¢2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, May 10, 1979 /CANDIDATES *79 A News/Mirror Pre-Election Feature % And although the Trudeau government has become a ‘whipping boy” the Liberal candidate for Kootenay West hopes to take part in formulating its policies after May 22. - “I've always found people generally bitching about the government,” he says. ‘It's a (superticial kind of comp! laining. The federal government's an object to complain cbout, W's .an easy target.” :. But the Liberals have demonstrated their ability to deal reaponsibly with the complexity of government, Kendall contends, in what he sees as “reasonable legislation, given the circumstances.” ., _ Explaining his conversion to the Liberal fold, he says he joined the NDP because he initially thought it represented the principles of sharing on which he had based his own lifestyle, but he discovered members of that party had “little respect for other points “The attitude of the NDP is so combative, pugnacious and simple-minded,” he explains. “It’s as though the problems of government are simple matters that would be solved if they were in power and it's just because they're not in power that they're not solved.” “T can't argue for business and the needs of business and the promotion of business and private enterprise with many NDP members,” he continues. “They're not multi-dimensioned thinkers, They're not indepen- dent and their attachment to the unions is very disturbing.” Labor unions, he says, are not self-critical, and the NDP is not very critical of itself.

On the other hand,+ the Liberal party encompasses a . wide spectrum of viewpoints, according to Kendall. “You don’t get asked to leave the room if you bring out a. far-left point of view or a far-right one,” he says. “What you do have is an interesting . discussion, You can talk to these people. They don't insist that they have the answer and they have absolutely firra, poli- cies and that's the way,it must "Under Liberal polley, he » says, the “quick answers” pro- posed by both the NDP and the Progressive Conservatives are not to be trusted. “They're pap for: babies’ brains,” he says, “The problem — and maybe :I'm insultiig people by saying this — is very. large. It’s international, it’s enormously complex and the only way it will get anywhere is by paying attention to It.” “Its ‘not clear what. the best way, is. I've talked to ‘economists and there's not a bloody one of them who says there is one way to handle the economy ‘now that's not being done. All of them are, saying we've never been in situations like: this before, it’s not clear whether we. should increase - government spending or wheth- er. to decrease government spending and put money back into ‘the pockets of the people. ‘These simple answers the NDP or Joe Clark come up with are just that.” He agrees the mistrust of simple answers has contributed to the popular impression that tHe government lacks direction. - “I would think that from . the outside it, does, because people aren't making definite,’ * decisive stands that are drama- tie all the time in the Liberal Party," he says. “Because thoy will respond to popular move- ments and they'll pay attention to other arguments it looks as though they're’ waffling, as though they're trying to stay in - power rather than a way to serve the people's interests.” “But whon I took at the number of programs the Liber- ° al government has introduced, ts social safety net throug! hich noone should fall while i the other hand, I would th the.

Costs $23,400 To Rebuild : Average Car “The cost of replacing all the parts of a totally demolish- ed car has soared to more than four times the price of the car when it was new, according to an insurance industry study. The Alliance of American Thsurers has determined that it cost $23,400 to replace all the parts of a $5,097 car that was “totalled”*in an accident. At that rate, it would cost $5,850 — $753 more than the original price of the 1978 Chevy . Impala that was used for the study — to repair one-quarter af its parts, and $234 to repair qne per cent of the parts.
