) l Candidates State Their Plat forms for Sept. 6th Vote • Dear Voters, • Are you dissatisfied with the three traditional pbliti-, cal parties? I am. ' Mr. Peterson and his Liberals Liberals are spending our money money as though they have a Gold Card with our names written on it. In 1989 Elinor Caplan, Minister of Health, spent 5.7 million dollars to study the sex, eating and ex- ercise habits of people in Ontario. Ontario. Meanwhile a Midland woman and a Markham man died while waiting for hospital beds. There has been a 700 bed reduction under under Mr. Peterson. The Liberals Liberals spent $300,000 sending S'; Family Coalition Party m ' ■ g l|(: Tim Crookall 140 bureaucrats to an Italian Italian trade show, ' some of iyhom spent $1,000 a night in five star hotels. Harold Ballard, the late millionaire owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, was flown by private jet from Florida to Toronto at a cost of $10,000 to taxpayers. taxpayers. Mr. Peterson brags about his job creations. He fails to mention that 9,000 of those jobs are. new bureaucratic bureaucratic appointments. The list goes on. No wonder taxes are out of control! The NDP is committed to the socialization of Ontario. One look at the bankrupt economy of Eastern Europe should frighten anyone at the thought of an NDP government government in our province! The Conservative Party was once trusted by many of us to uphold high standards' of traditional values. But now, like the Liberal Party, it has shifted so far from its former tenets that it has lost its identity and lost touch with the true wishes of the people. • 1 I didn't feel good about voting until I discovered The Family Coalition Party. I was impressed with its integrity. integrity. The FCP is Ontario's Ontario's fourth largest party with 68 candidates running in this election. I was selected selected as the candidate for Durham Durham East. The FCP is committed to honest, frugal government. Taxpayers' money should be treated with respect. The provincial deficit must be cut and eventually eliminated. eliminated. We would reduce government government size without eliminating eliminating essential services. The values that we teach our children today will determine determine the kind of Ontario we will have tomorrow. The work ethic must be fostered. Our schools should promote responsibility and a commitment commitment to excellence. : We believe in responsible free enterprise for a strong economy. Small business must be protected from unfair unfair practices such as price fixing. Co-operation between employees and management must be encouraged. The FCP does not receive funding funding from big business or trade unions. ' Locally, as your MPP I would fight for an environmentally environmentally friendly solution to the Laidlaw dump site. In an effort to better understand understand the dangers of atomic energy, we need a health study of the area surrounding surrounding the Darlington nuclear plant. The proposed 407 Highway must be routed far enough north to avoid future urban areas and to protect prime farm land. The FCP is pro-family. We oppose abortion and wide open Sunday shopping. We believe that a strong province is made up of strong families. A vote for any of the three old parties is a vote for the problem. A vote for the FCP is a vote for the solution. solution. don't waste your vote. Vote FCP! Sincerely, Tim Crookall FCP Candidate, Durham East Ontario P.C.

Ontario Liberal Party The voters of Durham East have a very important decision to make on September September 6. They must decide who best represents their ideas, their values and their future. future. As your representative mÿ first commitment would be to the residents of this riding. I've got a public record that people can look at and from that determine if I'm honest, straight forward forward and hard-working. I think it's imperative to keep in touch with the grassroots and I have the confidence and strength if elected. The quality of life in Durham Durham East will be under considerable considerable pressure^ in the find solutions to today's problems while putting in place the controls to protect us over the next decade. I grew up in Durham East and have lived here most of my life and if asked why I'm running I would say "I care about our future." Marilyn Pearce Confederation Of Regions Party I ran as a candidate in this election for many reasons reasons but I suppose the Meech Lake fiasco was the last straw. I found out that "we", the "SILENT MAJORITY", MAJORITY", are looked upon as "REDUCE TAXES" introduce introduce REFERENDA and MPP recall. The Liberal government has increased taxes 33 times, cut funding to ENVIRONMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL programmes (promised in the last election) election) refused to fund BATTERED BATTERED WOMEN'S homes, ruined our once proud HEALTH CARE system, introduced introduced the catastrophic YOUNG OFFENDERS ACT, employed in excess of 5,500 senior staff (mostly bilingual bilingual posts, i.e. not Ontarians) Ontarians) at a cost of $7-800 million million per year, let developers take our FARM LANDS, let 19 government departments go across the St. Lawrence river at the cost of THOUSANDS THOUSANDS of jobs, TAXED over 100 small companies out of business (they went south of the border), import thousands thousands of workers from Quebec Quebec to do jobs Ontarians could do and has an alleged corruption case hanging over it (need I say more)? Let's get together and change our Province into an HONEST and PROUD one for our children and grandchildren. grandchildren. The C.O.R.

You the voter voter have to decide who will be on your side when it comes to important issues facing you and your family. New Democrats believe that the people of Ontario matter more than private in- irestsr' , For" ll the , ""last"- , 45 ' ars, both the Tories and the Liberals have dominated the agenda of this province. They continue to defend the standards' that make a fair Ontario. unachievable. New Democrats, will make the tough choices when it comes to tne environment. We will make the big polluters clean up their act. Well give you, tne citizens, rights to stop pollution under our Environment Environment Bill of Rights. It's also time we got our priorities straight when it comes to taxes. Companies that are profitable, and people people who are wealthy, should pay their fair share. It's that simple. Since 1985 the Liberals Liberals have increased taxes by 132 percent. The Liberals, Liberals, in a pre-election ploy, have promised to reduce sales tax by 1 per cent. This is a shameless show of audacity audacity directed to Ontarians. In 1985, the people of Ontario Ontario decided that they had Marilyn I*earce next four years. The problems problems we are encountering now did not occur over night. The pollution problems problems of today are a result of a lack of controls over the past 30 years. The transportation transportation problems of today are a result of a lack of effective planning 20 years ago and the education funding and capital shortfalls are examples examples of cut backs in the early eighties when planners foresaw foresaw record numbers in our schools but governments were afraid to make the necessary necessary funding changes. If you support me on the "6th" I will be an energetic representative who will bring a common sense, "back to basics", philosophy to the Harry Tunbridge stupid people who can be used for whatever purpose suits the present governments. governments. Well, I've had it with these people so this is what I see as our turn to get rid of Dictatorial Governments just as they did in Eastern Europe. I find that I live in a .Country where "Aparthied" is practiced in one province and condoned by tne province province that I live in. Our Premier Premier has done nothing to 'change this except to offer some of our senate seats, spend millions of our dollars each day on a forced policy of Bilingualism and fund "Multicultural" < organizations organizations that keep the people of Ontario separated into small "handable" groups. We should be getting together not going our separate ways! We should be working to be CANADIANS: spending our money on the essentials of life and not on the dream of a small ' group who want a French, only. Canada. We should all have the. right to eat every day, have 1 a roof over our heads, get good medical health care, work for a living, retire with a good, hard earned pension and have a say in tne running running of our province. Our young people must have the best technical training, be judged on MERIT when applying applying for a job, and get the backing of the government to take us into the 21st century. century. If I were elected I would first set up a system of "one on one" communications, hold meetings in selected E laces with the people in lurham East on a regular basis (monthly) and give everybody a chance to make an input into getting a fair share of the say in running our riding.
