RKeport From Ottawa by Ross Stevenson, M.P. for Durham Events in the Soviet Union have moved so swiftly that it will be some time before we know the full story behind the recent unsuccessful coup and its dramatic aftermath. However we did have another clear demonstration that in today's world nobody has the power to tumn back the dlock. Clearly it must have been a sever shock to the coup leaders when they seized control of the countrys traditional levers of power -- the Communist party, the KGB security service, and the armed forces -- only to find those levers dlidn't work like they used to. Six years of glasnost, perestroika and burgeoning demiocracy had changed drastically the governmental structure as well as the way people think. 'Most had no desire to go back to a totalitarian system, especially those of the younger generation who came of age in the Gorbachev era. Certainly there were those in the privileged higher strata of the communist bureaucracy who would have welcomed a return to the tightly-ordered regime in which they personally felt more secure. 1 dont think its stretching a point to suiggest some p)arallels to our own affairs. While Canadians wil11 scoff at any Ruissians wish to re ve rt to recpressive state communism, there are somie amnotg us Fin sure who could sýympathiiize withi the yearning to retum tio a imen that seemningly was safer anýd more peitbe As people get older they often become increasingl y less comifortable wt change. There are mny 1 know who hark back to a time when life in Canada seemingly was much bette r. Living was cheaper, so were houses; taxes were lower, and our cities a lot less crowded., Its also a fact that we earned much less, and the average Ca nadian back then had considerably fewer spare dollars to spend. In my own lifetime the population of Canada has more than doubled, with most living in urban communities. Theres nothing 1 or anyone else.can do about that, even if we wanted to. The fact is that we now live in the future, and theres no way we can recapture the past, whatcver its illusory appeai. Theres another parallel somewhat more pertinent to our own national affairs. No nmattr how great it may have been, once a country is divided it cant accomplish anything.- Soviet Russia cant repair its own economy or even get desperately needed food from the farmis to the people who want to buy it. And once a counitry starts dividing, theres absoluitely no telling where the process miay lead or end. at the time this was written seven Soviet republics were seeking or claimi ng fuil independence. it, appears questionable whether anythiing can survive or their present central govenmnent. Id suggest that situation offers a grave warning to thiose who advocate getting rid of a province, or who seek a signiificant reduction in the federal govemmrieits powers -- powers that in fact are essenitial to operate and maintain the strong and efficient Canadian nation we enjoy today.
