So please, come one. comne alI, for a day at the Carnival. At the Carnival, you will find local dignitaries, friends, and neighbours, but mostly, lots of smiling happy children who just want to have some fun in the sun, provided it's not raining. News release from the Christian Heritage Party Thie full political spectrum was not available to viewers of "The Great Debate" Monday night. Organizers, faced with choosing among Canada's 14 registered parties drew. the line at parties which held seats in the last Parliament. Ron Gray, leader of the largest of the unrepresented parties, the Christian Heritage Party of Canada, pointed out that the Chistiani political voice was not the only signific-ant exclusion from "The Great Debate": Aboriginial leaders, were also absent. There were several areas wrhere the CHP agrees with the televised leaders, he said: "Jean Charest's statement that "Leadership Matters," "Goverrmerit ought to pro- vide a vision that wvill inspire the nation to realize its poten- tial. That's been misslng the last 30 years or more. CHP's vision is of a free, prosperous, united Canada, where fami- liés will be respected and pro-- tected. *Prime Minister Jean Chretien 5gçid we have to mnake a choice between "Medicare aipd Medikili." "PerhapË. this was a Freudian slip of the ton'rgue," mused Gray, "but such a choice cannot be entrusted to the Liberais, who gave us abortion on demarid, and i the last Parliament were ready to ram through euthariasia anid assisted sui- cide. Nor cari we entrust it to the Tories or the Reform, which has neither policies nor prmnciples on life issues. Gray also noted that the four non-governiment leaders agreed that Parliament is not serving the nation well. "Thiat is why CHP advocates pro- portional representation," sald Gray, pointingto a Glove and Mail editorial last March 15 which reminded Mr. Chretien of his promise in 1983. Mr. Charest spoke of a comnitment to his children. It was clear that concern for cbildren and famnilles, anid for national unity for their sake, are close to the hearts of most Canadians," said Gray. "CHP's policy of retuonciliation -- between Francophones anid Anglophones, Aboriginals anid those of Europeari descent, between native-borri and immigrant Canadians and among regions - is the only way to heal the land, because it is neither confrontation nor appeasement." He also wamned that the focus on. economiics obscures national vision, and ethical concerns. 'That was appar- ent in the Prime Minister's reference to his 'Team Canada' trade mission. Those missions -- binding Canada into commercial agreements with nations which use slave and child labour, and which imprison, torture and kill people for political and reli- gious beliefs - - those jurikets are a national shame! None of the leaders talked about how they stain Canada morally by our complicity with inhuman regimes, or how they force Canadian workers to compete with intolerable conditions. 1As important as anything that was said, were the things that were not addressed. "I think that is the reasonl for voter apathy: politicians are not talking about what really matters -- the questions of the heart." Or maybe you couldni't walk Or your vision wvas blurred.

With regard to slgns on public property, Mr. Kingsley urged candidates and poltical parties to consult with the municipality in whlch they lntend to place signs to ensure that local require- ments are respected.
