Says Stephen Clarkson by Boib Bnson According to Toronto author and university teacher, Steph- en Clarkson, the city of Toronto will continue to grow, and to gnow wonse, as long as it us 'a politcal and financial colony" of the provincial goveriiment. "~Toronto, and ail the other towns and cities of Ontario are colonies of Queen's Park," he told bis audience at the Canadian Club of West Dur- bam la Trinity United Church on Monday, November 26th. "City bal bas onlyr a tiny amount of power to control the tbings that happen in the City." "Tbe people wbo live in communities, whether large or smali, should be the ones who rua their own affairs," be continued. New Reform Spirit Clarkson conceded that "the spectacular resuits" of iast December's municipal. elec- tions la Toronto, bave fostered a new and optimistic refonm spirit, both among the politic- ians and the people of Toronto. "~A whole new group of people with a different set of values were elected to City hall," he said, adding that they don't believe that bigger and bigber building and wider streets lead to a better situation in tbe City. However, bhe voiced bis fears that Mayor David Crom- hie and the other nef orm politicians will oniy be able to improve the circumstances in the city for tbe short run. Ciarkson noted that 50,000 people are being funneled into the Toronto area eveny year and some of the moves now being made to proteet tbe quaiity of life in the city may lead to, a housing shortage whicb ultimateiy could lead to another cycle of degeneration. 'Getting better, by defini- tion for Toronto, means no more higb ise buildings and the protection of existifig neigbborhoods and communi- ties within the ity," he said. "To me, high rises mean instability, the destruction of, neighborhoods and the break- down of communities." He pointed out that the new city bail administration bas passed a beigbt restriction by-law whicb limits the maxi- mum heigbt of any new building in the city to 45 feet,' unless city council gives special approval. City bal bas also piaced an unprecedenited freeze on development in a 25 square mile area in the heant of downtown. These mioves, combined witb a recent federal goverii- ment program which makes it easier for citizens to renovate their neighborhoods, are goodl signs, said Clarkson. IIow- ever, unless more sweeping and fundamental changes are made ihe e'ver irîcreàsing, population Vil] Cor-ce the price and supply of housing to tbie cniticai point in Toronto. Spillover to Bowmanviile "Toronto", said the former city mayoralty candidate, "is not an island unto itself. Many .neW Bowmanville residents, in the new subdi visions, no doubt work in Toronto", he noted. Decisions made in the city have a spiliover effect into ail surrounding commun- ities. Moreover, "Toronto is a DEW line for the rest of urban development in Canada," hie said. If Toronto ends up an area of crime and violence like Detroit it does not bode well for the other areas of the country which are on the verge of major urbanization. 1"If Toronto is to get better, more liveable, it will have to stop growing. We bave to find ways to slow down the growtb rate in this area." While he admitted be had not studied the iss ue of regional governments closeiy, Clarkson commented, "Lt stnikes me that the spread of regional governments means a continuation of the same paternal attitude on the part of the provincial government. Tbey want to tell us what is good for us ail across the province." Clarkson suggested that the' ideal solution to the dilemma of the cities wouid be a new constitutional position along with greater tax powers. He was quick to add "this sounds good but is absoluteiy unreal- istic in tbe present politicai climate." Noting that "recent ne- search bas shown that control over our urban development now rests largely with pivate development corporations" Ciarkson stated, "the question . . . is whether our urban future will be con trolled by the pivate developers' interests or by the public througb its own representatives." Coalition Wouid llelp One solution suggested by the speaker to the colonial straightjacket and the econ- oic exploitation of the cities would be the creation 'of a strong coalition of Ontario communities. "We need a province-wide coalition between the citizens of Toronto, who want to stop their city's uncontnolled over- development, and the other cities of Ontario who may still want to expand their living space, their industrial plant and their cultural, facilities. "With the cities of Ontario working together, instead, of being played off against one another by Queen's Park, there would be a good chance that the urban future of this province would be a promise, not a threat." be concluded. Questions and Answers' 4flr i'. foi-mal speech, Clankson participated in a lively question and answer period witb bis audience. ACT FAST.. OLD RATES IN EFFECT UNTIL CLOSING FRUDAY, NOV. 3Oth ONLY Many of. the questions fnom the floor deait with the rapid urbanization which is threat- ening this area. One person commented that he didn't like the idea of Bowmanville's population doubling in the next few years while another asked if simple economies didn't dictate urban growth and development. To the latter question Clarkson re- plied that. Canada doesn't live in a pure free enterprise system and that the govern- ment makes the rules for the game when it comes to development. He added that the senior levels of govern- ment have a considerable amount of control over where development will go by build- ing highways and airports, which stimulate growth. Regarding the need for the proposed Pickering airport Clarkson commented that the government' bas based their assumptions on the facet that Canada's population is expeet- ed to reach 40 million by the year 2,000. Howeven, such an extrapolation, may. not be accurate, said Clarkson. The birth-rate in the province of Quebec, for example, bas dropped'dramatically in the SLACKS .$6.OO UP YELVERTON Miss Cornie Zegers of Orono and Miss Cynthia Bis of Peterboro spent two weeks at the Murray Malcolms at which time the girls and Marleah were teaching at the Lind- say Day Care and nursing sehool in Lindsay.
