FOR MULRONEY
Dream comes true

By LESLIE SHEPHERD
By The Canadian Press

Brian Mulroney’s boyhood dream came true Tuesday
when his Conservatives swept to their largest victory in
history.

But when the champagne corks stop popping, the Tory
leader’s problems may be just beginning.

Before he can be sworn in as prime minister Mulroney
has a delicate juggling act — what to do with 211 MPs when
there aren’t even enough desks, or jobs, for them all.

“So sweeping is this expression of confidence that I'm
genuinely torn between two feelings — the first, the deep
sense of gratitude toward the Canadian electorate who have
given me this historic-opportunity to serve,’’ Mulroney
admitted tm his home town of Baie Comeau, Que.

“"The.second is the enormieus-responsibility with which
we have been éntrusted."”

Malroney will have only about 30 cabinet posts to parcel

And, after fulfilling his promise to paint Quebec blue,
Mulroney will need all the street smarts he learned growing
up in working class Baie Comeau to interpret the aspirations
of a record number of Conservaitve francophones for his
predominantly English caucus.

SWEPT COUNTRY

Mulroney's Tories swept all regions of the country as
they shattered Diefenbaker’s record of electing 208 MPs and
were assured of a majority government even before the polls
had closed in Manitoba.

Final results in the 282-seat Commons saw 211 Tories
elected, 40 Liberals, 30 New Democrats and one Independent.

For Prime Minister Turner, once dubbed the ‘‘Liberal
dream in motion’’, the only saving grace from an election
nightmare was his personal victory in Vancouver Quadra.

Turner, one of only two Liberals elected west of Ontario,
will have second shortest term in office of any prime
minister. Sir Charles Tupper governed for only 69 days in
1896. Today is Turner’s 68th day at the nation’s helm.

NOP incumbent le Kristiansen
medio at end @ tong night

When he returns to Parlisinerit as opposition leader,
Turner will find behind him the sqpaliost Liberel copcus since
Confederation.

The Tory tide drowned 15 Liberal cabinet ministers along
with party president Iona Campagnolo and swamped about
100 ridings held in the last Parliament.

Energy Minister Geral Regan in Halifax was one of the
first to go but was soon joined by Consumer Affairs Minister
Judy Erola, Employment Minister John Roberts, Internat-
ional Trade Minister Francis Fox and Secretary of State Serge
Joyal.

“The people of Canada from coast to coast have spoken
and the people are always right,"’ Turner said as he conceded
defeat and thanked his Vancouver Quadra constituents for
backingthe national trend. a .

But he pledged to remain as tendyy “‘yad together we ure
going to rebuild the Liberal party.

Mulroney, who won his Quebec seat of Manicouagan by
more than 20,000 votes, said moments later: ‘‘The country as
a whole has opted for the Progressive Conservative party.”’

Mulroney promised his , which aides say will
be sworn in Sept. 17, will ‘‘put Canada back to work."’

The highest priority will be placed on rebuilding the
economy, while also improving national unity, promoting
equality of women and pursuing world peace.

Only two incumbent Conservatives were defeated — Bill
Clarke in Vancouver Quadra and John Gamble, arch-Con-
servative who ran as a longshot against Mulroney for the
party’s leadership last year.

Gamble was defeated in Toronto's York North riding by
Independent Tony Roman, who has sald he's open to offers to

part of the night for the right to call themselves the Official
Opposition.

However, New Democrat leader Ed Broadbent vowed his
party would act as if it were the second largest party in the
Commons and would continue is eampaign theme to fight on
behalf of ‘‘ordinary Canadians.”

E

which saw bi

the Liberals were leading in just a few more
NDP. Some, TV pundits were even contemplating an NDP
opposition. *

The big question left was whether Liberal leader John
Turner himself would go down to persona! defeat in his =
riding of Vancouver Quadra. But Turner's win noticeably
revived the spirits of the small gatherings, and the talk
turned from commiseration over this year's loss to building
for the next federal election.

Turnbull, thanking her campaign workers, urged them

“Tve gotta be tougher

“It's not the happiest Liberal night by any means,” she
said, “People wanted a but not a change for; a
change against,” she said to the crowd which had now grown
to about 80.

Before Turnbull went to personally congratulate
Kooteftay West winner Bob Brisco, she told the Castlegar
News that she hoped he could produce some “clear-cut
definitive programs for job creation” in this area and also
work to proteet the university of social programs.

_ She also wondered whether Mulroney can reconcile his

election, she said, not any otie incident like the pacroneat
issue. Turnbull said ‘the Liberal campaign and Turner’
write cur pking sp titk ton wask ef tho campeign. sed
that more campaign time would have made « crucial differ-
ence in the election cesults.

She still supports Turner as ‘the Liberal leadér
“absolutely”. “He has shown enormous courage,” she said. “T
respect his honesty and integrity.”

Sreeet Tr:

A VANCOUVER SUN photo feature Saturday
described Chemainus, the one-time booming sawmill
town on Vancouver Island, as a communit; hat is saving
its dying economy by turning itself into a tourist
attraction.”

The way it is doing this is by painting huge wall
murals on its private and publicly-owned buildings.

Richard Maddocks, a member of the Castlegar
Economic Development Committee and the Castlegar
Industrial Commission, visited Chemainus with his wife,
Louise, and their children and brought back a number of
photos.

“It's fantastic,” he says. “Terrific.”

An item of local interest is the fact that a
Castlegar-raised artist, Dan Sawatzky (whose works
were featured at the 1983 Castlegar Trade Fair), was
commissioned to paint his version of a 1917 company
store on the wall of the B.C. Telephone building.

The 30-year-old Sawatzky says he was “very
skeptical about this mural business at first. . .I thought I
would just paint the mural, grab the money and run.”

Instead, Sawatzky became so impressed by
Chemainus and the support of its residents that he has
since moved from Abbotsford to the community and now
runs his own art gallery there.
