This Is the Intent of Bill C- 55, ta insure Caniadian mag- azines survive by havlng access ta advertising rev- enues. The legislatian will also make it illegal for Canadian campanies ta use strlctly LInerican publications ta reach Canadian audiences. As has been the tradition TIME and Sports llustrated are exempt. 1If advertising revenues dry Up for Canadian magazines obvlously they wll go out of business. Thus aur ability ta have an indigenaus Canadian publishing industry will go by the wayside. Ask yaurself, do Amierican' publications have any interest in telling Caniadian storles? I think nat. And loolng at the state of the art in the U.S. it's questionable if they have the tblity ta tell their own sto- r-ties ta their own people. Ally McBeal, Fellclty, Hamer Simpsan and Jerry Slenfeld rule prime time tele- vision media south of the bor- der, and here as well, but it hardly reflects anyane's cul- ture, be that Canadian or American. Canada's existence in the northemn hemisphere is due ta the desire of its people ta formulate a unique culture. Part of that culture has been Canadians' tendency ta deal with their enivironment rather than trying ta conquer it. As the airwaves. internet, movie productions and maga- zines flood Canadlan markets with Amierican cultural val- ues, ever increasingly, Canadians will want ta find ways of preservlng and pro- moting their cultural life. And on top of ail this we wlll stilI have ta find ways af defining aurselves within the saup of mass communication. The threads that bind 30 million people, accuLpying the second largest country on earth, are fragile. This is whv it is appropriate for Canadians ta take measures ta ensure aur history and aur starles can be told. At theatre houses in Canada over 98 per cent of productions are from outside aur barders. A large portion of television ariginates outside aur borders. Clearly it cannot be unrea- sonable for Canadians, who wýant ta selI products ta Canadians. ta use Canadian periodicals ta reach their ,markets thus supporting-aur' ecanamy. Americans cry fowl citing Canada for instigating restric- tive trade practices. We are neyer going ta get parity with the Americans when it cames ta restricting trade. We have freer trade but not free trade because pawerful Arrests in welfare fraud FOOD COLU re continue with recipes of 'the American ln 3 small red bell peppers 1 tbsp. dijon-style mustard 3 tbsps. w Ine vinegar 1 tsp.

"We were overwhelmed by the assistance we received - fram parents warking tageth- er ta pick up or temporarily house children until their families could get there, ta canmiunity members volun- tarily rldlng in on snowimo-, biles and four wheel drive vehicles ta deliver the stu- dents home safely," says Angela Lloyd, .Board Chairperson. "We alsa know that many bus aperators and drivers did their best in slippery and dangerous conditions, and that many principals and other school staff stayed late ta make sure every child found a way home," she adds. "Some were even prepared ta keep the students at the school ovemnight, if they had ta. Their first concemn was for the safety of aur students, and wte appreciated their efforts." Lloyd adds she also appre- ciated the work of municipal roads crews in making major routes passable. Unifartunately, there were same cases where bus opera- tors were farced ta cancel transportation on specific routes, and the medla's assis- tance In getting that informa- tion ta parents was greatly appreciated, she adds. U.S. lobbies have a great deai of contrai over their politi- cians and the political pro- cess. For instance the steel lobby in Canada doesn't want ta see this cultural issue gîve the Arnericans the ability ta impose quotas, or other restrictive measures on the shipment of steel southward. The steel lobby in the U.S. wants ta shut the door an imports from everywhere, not just Canada, and they will push that agenda. And any excuse, including magazine advertising, wIil suffice. Americans only find cam- petition good when-they are winning. For example l've noticed they don't want us campeting with them in the area of satellite communica- tion. The point is Americans stand up for their interests every day. Therefare, ,Canadians shouldn't have any fear of standing up ta them and say- mng we will continue ta sup- port aur cultural industries because standing up means aur cultural survival. 53 Division Street Bowmanville, Ontario LIC MZ *Pedicure *Manicures *Waxinig *Nail Extensions *Ear Candling *EyelashTiniting ESTLIETIC STUDIO 171 Mill St., Orono, Ontario LOB 1M1\0 Broil the bell peppers until skln blackens and blisters, turnlng the peppers.
