During the 19th century, many villages and small towns across Canada constructed mu- nicipal meeting halls which served as political and social centres for their communities. This is a particularly fine exam- ple of the type. It was completed in 1873 to celebrate the opening ofa rail link to Lake Ontario, an event which appeared to herald the economic triumph of Port Perry over other nearby commu- nities. Noteworthy for its com- manding site and the quality of its design and interior finishes, this building testifies to the vi- sion and optimism of its spon- sors. The plaque will be cast in both English and French using the new version. The plaque will be officially unveiled in 1993.

Rob Long, an unemployed bricklayer from Prince Albert, says the NDP have destroyed the province since taking over in 1990, and believes it is in the best interests of the province if the leader resigned. "This guy can't be in for the next three years, something has tobe done," he says. Determined to see that some- thing is done, Mr. Long has be- gun circulating a flyer to house- holds in the area demanding Mr. Rae resign. With "RESIGN" screaming across the top of the page, this sheet claims that "NDP Premier Bob Rae is a failure." It lists high taxes, government spend- ing, job losses and businesses closing. "Rae doesn't know the an- swers -- he doesn't even know the questions," it says. "He can't lead and he can't follow, so he's got to get out of the way." Mr. Long says he decided to take up the cause after losing his job. He began to feel disillu- sioned with the government and the state of the province during the poor economic times. He blames the government for the fact he is currently un- employed, pointing to the fact that 60 per cent of the construc- tion workers are currently out of work. Mr. Long claims the province is beyond a recession, "I call it a depression." Mr. Long says many Ontari- ans feel the same way as he does, but are afraid tb voice 50.00 oF ore" | Tyne their opinions. "Canadians are a bunch of wimps. They sit around the ta- ble and complain, but nobody does anything. It is about time we did something." Although not sure if his small fight will have any affect on Mr. Rae's government, Mr. Long be- lieves if enough people take up the cause it will hear the peo- ple's discontent. Chief David J.
