NDP candidate sets sights to ousting Tory Fennel WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDFIESDAY OCTOBER 26, 1983, PAGE 7 Whltby high sehool teacher Geoff Rison Is set to make his third at- tempt at a seat ln the House of Commons and he 18 beginnlng his cam- palgn wlth his sights set on local Tory MUP Scott Fenneil. Rison, who was ac- claimed the NDP can- diate for the Ontario ricling recently, said in an interview that Fen- neil le misusing column space granted to hlm by this newspaper, axnong others. "Instead. of reporting what the Tory party is doîng, he is. using the column as a' political stage ot attack the Liberal and NDP par- ties, 'i said Rison. Rison, the 51-year-old head of the geograpby department at Anderson Collegiate,i says that Fennell and the Tory party do flot make their policies clear. "Fennell always sits on both aides of the fen- ce. We intend to go Into the election making clear what our position la. We may wln or we may lose but we don't change our minds." Rison refuses to be discouraged after failing twlce te gain the federal seat. "The NDP candidate who ran in 1976 got 5,000 votes. The first time -I ran, I got 10,500 votes. The second time 1 ran, I got close te 13,000 votes. If I can increase my total by 3,000 the next thne, I could win." He believes that the two previous attempts have helped hlm become more organized and have given hlmn ex- posure. "Exposure is the name of the game," he said. "My job 18 to get squeezed in wherever I can 80 I can get my Point of view known. " He remains uncon- cerned that recent Gallup poils have shown the Tories te be the front runners in popularity. 1"The polis don't per- sonally concern me. There's a number of people stilI undecided on who they'll vote for,"' he saîd. "We're not prepared to make our polîcies through the Gallup poils. Ilison said recent statements by Whltby Mayor Bob Attersley that he may run for either a Liberal or Tory nomination should put to rest allegations by the Liberals that the Toies and NDP are "Bed par- tners."y "Attersley being un- decided about what par- ty te run for indicates the absolute absurdity of those allegations. It shows the similarities between the Tories and Liberals."' Rison concedes that the Tories wil likely win the next election, which he predicts wlll be held next fail. "As it looks now Mulroney will be in but who knows for sure. A day in politics is like an eternity. I predict it will be a minority' gover- nment."
