March 26, 1986 Wilson gets tough with critics leadership in 1983, had been seen for years as earnest, By ALAN BASS OTTAWA (CP) Finance Minister Michael Wilson stood at his Commons seat, rose to his six-foot-three height, looked Liberal Leader John Turner in the eye and aimed straight for the jugular. “The leader of the Opposition is so good with his advice, perhaps he could tell us why, so his friends on Wall Street will know, in the first two or three weeks of his leadership campaign he started talking about the deficit, then his handlers slapped him around and told him never to mention that again and he has not had the courage to rise in the House since then to talk about the deficit.” After seven years in politics and 18 months in government, meet the new Michael Wilson. Wilson, 48, clobbered when he ran for the Conservative "RENT-A-BOBCAI (With Operator) industrious, naive and bland. “He's like Clark Kent going into a phone booth — only he's still Clark Kent when he comes out,” a Tory MP once said of Wilson.” Wilson was pretty easy pickings for the opposition after his first budget proposed de-indexing old age pensions. But this time around, despite big tax increases in his Feb. 26 budget and a weak Canadian dollar, Wilson hasn't had much trouble fending off opposition attacks. In fact, he seems to be enjoying the battle. Wilson's thinking hasn't changed since his May 1985 budget. He's still saying the same thing — that the deficit must be cut and everyone has to pay. It's the way he's saying it that’s different. New low-income housing idea touted ST. CATHARINES, ONT.

Jim Rice told participants at a housing conference that such housing might not only be a dream come true for the poor family, but neighbors would approve because the renovations would increase their property value. While the idea may seem unorthodox and the every third-house example was an exaggeration, Rice said the process — which he calls nat ural integration — can work. Government sponsored housing projects often force people to live in a certain unit of a specific building — one which may be isolated from other neighborhoods and dis- located from social services such as schools, libraries, health or recreational facil- ities, he said. “People hate being told where to live,” Rice told about 100 people attending the conference. But given a choice, they will develop a sense of res ponsibility towards both their house and the neigh. borhood, he said. And would. be neighbors are not hostile towards natural integration GOOD NEIGHBORS In questionnaires distri buted in Hamilton neigh borhoods where integration has been used, people res ponded by describing the new residents as “ neighbors,” Rice said. Also, the neighbors are not asking “Why do-I spend my tax dollars (in my house) and then spend more tax dollars to put low-income families in a brand new unit?” he said. In some cases, integration has meant the “neighborhood eye-sore™ is transformed into an attractive building while © the stigma of grouping low income people in one location is removed. In the past, Wilson responded to criticism by pouring out statistics in a slow-as monotone. Now he modulates his voice a little, talks faster, uses shorter sentences and punchier language, is much more partisan and even throws in a bit of sarcasm to cut the ground from beneath his critics. i ‘MORE CONFIDENT “He's certainly more aggressive and seems to be much more sure of himself, more confident,” concedes NDP finance critic Nelson Riis, “He looks more aggressive than before,” adds Liberal finance critie Raymond Garneau. “Maybe he is becoming more of a politician.” Riis figures Wilson's new style reflects his confidence as ee ee ee CLINT SHOOTS FOR MAYOR'S JOB By STEVE WILSTEIN CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, CALIF. (AP) biggest little mayor’s race in the United swing, and actor Clint Eastwood is campaigning door to door, unarmed, smiling and talking more than he ever does in his films. The world’s top box office star, the fast-shooting hero of westerns and Dirty Harry detective flicks, also is hitting the coffee klateh circuit, chatting softly over fine china and lace doilies.

But there may well INTRODUCING A NEW TAX He's hitting on the big issues: public toilets, parking, water shortages and the “negativity” of incumbent Mayor Charlotte Townsend toward business people and development in this tourist magnet. “There have been hundreds of people who have been sent away in tears or in shambles due to the cruelty of this administration,” Eastwood said. “I want to bring this community together.” The election isn't until April 8, but Townsend, 62, says she's already “tired and resentful” because she's prevented from doing her work by calls from reporters around the world, including some who want to leave messages for Eastwood. Female tourists press against Eastwood in the street and in restaurants, begging for kisses. Television crews and reporters follow him. Even in the comics, Doonesbury's Joanie Caucus dreams about him There aren't many babies to kiss. Most folks are retired or semi-retired, like the grey-haired 55-year-old Eastwood. He hasn't made a film in more than a year and says he “may make one down the line.” JOB TOP PRIORITY Much to the dismay of his agent, Eastwood says the time-consuming $200-a-month mayor's job “is my top priority and I'll spend as much time on the job as it takes.” The man Newsweek magazine called an “American icon” is just another Monterey Peninsula multimillionaire who likes to play golf at Pebble Beach and drink beer with friends at his Hog’s Breath Inn or Bud's Pub in Carmel. He speaks as softly in person as he does in the movies, but he doesn't conceal his anger about the five-member city council, led by Townsend. “The old Sicilian saying, ‘It rots from the head,’ is true,” Eastwood said, sounding a little more in character = JIN a true believer who has been given the go-ahead to put his ideas into action. “He's on a mission — a Tory-right wing Conserva tive-Michael-Wilson-financier Bay Street mission,” Riis said “He's finally launched it and he's even got (Prime Minister Brian) Mulroney on side. “I think he's feeling pretty good because he's a real Tory and he’s now brought in the nearest thing to a real Tory budget that we've seen so far. He's anticipating that with the chance of cutting social programs the next round, he'll have completed his mission.” Garneau, however, says Wilson's new style is partly the result of experience and partly because the budget's oil price and interest rate forecasts are so far off the mark he has painted himself into a corner. toilets parking and water shortages for a moment during an interview outside City Hall “One of the things I am against in this administration is the negativi he said. “It's the kind that breeds the great ice cream flap and makes the city an international joke. It's the kind of publicity that has the Los Angeles Times writing ‘Scrooge City’ articles on Carmel.” The village of 4,825 residents south of San Francisco refused to allow an ice cream shop because of concerns about water usage, litter, toilets and parking. It has strict rules about signs, awnings and paint colors. Paul Laub, a T-shirt shop owner also running for mayor, said the city “tried to get me for criminal Christmas tree lighting” when he put up lights too early Carmel has long been regarded as one of the jewels of the California coast, filled with charming houses, charming shops and people who cherish privacy It has been the home of photographers Edward Weston and Ansel Adams. Charlie Chaplin used to visit. Salvador Dali painted here. Eastwood moved in 14 years ago and lives with his two teenagers in a house across town from actress Kim Novak. Townsend, seeking her third two-year term, says Eastwood, Laub and others running against her and two incumbent council members represent business interests, not residents. “I'm against what they call progress,” said Townsend, a former librarian, recreation director and journalist.“If Clint Eastwood is elected, the first thing that will happen is tourism will increase, much to the sorrow of our residents.” ei i NE AAS RAAT MAEM ee ANGLICAN CHURCH 1401 Columbia Ave. Sunday Services 8:00 a.m. & 10:00 a.m Sunday School 10 a.m Robson Church 2nd and 4th Sundays 2 = . @)3\@ee Suzuki Wil cor | UTGeS ON FELLOWSHIP . skeptics (A.C.0.P.)
