In Canada we are operating with an annual loss of something over 30 billion dollars. The car manufacturers manufacturers and especially GM are doing very well. But one of the conditions (apparently) of this expansion is that we, the poor people, give the rich boys an interest free loan of 22 million, plus a quota on imports to protect their sales. Since one U.S. dollar now equals about $1.30 Canadian you might think if they need a loan they might pay the going rate interest interest wise.? I was pleased to read your editorial re Bill C 169 over which the national citizens coalition took the government to court and won their case. This appeal to the courts was financed in part by a dinner in Toronto when 250 people paid $100.00 each to support a principle principle in which they believed. I have supported the coalition (which is non political) for some years and had I been living in Toronto I might have gone to the dinner though I don't usually pay that much for a meal. The speaker was the lawyer for the coalition and the cost was something over 300 thousand. The government brought in at least one big shot from the U.S. and probably spent a bundle of our money. With a parliament overflowing with lawyers you might think someone would have pointed out that the bill was unconstitutional. unconstitutional. The coalition has a budget of $600,000.00 plus for this election - all this money \ Come, f \ Pariôfourself. t P ark yourself by the campfire in an Ontario Provincial Park.

Watched the Lib. convention with interest and liked Don Johnston. My wife, who has worn a green summer hat for years, was naturally for Whalen. The head gear is now known as "Whalens Hat." Watched the Eng. debate with more interest and being a bit biased thought Mulroney won rather handily. Wifey, not so biased, liked Broadbent. I thought Turner was not good; very tense and tight lipped, staring through unblinking eyes and utterly lacking in something called warmth. The Libs are trying to entice any well known Tory to run under their banner in the west. Although a little late I would remind them Jack Horner may be available. Horner crossed the floor and ran for them twice and was defeated each time but maybe third time lucky? After the second loss he was given a little position as head of the C.N.R. Some people would call this patronage but they probably had to do it. So my suggestion is to leave a note at head office and when Horner drops in some day he will pick it up. Make the offer pretty good as Horner now draws over a hundred thousand thousand yearly. The polls are favoring the Libs. As they have since the great one himself himself handed in his resignation. Two things are certain - firstly, firstly, whoever wins inherits one awful mess and secondly, whoever wins we are going to get a much improved government. government. I would like to recognize our Board of Education who have been raising salaries again, this time for a measley five percent, which means super chief Tushingham will take $71,570.00, chief Moorcraft will settle for $65,050.00 and chief Patterson $6-1,005.00. Three lesser chiefs will take $63,560.00 each and a few lesser lights will include one at $62,230.00 and one at only $56,230.00 but he will have an assistant who will have to get by on $43,000,00. Quite an overhead overhead for a rinky dink board who I see have ordered a study into, separate school funding. Maybe the study is to determine determine how low enrolment can go before it is necessary to eliminate some lop brass,?.
