"All kinds of small businesses businesses in this area will be affected," affected," she continued. Turning her attention to Liberal leader John Turner, she concluded, based on his long history of involvement with business and what she claimed were contradictory positions in the past, that "you're not quite sure if we can really trust the Liberals to oppose Free Trade." There are too many support ers of the pact in the Liberal Party, she claimed. "The only party we can trust to do something is the NDP," added the candidate. Unleashing her party's greatest weapon, Mrs. Wil bur mentioned her leader: "Ed Broadbent is trying to say that Free Trade permeates permeates our whole Canadian way of life." The candidate closed by exhorting citizens of Dur ham to vote NDP if they want to scuttle Free Trade. With that, the office, located at 58 Rossland Road Wert in Oshawa, was open for b isi- ness.
