J Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, Mlay 30, 1990-15 Puppet treat at United Church. anniver'sary The children, and aduits too, were given a puppet treatat the An- niversary Service on Sunday at Orono United Churcli. Mrs. Beaulali Buchwald, from Calvary Baptist Church, Oshawa, brought puppets, Lily the Lamb, Totally the Frog, Dukecy the Big Bird, and 'Minney the Monkey, to present bible stories. The various puppets were used as a medium to tell bible stories that kept the children's initerest at a high L and a h By Terry O'Shaughnessy Perhaps the best gauge of how> opposed the Canadian public is to the widely condemned Goods and Ser- vices Tax is -the fact that they believe the heavily criticized Senate has the riglit to reject the GST Iegislation. The existence of the Senate lias been a sore point for Canadians for many years. Unelected Senators, in their various poses of -patronage appointees and party faithful, have often been vilified by a public disgusted with supporting the expentsive buit essentially decorative Upper Houise. But recent poil resuits, conducted nationally by the Angus Reid Grouip on behaîf of the Canadian Fedieration of Independent Business, sbowed that 62 per cent of respondents feel the Senate lias a legitimate role to reject the GST legislation. (Only 29 per cent of t1he general public state they do not believe the Senate bas tbis right whifr79 per cent state no opinion on the mnatter). Provincially, respondents in Maýnitoba and Saskatchewan gave the strongest boost to the Senate, with 79 per cent supporting the right to reject the GSI. The Atlantic provinces checked in at 64 per cent support, British Columbia at 61 per cent, and Quebec at 53 per cent., Even Albertans, who have ex- pressed great dissatisfaction with the' current structure of the Senate and whose provincial government wants the system changed in order to have stron-ger representation for their own province, supported to the tune of 65 per cent the Senate's right to kîll the GSI (results whiich m-atched those in Ontario). On a nationail level. The stories caused con- siderable laughter, as well as leaving room for some serious considera-, tions., Following the puppet presenta- tion, a large number of children received various awards for atten- dance at church during the past year. Mrs. Thelmna Gilbank made the presentationts in the absence of the minister, Reverend Fred Milnes. -j lard tax basis, Canadians aiso, believe by 64 per cent to 26 per cent (10 per cent stated no opinion) that the Senate has the right to change the GST legisiation. Canadians must be very bitter indeed to be invoking the- Senate's help. But the fact is, the public obvi- ously feels that the federal govern- ment rammed the GST legislation through the House of, Commons before adequate discussion had beeti held oni the miany questionable aispects of the complex legisiation. The polilresuits back this up show- ing a stirng niationial majority of 76 per cent of respondents expressing the iew that the Senate should hold puiblic hearings oni the contentious tax. According to Catherine Swift, ViLce President of Research and Chief Economnist for the Canadian Feder- ation of Independent Business, these findings aire very significant. -" lTee is a strOng imessýage here," says Swift, "not only for the Senate bu Lt for the federal governiment. Cana- dians are not only displeased with the GST, they obviously feeî that cross- country hearings are necessary in order to give the public a chance to be heard on this issue." 1The bottom line is, regardless of how Canadians view the Senate in general terms, tirey, fully enidorse not only the Senate's ight to change and reject the GST leislation, they also overwhelmingly support cross- country hearings. But there's no dioubt about the fact that, by siding with the Senate against thre GST, C'anadiains finid themselyes betweent a rock anid a haard tax.
