re Castlégar News _wiy 5.1909 Court injunction to stop abortion TORONTO (CP) — A man won a court injunction Tuesday stopping his girlfriend from having an abortion anywhere in Ontario, but an abortion Spokesman says the case is not an im- portant victory for anti-abortion for- ces. think it’s an isolated incident and won't have much impact,"’ Dr. Henry Morgentaler said from his Toronto abortion cfinic But the man’s lawyer, Angela Costigan, said the case is important because the Supreme Court of Ontario ranted the fetus protection, which could be used to argue the unborn have rights under the Charter of Rights ond in. future ‘cases. Mr. Justice John O" Driscoll granted the injunction preventing the 22-year- old Toronto woman, who is 14-weeks pregnant, from having an abortion. Her 24-year-old Whitby, Ont., boyfriend argued the two planned the pregnancy. The couple, who are hearing im- paired, met last September and agreed in February to have a child together, the father said in an affidavit. But in June, the man .said the woman, who had two previous abor- tions from pregnancies with another man, began talking about aborting the fetus, “The child is a wanted child,’’ the man said in the affidavit. ‘1 and my child will suffer irreparable damage if the injunction is not granted.” Strike notice served KAMLOOPS (CP) — Management must withdraw proposals for con: cessions or the Highland Valley copper mine will be struck by the end of the week, the United Steelworkers Union said Tuesday. The 1,300-member union served 72. hour-strike notice Monday after con tract negotiations broke off. The con tract expired June 30, “If we don’t get any response, we are certainly going to follow through,” said union president Richard Boyce. Rod Killough, Highland Valley in- dustrial relations manager, was not available for comment Tuesday The union is not prepared to discuss company concessions after accepting cuts for the last eight years when the industry was suffering from poor cop- per makets, Boyce said **Times are better now in the copper industry than they have ever been,” he said. Copper prices have doubled since the last contract was settled three years ago. Highland Valley is one of the largest open pit copper mines in the world, processing 135,000 tonnes of ore daily. Tory policies will boost economy, Wilson says By ROB CARRICK TORONTO (CP) — Canada’s economy will get a five- per-cent boost beginning in 1991 because of the federal government's trade and tax policies, Finance Minister Michael Wilson says. —“Sales tax reform, together with the Canada-U.S. free-trade agreement, will raise the level of real GDP (gross domestic product) in the Canadian economy by ap- proximately five per cent on an ongoing basis,"’ he told a business group Tuesday. Wilson said such an increase would be the equivalent of adding roughly seven times the output of the entire forestry sector In a wide-ranging luncheon speech selling Tory economic policy, Wilson said the current federal sales tax system takes as much as $9 billion out of the Canadian economy by making it more expensive to produce goods and services. “By making everything more expensive to produce, the current tax reduces the incentive to invest and con- strains the national economic outlook,’’ Wilson told mem- bers of the Toronto Waterfront Council. On Jan. 1, 1991, the federal government plans to in- troduce a nine-per-cent tax to be applied on most goods and services. Exceptions include basic groceries, prescription drugs, residential rent andday care. The new tax replaces the current federal sales tax, a hidden levy set at 13.5 per cent on many manufactured d 11 percent on vices. LATER RELEASE The government had been scheduled to release a technical paper on sales-tax reform last week. Wilson said Ww he sy ‘ — a ae ANN WI ae ONE STEP AT A TIME Cory Westscott takes a few cautious steps as he crosses the Zuckerberg Island suspended bridge. He was out enjoying today's sunshine with s! Crystal and sitter Marcie Silva. —cossiews photo by Guy Bertvond only that the paper will later He also repeated a government promise that the reform will ease the tax burden on low and middle-income families by directing revenue generated by the new sales tax to them in the form of tax credits. “Our goal is to ensure that families earning less than $30,000 per year will be better off as a result of the im- plementation of sales tax reform,” he said. Wilson’ s speech also touched on the Bank of Canada’s high-interest-rate policy, which he said still has not met its goal of stifling inflation. The five-per-cent inflation rate reached in May would mean a doubling in prices every 14 years, halving the value of investments and savings, he noted Following his speech, Wilson brushed aside an ac- cusation Tuesday by the Council of Canadians, a group opposed to the free-trade deal, that the loss of 33,000 jobs in Canada this year can be linked to the free-trade deal. “‘] think they are ignoring the number of jobs that have been created during that period by people who are investing more money because of the free-trade agreement,’ said Wilson: By HELEN BRANSWELL OTTAWA (CP) — Cable television subscribers across Canada will subsidize a French-language all-news channel if Tuesday's application to the Canadian and Ti c if approved. The CBC is applying for a French all-news channel licence and to subsidize the venture they are planning to charge more than needed for an English channel. Op- ponents called that everything from undemocratic to a threat to the CBC’ regular programming, The CRTC, which has already licenced the English all-news channel, is not expected to release a decision on the French channel for several months. Charging higher-than-needed rates for the new English service is the only way the CBC can raise enough money to run a French-language equivalent, CBC president Pierre Juneau told the panel of three CRTC commissioners. “In blunt terms, if some forms of financial inter- dependency is not sanctioned, it will not be possible to sustain the proposed French-language service,” said John Shewbridge, vice-president of planning. The channels would be avilable as part of the basic cable package, although each cable company has the right to decide whether to offer either, neither or both. Newsworld is scheduled to hit the airwaves July 31 and will be offered free until Sept. 1. The French service would follow a year later WANT FRENCH SERVICE When Newsworth was first licensed by the CRTC, the federal TV and radio regulator asked the CBC to Cable subscribers may pay for French channel look at the possibility of offering a similar service in French. The CRTC also suggested a graduating rate schedule for Newsworld, based on the number of sub- scribers the service attracts. The top of the scale was 42.5 cents a month. And though CBC expects to draw enough subscribers, to charge a much lower rate — 29.5 cents a month — it wants to charge the top rate so it can plow the extra money into the French service. The rate would rise to $4 cents a month by 1994. But people have written to the CRTC to complain about the idea of having to pay for a service they don’t want Delta Cable Television Ltd., of Delta, predicted “subscribers would in fact resent the imposition of either or both services when they realize they are paying asubsidy.”” The Canadian Cable Television Association said it supports in principle the idea of cross-subsidization, but thinks 42.5 cents a month is too expensive. President Michael Hind-Smith said the com- mission should limit the cost of the package to 40 cents a month. The Canadian Association of Broadcasters questioned whether the CBC should embark on new while facing a $140-million budget cut over the neXt few years. “This is certainly not the time for CBC to be put- ting any of its already strained resources into a service which does not enhance CBC’s role in the foundation of the broadcasting system,”’ said president Michael Mc- Cabe. Canada Post sets sights on competition OTTAWA (CP) — Canada Post, buoyant after registering a $96-million profit last year, is introducing a series of new services designed to stamp out its competition. CTV news reported Tuesday that eight new services to be announced today include same-day local mail delivery, two-day national delivery and Sunday night home delivery. Other new services include special- mail envelopes, envelopes with colored graphic designs to mark birthdays and special occasions and a new ‘“‘security mail’ system to replace registered mail. CTV said post office officials claim 95 per cent of the new services will cost less than those they are replacing, with profits from volume on the remaining five per cent expected to cover the costs. It was not clear which current ser- vices will be replaced. Several of the new services, CTV said, are obviously priced to snag paft of the $1-billion-a-year market now controlled by private courier services. For example, same-day local delivery will cost $1.95; two-day delivery anywhere in Canada will cost $2.45. And, say Canada Post officials, those services come with a money-back guatantee. “You simply call us and advise us that we have not lived up to your ex- pectations, and we'll provide you with a free replacement product,” said Canada Post spokesman Bill Feigehen. Officials of Canada Post unions are suspicious, fearing the new services will lead to a workforce reduction and are a step towards complete privatization of the federal Crown corporation. “Workers will be affected; there will be some job loss,” warned Darrel Tingly, vice-president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. “If they withdraw the existing services, as we are led to believe they’re ‘going to, then Canadians are not going to get a better service.” Dealer convicted VANCOUVER (CP) — A Toronto man disappeared after being charged with trafficking in narcotics has been sentenced in absentia to 14 years in prison. Tourist alert VANCOUVER (CP) — Tourist Alert issued Tuesday by the RCMP. The following persons, believed travelling in British Columbia, are asked to call the person named for an urgent personal message: Norman Ostlund, Hope, call Jim Ostlund Robert Lang, Langley, call Lorraine PP Gilbert Custeau, of Montreal, call Lise Villancourt or Marielle Dufresne Bernadette Ross and Linda Gillat, Australia, call home Lance and Judy Mitchell, Surrey, call Paulette Campbell Lloyd Ranson, Regina, call Ross Stringer Carlos Somma, 48, operator of a drycleaning chain based in Toronto, was “‘certainly the major actor’’ in the plot, county court Judge Stephen Hardinge said Monday. Somma disappeared after he was released on $50,000 bail when he was arrested last summer Ricardo Cordoba, a South American businessman Hardinge called a ‘‘minor actor’’ in the scheme to import 6.5 kilograms of cocaine valued at $1 million into Canada, was sentenced to two years less aday. Cordoba had been held in custody since he was arrested in a parking lot as the drugs were being handed over. A jury convicted Somma of three counts of conspiring to import and traffic in cocaine between South America and Vancouver between July 28 and August 28, 1988 The jury found Cordoba guilty of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking during the same period In pre-sentence submissions, Crown counsel Anne MacKenzie said Somma told an informant he had done nine previous drug deals but never per- sonally touched cocaine. He was “‘high enough on the totem pole’’ to pay a $23,700 courier fee to Cordoba, who played a more limited role in delivering the drugs to Somma to be carried back to Eastern Canada, MacKenzie said In memory Lottery numbers Loophole to close REGINA (CP) — The Saskat- chewan government is closing a loophole in the provincial Human Rights Code that allowed a Saskatoon student newspaper to escape punish- ment for publishing sexist articles. Eye, published, by the University of Saskatchewan Engineering Students Society, did not contravene the code when it published articles that degraded women. — A 1984 Saskatchewan Human A bill in the legi Tuesday will tighten hate literature provisions in the code to prohibit publication of discriminatory articles or statements. The existing language in the code forbids the publication of any ‘‘notice, sign, symbol, emblem, or other representation” that exposes a group of people to hatred or ridicule. But the omission of articles and statements on that list meant the Red Rights C board of inquiry found the Red Eye broke provincial human rights laws, but that ruling was overturned by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal. The appeal court said that while the articles were an affront to the dignity of women, they did not offend Section T4 of the code. “It is not for us to say why the legislature chose to limit the scope of the section, but limit it it did, and we must respect that,"’ the court stated at the time. The commission tried to appeal that decision to the Supreme Court of Canada, but the court refused to hear the case. Before resigning as chief com- missioner this spring Ron Kruzeniski urged the government to close the loophole relied upon by the Red Eye lawyers. “It seems unreasonable to allow a human rights commission to deal with the effects of racist or sexist attitudes, ‘and yet nor allow ther to prevent the spread of those attitudes,’’ Kruzeniski wrote in the commission's 1988 annual report.
