(tUrono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 7th, 1990 fSecond Claos Mai] Registration NumberW00368 Published Every Wedneslay at the office of Publication - Roy C. Foýeeter, Editur 'hefairesi' of (hem a/i In a recent opinion poli, one of many we are inundated xith these days, the question of what type of a leader was accep- table was asked. The published return pointed to 73 percent eall- irg for a leader with a vision for Canada and the determination tcý carry out that vision. Looking over the present crop of leaders and even those tf at have been in power in the past decade or close to power just 54 10 would one choose to fuI this criteria. Let's leave out Bob Rae for the presenit time, a leader who has yet to prove himself as well as his party. If ail boils down to one man with a vision for Canada and the determination to carry the vision through to fruitation. None other than Brian Mulroney. On coming to power he made it known that Canada was cpen for business and since Canada has been. He called for free t ade in his next step for his vision and doggedly fought and won shere others over the history of this nation have lost. The Good and Service tax, a most scourned tax, is also i cluded in his vision, and make no doubt of the end result - we v Il have the GSI corne January. He also had a vision of special powers for his native pro- v nce to be introduced partially through the Meech Lake Ac- cord. Oh he fought, scratched, dug in his heels and thwarted the opposition. The fact that he lost was flot that harsh considering ail he had won over the past five to six years. He still had a vision ard he continued with determination. You can't always fault a person for failure and flot so in this case. The only problem Brian's vision has flot been acceptable, fa from being acceptable. Tainted with Reaganonomies and sp ittered with Thatches isrn it has neyer won the hearts of Cana- di ns as it cut into the Canadian way of at least having some co. icern for 'thy neighbour'. Mulroney could have been a winner if his 20/20 had been wFV it it'should have ought to have been. He could have been the fai -est of them all. A-* Mary Rutherford that is. And what will you ask? How does one reduce waste around the home? It's a down-to earth formula along with a commitment an( it's compiled through the usec of common sense. No con- sul ints, no enginieer-s - just plain old coroimon sense. Would that thie politicians would listen, if in the first pla e they are interested in saving tax dollars and secondly if the really do have an interest in solving the garbage problem tha we dig deeper and built higher to store away. Pilot projects have býeen the order of the day yet when corrpleted and analyzed the whole thing is forgotten, out-of- sigi ,, out-of-mind. Such wvas the case in the Town of Newcastle witl digesters and composters. As K ristin McCrea asks, "where is ti e Toxic Taxi". Sureiy even one vehicle could service more thai one community. If you want adown to earth solution - it's Mary you ask. Queens. Park Report" by Gord Milis MOrdaky started offthe week with p -rhaps the highlight of my life, be ng swom in by the Clerk of the Lç gislature as the MPP for Durha;i East. The ceremony was very simple and quite short, neverti eless, it was moving. The Clerk (f the Legislature, Claude L. DesRosiers, is a kindly man, and foilowing the formal part of the ceremony, he gave cour grandchildren a history lesson about what they had seen. I suspect that they will long remnember both the day and the occasion. Monday evcning was spent at St. Saviours Church in Orono, where two Orono Girl Guides received the Canada Cord, the highest award possible in Girl Guiding. I was pleased to present scroîls on behaîf of the Ontario Government recognizing their achievements. Tuesday was spent at Grosvenor Street as a normal work day. 'Mat cvening I went to the Girl Guides meeting in Pontypool. The occasion was to present Jamie Luke with a seroll on behaif of the Ontario Governrnent, which recognized her achievement by eamning the Canada Cord. Wednesday rnorning was spent at Qucen's Park co-ordinating the final requirements for staff, telephones and equipment for the constituency office in Bowmanvilic. The aftemnoon was' spent at Grosvenor Street learning of my involvement in the "Crime Prevention Week' which commences on November 4th. Thursday was spent in Scarborough with the rest of the government, discussing many pressing issues. How to deal best with issues that effect us ail remains a great responsibility.
