By Peter Parrott Those commercials telling Canadians how to be diplomatic in their behaviour towards towards foreign tourists strike me as slightly frightening. I'm all for being friendly to people. No problem there. Naturally, Naturally, I'd agree that this sort of common courtesy courtesy should extend towards towards foreign visitors. But you never hear commercials saying we should be courteous to our next door neighbour neighbour or the guy who works in the office next to ours. You only hear commercials saying that we have to be friendly towards tourists. Obviously, somebody is convinced that the future future belongs to tourism. I used to think of Canada Canada as a nation of industries, industries, agriculture, and natural resources. But now, I'm wondering wondering if we'll be asked to put on lumberjack costumes costumes and pose beside highways and parking lots for photographs. I know tourism is an important business and that there are hundreds of thousands who are employed by this industry industry within Canada. I'm willing to see the business business expand and prosper because if people will pay to visit our country, we should welcome them in. But I hope that our government's long- range policy on economic development consists of something more than turning Canadians into a nation of tour-guides. And that's just what is implied implied when one hears commercials telling the natives to be friendly. Well, it certainly isn't my intention to be rude to tourists. I promise to be polite when asked about the shortest distance distance to Banff, the nearest performance of the Musical Ride or the direction of the CN Tower. I only hope I'm not expected expected to dive for coins thrown from the decks ofvisiting cruise ships.
