DSH Letters to the editor No vote means status quo To the Editor: Canada has a constitution! It was signed by Her Majesty the Queen July 1, 1982. All the the signators were Francophones, Trudeau, Chretian and Ou- lette. The ink was barely dry when Quebec started making more demands. Twenty years ago at the Vic- toria conference an accord was reached by all premiers. Bou- rassa went back to Quebec and after pressure from St. Jean Baptiste Society scuttled the deal. For the past two years since the defeat of Meech Lake, Bourassa has boycotted all meetings. Prime Minister Mulroney speaking in French in Quebec announced some 33 historic gains for Quebec. Premier Rae said it was the largest conces- sion ever made in the history of Canada. Bourassa has said it is a starting point for further de- mands. Premier Wells said the demands of the Quebec nation- alists will never end. The Mulroney government is spending $500 million on the YES campaign and a further $1 billion on computers to analyze the results. They have recruit- ed every person in reach tocam- paign on YES side. Not one pen- ny for the NO side. Where is the balance? In a democratic societ- ty information is the currency of a democracy. Canada's foremost authority on the Constitution Senator Eugene Forsey said "The rest of Canada in reality will become a colony of Quebec, with Quebec effectively controlling Canada - -but Canada has nosay in what happens in Quebec". Even all this is not enough for Quebec! How much more? All Canadi- ans must be treated equally. Does the Charter not mean this? After the scare tactics by Mulroney and the banks the dollar took a nose dive. It cost a reported $4.2 billion to stabilize the fall. Quebec gets about $5 billion in equalization payments fund- ed mainly by Ontario and Brit- ish Columbia every year. With the new deal Quebec will have virtual control with one third of Supreme Court and 25 percent ELD l 98 a Jal ad-148" 668-2003 Whitby 139 Water Street & 6 High Street, Port Perry 411 Dundas Street, E. Whitby of Commons. Don't listen to the merchants of doom and gloom aided and abetted by economic blackmail. The sky didn't fall after Meech Lake, in fact the dollar went up. After only two years of Mulron- ey in 1986 the dollar hit an all time low of 69 cents. Our feder- al deficit is heading to $450 bil- lion. In the past five years or so the Mulroney government has increased taxes 32 times. Onta- rio has faced 55 tax increases by the Peterson and Rae gov- ernments. Bill 8 Ontario's French Services Act has cost $400 million. A total of 87 tax increases. "Anatomy of a Deal" the CBC documentary on the deal quot- ed the Premier of P.E.I. as say- ing "Power is what it's all about". How true! The premiers from the rest of Canada were given a few crumbs while Que- bec got the lions share -- as usu- al. How much of the native deal was a snow job? More forked tongue, smoke and mirror tac- tics? More broken treaties? Mercredi is finding severe op- position from many native chiefs and native women. Na- tive promises will end up in the Supreme Court -- controlled by Quebec with one third of seats. Native rights in the past have taken about five years to get any response from Ottawa ac- cording to Mercredi - even to get a meeting. The natives have been once again duped by Mul- roney? Do they face another Oka to defend their rights? Wonder why Mulroney put the native clause near the top of the deal? Quebec separation has nothing to do with the vote! That can only be settled by a vote in Quebec. In fact Quebec nor any other province can sep- arate from the union of Cana- da. Not legally possible. A NO vote simply means the status quo - nothing will change, a moratorium on con- stitutional wrangling. A return to sanity and hopefully a new direction in the economy and saving Canadians from eco- nomic ruin. Jobs - not power ploy using loyal Canadians as pawns. Are Canadians becom- ing a nation of sheep led to the slaughter by a power-hungry Judas goat? Speak up Canadi- ans - a NO vote is a vote for Can- ada and the end of constitution- al wrangling. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill "Never in history have so many been taken in by so few." He did say those who do not learn from history will have toreliveit. Respectfully, Dean Kelly, Association of Dedicated Canadians. Voting yes October 26 To the Editor: I am writing in support of the Yes vote on October 26 and for what it is worth here is why. I haven't read the agreement. To understand it and its ramifi- cations would take more than reading; it would take study and probably some clarifica- tions by a legal expert. For ordi- nary lay people to pick out one or two objections they may have and base their "no" choice on that without getting a reason for the clause to which they ob- ject is a very trivial way to wreck a country. To defeat the whole agreement on the basis of one or two objectional clauses 18 comparable to throwing the baby out with the bath water. I am confident that with the ex- tensive consultation and debate our leaders and their advisors have given the text of this agreement and objections a lay person may raise has already been discussed and a compro- mising position reached. When 10 premiers, two terni- torial leaders, the chief aborigi- nal leader and our prime minis- ter reach a compromising consensus | am satisfied that is the best possible deal available for the whole country. That is particularly evident when our prime minister and all our pre- miers, regardless of their politi- cal affihation have set aside their partisan differences to hold this country together. That tells me that they have reached the best possible agreement. | trust their decision. Thats why [ am voting YES" on October 26.
