Robert Glasbey Advertising Director Norman Alexander Editor Geoff Hill Circulation Director Teri Casas Office Manager Tim Coles Production Manager Of course this is absolute rubbish and what‘s more, Parizeau knows it. In fact he even alluded to the fact that even if his referendum on separation failed, there would be more referenda in the future. In Parizeau‘s words, the question of indeâ€" pendence will be like "a neverâ€"ending visit to the dentist". Ec ons uebec Premier Jacques Parizeau told the Toronto chapter of the Canadian Club Tuesday, that he felt a visit to Ontario was called for before he jourâ€" neyed to New York and Paris to lobby support for an independent Quebec. pompous, how presumptuous, how Parizeau. To hear the Parti Quebecois leader tell it, his province will continue to gnaw away at the rest of Canada until it gets what it wants...independence. in i Ti â€" We don‘t often find ourselves in agreement with Ontario Premier Bob Rae but when he said Parizeau was making a "huge miscalculation" in sloughingâ€"off any negative views of Canadians about Quebec separation, Rae was putting the case mildly. _ _ s > â€" It takes a lot to get Canadians angry but Parizeau will accomplish that feat in the coming months. He will be facing resistance from average Quebeckers who put mdependence at the bottom of thelr agenda below jobs, housmg and taxatxon In a couple of sentences, Parizeau washed aside any objection to a ‘new"‘ Quebec using Canadian currency. By the premier‘s reckoning, the federal governâ€" ment couldn‘t stop such a move. But of course his government would want to ignore Quebec‘s portion of the national debt, continue using an infrastructure paid for by all Canadians and believe that he will have no problems in dealing with the native population in Quebec. Parizeau‘s message is simple and to the unwary, his professorial manner can be seductive. And it is only through understanding Parizeau‘s agenda that Canadians will be able to shake off their complacency about the future of Quebec and rally around our Canada...everyone‘s Canada, including that of Quebeckers. Failure to do so sets up a scenario almost too scary to contemplate. Association has come up with a politicallyâ€"correct spin on common phrases used in the English language. They‘re technically referred to as ‘idioms‘ but these teachers believe some of these phrases are just too violent and militaristic. fi pamphlet being distributed by the North York Women Teachers‘ They would have us ban such phrases as "take a stab at it" and "kill two birds with one stone" and replace them with "go for it" and "get two for the price of one", respectively. Perhaps if the teachers, who obviously spent countless hours ferreting out, (oops!) researching these offensive phrases, spent as much time concerning themâ€" selves with more relevant concerns in education, the North York students would be better served. This is yet another example of how some educators and doâ€"gooders would hide reality and effective language use behind nonsensical replacement words and phrases. Their goal is to sanitize the language and make it politically correct. Sorry ladies, life isn‘t like that and neither is our language in fact it‘s the very descriptive nature of our language that is its strength. Why weaken it with this nonsense? There‘s already too much of this sterile and bureaucratic abuse of english going on that puts obfuscation above clarification. Some examples:Those who break the law are ‘offenders‘ and not thieves, crooks, thugs, murderers, rapists etc. To call them such would be...well, gauche, offensive and vulgar. That‘s as opposed to their offenses. These people are not sent to prison or jail but placed in a correctional facility or our favorite a detention centre. It‘s all nothing short of idiocy.

Members of the Oakville detachment this week were forced to begin walking from their homes to detachment headquarters on the Queen Elizabeth Way, after an inspector put the kibosh on the ageâ€"old pracâ€" tice of having a fellow officer pick them up in a cruisâ€" er.

Oakville OPP officers told they‘d no longer get free ride "Nobody will believe us," said Otto, who is now skating with his sister in a Buffalo ice show. "This is our fifth retirement."

Shields claimed the 15.4% hike announced last week by colleges and universities minister James Auld, is "in fact, not an increase at all. It‘s really a drastic decrease." He said the amount would not be enough to cover the college‘s increased enrolment, inflation and conâ€" tract settlements in the coming year. "It‘s at least 10% lower than we require and, if that‘s all we get, we‘re in real trouble," he warned. â€" Oakville Journal Record, Nov. 25, 1974 10 years ago Following Oakville MPP Jim Snow‘s lead, the majority of the Tory leadership convention delegates selected by the Oakville Progressive Conservative Association, Wednesday night, lean towards Trade Minister Frank Miller as the next Premier of Ontario. Of the 10 Oakville delegates chosen for the January leadership convention in Toronto, three declared their support for Miller, while three others said they ‘leaned‘ towards Miller. An automatic convention delegate, Snow, the Minister of Transportation and Communications, threw his support behind Miller when his leadership bid was announced. "It‘s no secret I‘m a Miller man," said Snow over the noise generated by more than 250 Tories at the Normandy Room at the Oakville Legion. Miller has three opponents in the leadership race, Attorney General Roy McMurtry, Agricultural Minister Dennis Timbrell and Treasurer Larry Grossman, but there were only Miller buttons in eviâ€" dence at the Oakville meeting.
