Everv ne ahave thpir ehoic' of ment stores didn't go into a post- Christmas taiîspin as expected. In fact they had a very good January, with sales totalling $776.9 million, 4.2 per cent of one year ago. Add in some other encouraging indicators -- businesses are planning to invest much more hcavily on new plants and equipment in 1990, more new houses are being started, our dollar continues to strengthen against other currencies -- and one begins to wonder whether we are going to see that economic downturn. Or, as one business consultant was. quoted last week: "This reces- sion is possibly not goîng to hap- pen." We've just finished our first ful year since the Canada-U.S. Trade agreement -- commonly called free trade -- became law. And we've heard many reports about how that agreement is affecting Canada adversely. When the agreement was signed, its opponents warned they would blame free trade for each and every subsequent industrial layoff or fac- tory closing. And that's what hap- pened over the shutdown of GM's van plant in Scarborough. Very lit- tde attention was given in the saine week to Freightliner's announced plans for a new $43 million truck factory at St. Thomas, Ontario. Closure of the Inglis' plant at Toronto remains a popular target for free trades opponents. Only one news report that I saw mention- ed the new factory which is to be opened on that samie site., One of free trade's severe criticsý waàs McCain Foods, of New Brunswick. The company warned that free trade would -devastate' Canada's food processing industry and cost thousands of jobs. Perhaps through kindness, none of that was recalled last month when the samie company, McCain Foods, announced plans for a new $36 million potato processing plant that will create 169 jobs on-Prince Edward Island. That was just a few days after a competing company stated it was also building an equal- ly expensWe new potato plant that will employ '160 workers on the Island. In the year since the free trade' agreement began some businesses certainly have closed and some jobs were lost. But labour shifts are a fact of life today. Some four million Canadians change their jobs in a normal year for personal and business reasons. So despite ail the dire warnings from the critics, under free trade our economy is doing extremiely well, our culture survives, our lakes and rivers are not being drainied in- the U.S. and -- best of ail ý__anada's sovereignty remains un- quesionérably intact. music.
