Events in Quebec have caused many to wonder how long Canada will remain a place of freedom and democracy. democracy. I suppose most of us have assumed that these basic basic freedoms were indestructible. indestructible. Perhaps this assumption assumption was naive. Tne formation and growth of various language groups across the Province nas been phenomenal. Many people were not aware of the catastrophic effects of Bill C- 72, enacted last year by the. 1 Mulroney government, and the French Language Services Services Act in Ontario. These Acts give serious licence to some zealous French Canadian Canadian nationalists to impose official bilingualism on almost almost every facet of human activity throughout Canada except in Quebec, which is exempt from these provisions. provisions. Unfortunately, some (editorials) (editorials) have branded these language groups as bigots ana racists, etc., in order to silence their legitimate concerns. concerns. Although these groups have attracted some people who have experi enced real problems in getting getting good jobs with government government agencies and, understandably, are emotionally emotionally involved, the majority majority are calm, intelligent and well-informed people of all ethnic backgrounds, including including French Canadians, who love Canada and want it to continue to be a place of equal opportunity and freedom freedom for everyone. Language groups have own rapidly, such as the udbury Association for English Rights (SAER), from a few members of over gr ( Su 3,000 now. These groups are not anti-French, but are against the aggressive promotion promotion of bilingualism where it is not needed. An umbrella group, The Canadian Canadian Federation for Language Language Groups, R.R. #2, Site 36, Box 26, Sudbury, Ontario, Ontario, P3E 4M9, will link all these independent • groups together for the sharing of information and joint action to allow the public to express express their concerns.

It was a great place. We loved it. But we could never keep it comfortable enough. "So when we decided to buy a new house, we decided to go R-2000. We checked into it and found that R-2000 would do two things. Cut down on energy costs, and make the place a lot more comfortable. "The double-glazed windows are great. The ground source heat pump gives us air conditioning conditioning in the summer, too. And . the fireplace keeps the living room cozy.
