Visit G.F. aquatic

The acquatic centre proposed for the area will be going to

vote on October 15.

With a $2.2 million price tag on it, the aquatic centre will see
its fate decided by voters not only in Castlegar, but in regional
district electoral areas | and J as well.

With fine summer weather now upon us, we suggest district
residents consider weekend drives to Grand Forks where the aquatic
centre there can be viewed in operation.

As photographs published in this newspaper at fall ‘indicated,
that city’s aquatic centre is far more than just a swimming pool

surrounded by four walls.

It's a tremendous community asset in

which the people of Grand Forks take justifiable pride.
If the aquatic centre being proposed locally is anywhere near
as attractive and useful as is the one at Grand Forks, then a “yes”

voteon the

jerendum should be considered very, very seriously.

Planters great idea

The City of Castlegar,

in conjunction with the Castlegar

Development Board and the Castlegar Kiwanis Club, is reported to
be making progress on plans to have planters installed along Colum-

bia Avenue.

spoke to the Ephrata (Washington) Chamber of Commerce. Picking

One of the progressive merchants reponsible for changing the
tired old logging town of Leavenworth into a unique Bavarian attr-

Another secret: sell only quality merchandise. The men’s store

owner noted,

“It's just as easy to sell a $500 jacket as it is to sell a $25

He said the right customers

come to places where locals care about the town, its people and its

visitors.

Mr. Langlois urged shopowners and others to use the media to
keep reminding people of their town.

Finally, he told the merchants to support other businesses in
their own community. Refer customers to other local shops and when
one shopowner is having a rough time making ends meeet, buy

something from his store.

Actually, the Leavenworth businessman didn’t tell the mer-
chants of Ephrata anything new. He just reminded them of some of
the basic rules of conducting a business that any small shopowner
already knows, but maybe is neglecting

We all know that to be a success we must be friendly with our
customers, give them their moneys worth to keep them coming back,
provide a pleasant place for them to shop, and join in with our fellow
businessmen to promote our community and ourselves.

Maybe though, once in a while, we need to listen to an “out-
sider” like Chuck Langlois to remind us of the things we already
know. After all, home truths never hurt being repeated.

Elderly
forgotten

It appears that consideration for
the elderly is only how the govern-
ment wants it to be. There are many
areas not considered.

It is well that efforts are made to
keep the elderly in their own homes
where they are familiar with their
own surroundings. However, the
closing of the Robson-Castlegar ferry
is a heritage passed down from the
middle 20's, and is necessary for
those same persons who have homes
in Robson.

A senior citizen needing to take a
taxi will find the ‘cost prohibitive.
How unfair is the government
decision to close the ferry.

The traffic using the ferry requires
either the ferry or a bridge. The cost
of running the ferry would be
cheaper than the interest payments
on the cost of a bridge. I suggest that
to keep the ferry running that night
service be omitted.

Ferry must remain

Several days ago, as I made my
way from Castlegar to Robson by
way of the pedestrian route that
remains to us, the C.P,R. train
bridge, I passed a young girl of
perhaps 12 or 13 years of age in the
middle of the span.

Lost in thought, I did not pay much
attention as we approached each
other, but as we passed I glanced at
her and was troubled to see a look of
real fear on her face. Perhaps it was
the height of the bridge and the
condition of the walkway or perhaps
it was her vulnerability in an isolated
situation. In any case, she showed me
the human face of the arrogant and
obtuse decision by the provincial
cabinet to close the ferry.

On July 11, a member of the Ad
Hok Ferry Users Committee
received a letter from Howard Dirks,
Nelson-Creston MLA and now
“Secretary of State” for our area, in
which he reiterated the feeble
rationale for the governments’
decision with respect to the ferry as
though the last two months had not
happened.

In response to this, and mindful of
Mr. Dirks’ new found status in our
area, we hastened to once again try
to move Mr. Dirks from his insensi-
tive and ill-informed position.

We did so in no great hope of
persuading Mr. Dirks since two
months of effort had impressed Mr.
Dirks not at all, but in hope of

impressing upon him our determina-
tion not to give up.

Mr. Dirks, seemingly unable to
defend his position, fell back on the
argument that he was not being
approached in a reasonable manner.
In part, Mr. Dirks has been
approached repeatedly and early on
had a copy of the brief forwarded to
then — Highways Minister Stephen
Rogers on May 16.

That brief discussed the
disadvantages of the alternate routes
in detail, addressed the concern of
those residents without cars, the
elderly, handicapped, young people
and those on limited incomes. Our
relatively high unemployment rate
and other relevant economic Tacts
about our community were raised.
Concerns from the point of view of
police, ambulance and fire depart-
ment services were outlined in this
brief. The deteriorated condition of
the CPR train bridge walkway was
outlined in detail and with pictures.
Bus transportation and many other
issues were raised in this brief, all of
which went to the issue of the
importance of the ferry to our
community.

Attached to the brief were various
letters of support concerning the
ferry. The Castlegar and District
Development Board, which is not, I
believe, a nest-of anti-government
agitators, found fault with the

Dictatorship a
possibility

Today we have had almost 20
years of someone forcing French
down our throats supposedly in the
name of unity. This, of course, was
started in the Pearson years but en
forced by the Trudeau regime start
ing in 1968, with the intention of
making Canada a French speaking
only country, leading to a Communist
dictatorship.

When it was introduced, 80 per
cent of the Canadian people did not
want bilingualism. It was never open
to public opinion or discussion.
Trudeau had a majority government
and had no trouble making it into
law. To my knowledge, there was
little or no debate in Parliament as
Trudeau and his Liberals did not care
what the people wanted, bilingualism
was our fate.

The democratic thing to do was to
hold a referendum on the subject but
this was rejected by the Trudeau
regime.

The first thing Trudeau and his
Quebec followers did was to establish
a secret manifesto on how he and his
Quebec cohorts would make ada
into a French only speaking nation. It
would be called La Republique de
Canada. It was and has since been
referred to as the “Trudeau Master
Plan.”

Several well-documented books
were written on the Master Plan but
the best two were written by Com.
mander J.V. Andrew, a retired naval
officer, who spent around 10 years at
Military Security headquarters in
Ottawa. The books were entitled
“Bilingual Today, French Tomorrow”
and “Backdoor Bilingualism.”

The Master Plan outlines how
Trudeau would press French upon
Canadians step-by-step (Bill C-72 is
one of the steps), plus making all
armed forces French speaking. This
is now policy as anyone joining the
armed forces today must be bilin-
gual. If not, he must be willing to
take a test to see if he would be able
to learn French and be willing to
speak it when necessary. If he fails
the test or is not willing to speak
French, he cannot join the armed
forces.

If you want to join the RCMP, you
must be bilingual or willing to learn
French, or hold a university degree,
and only Quebec-born members of
the Force can now be transferred to
Ottawa. Most of the federal gov-
ernment civil servants across Canada
are already Quebecers. So the
squeeze to make Canada La Repub-
lique de Canada goes on.

The question may be asked: How
can any federal party declare Canada
a French-speaking nation? The an-
swer is that it’s very easy, and this is
what would happen:

If the federal government has a
problem with one of the provinces
over language rights or separation,
to the extent that there would be
civil disturbances, the War Measures
Act could be invoked. If this hap-
pened the Prime Minister could, and
would, turn Canada into a dictator-
ship, he being the dictator. This
situation could exist for years, as it
would be up to the dictator to decide
when it would revert to a democracy.
There would be no elections.

What I do not understand is why
our party leaders, Mulroney, Broad-
bent and Turner, are all so anxious,
in fact adamant, to implement the
Trudeau Master Plan. In my opinion,
not one of these three people can be
trusted as to their motives and not
one of them is fit to be our Prime
Minister.

I also think that Trudeau, Broad
bent, Mulroney and Turner are all
guilty of promoting treason, along
with every MP promoting the Tru-
deau Master Plan, and should be
charged with and tried for treason.
Bill C-72 which requires the Canadian
Armed Forces, the RCMP, crown
corporations and all federal civil ser-
vants to speak French is all part of
the Trudeau Plan.

When ile go to vote in the next
federal election, they should consider
these possibilities and vote for people
who are not opening a way to
possible dictatorship, and thence
Communism.

process used to close the ferry and
requested the Highways Task Force
of the Kootenay Development
Region be “requested to provide a
well-researched recommendation on
the future of the Castlegar-Robson
ferry.”

The Castlegar Chamber of
Commerce, also not known as rabidly
anti-government, provided two
letters which reinforced some of the
concerns outlined in the brief,
explained the concerns of the
business community and the tourist
industry and concluded by asking the
government to “reconsider your
options” and “keep the ferry open.”

Since the brief there have been
demonstrations, a round-the-clock
occupation of the ferry, countless
phone calls and letters and a great
dea! of work by prominent citizens on
both sides of the river to make
rational arguments for restoring the
ferry.

Mr. Dirks cannot, therefore, sus-
tain any credibility the tone of
outraged innocence which he
affected. The fact is that there has
never been a detailed response to the
rational arguments offered by the
people of this community just as
there was never any consultation
requested or thought given to the
original decision.

Mr. Dirks and others in the
provincial government have not
heard the last of the people of
Robson. We will not forget who stood
with us and who did not. I can only
express the hope that regional and
municipal levels of government will
not wilt in the face of the arrogance
of this unpopular and anti-democratic
administration and start running
around with their tails betgween
their legs.

Mr. Dirks must understand that he
has hitched his star to a sinking ship
and that those who are here for the
long run will not countenance the
traumatic amputation of various
segments of our community.

The Castlegar-Robson ferry must
remain on the agenda in future

iscussions of regional d
if we are not to succumb to the
bullying of Mr. Vander Zalm and his
cabinet of sycophants and cheer-
leaders.

Demand
funds

I have a suggestion which may
answer the Project Society’ juatic
centre fundraising needs. Let's apply
for funding from the Howard Dirks’
Santa Claus bag.

In the short time Mr. Dirks has
been in political office, his riding has
received (or will receive): $100,000
for a golf course (Santa dressed up in
his red suit for this one); $200,000 for
runway improvements (aren't
airports a federal matter?); $1,780
for the Nelson Community Services
Centre (of which he was once board
chairman); and a highway between
Grey Creek and Kimberly (an
essential service, no doubt).

As Minister of State for the
Kootenays, Howard Dirks is our
appointed regional economic

ive (what ever hi:
toM. L.A.’s). As such, I think he has a
duty to be concerned with Castle-
gar’s regional projects as well as
those of Nelson area.

Legal questions not answered

I courriered a letter to the
Premier, Attorney General and Min-
ister of Transportation and High-
ways on June 10, 1988.

I stated as a fact that it was the
recommendation of the Ministry of
Transportation and Highways that
service of the Robson-Castlegar ferry
be resumed through some form of
joint venture involving transit, re-
gional and local authorities, partially
funded b tolls.

In its decision to privatize the
ferry, our Cabinet refused to follow
its own Ministry's recommendations
— this from a government whieh

mittee. At that time, after extensive
negotiations and submissions, it was
acknowledged by the Ministry of
Transportation and Highways that
the ferry service constituted a vital
historical transportation link and
that the volume of traffic more than
justified its continued operation.
Although the daily ferry operation
hours were reduced from 24 hours to
18 hours in 1983, the annual usage
increased from 558,000 units trans-
ported in 1983/84 to 566,300 in
1986/87.

In reality, we see the very opposite
to be true. The naked, ugly truth is
that our Premier “has stripped his
ministries of decision-making author-
ity which is now vested within his
inner circle of power-brokers, some
unelected, to impose his will.

May the Robson-Castlegar ferry
become the symbol of the arbitrary

When one considers that the
annual operating costs of the ferry
for the fiscal year 1983 totalled
$217,000, one can only suggest to you
that to dismiss the ferry as a “mere
convenience” is to distort the impact
of this closure entirely out of any
context of reality. Aside from the
financial costs, I can assure you that
there are very real “social costs”

Capital Notebook

By GORDON GRANT

OTTAWA (CP) — The 45 minutes
of theatre known as question period
in the House of Commons cannot be
described as totally predictable.

Politicians frequently act out a
charade in which they make state-
ments clothed as questions, but the
tone and level of prose differs from
question to question.

For instance, International Trade
Minister John Crosbie recently re-
ferred to “a p babe.”

Told by another member that such
language was embarrassing, he
changed it to tmewling babe.”

Later, Crosbie moved his language

up a notch or two.

He said “Our prime minister was
described by Shakespeare in Mea-
sure for Measure: ‘He was ever
precise in promise-keeping.’ ”

Brian Tobin, a fellow Newfound-
lander, but a Liberal, countered with
Sir Walter Scott, quoting from
Marmion: “Oh, what a tangled web
we weave; When first we practice to
deceive!”

Speaker John Fraser said:
reminded of what Burns sai
wad some power the giftie gie
see ourselves as ithers see us!

Apparently deciding that Shakes-
peare, Scott and Burns were enough
for one afternoon, some honorable
members chimed in “Hear, hear.”

It’s not often that government
members request an Opposition
member to get involved in question

period, but soon after the Shakes-
peare, Scott, Burns quotations, Tor-
ies chanted “We want George. We
want George.”

The George referred to was none
other than George Baker, Liberal
member for the Newfoundland riding
of Gander-Twillingate, and one of the
best orators in the House.

Not only does he speak well and
question incisively, but he cloaks his
barbs with humor.

On this day, Crosbie had gone
through three rounds of questions
with members from Atlantic Canada
— Jack Harris, NDP member for St.
John's East, Bill Rompkey, Liberal
for Grand Falls-White Bay-Labrador,
and Brian Tobin, Liberal member for
Humber-Port au Port-St. Barbe.

Their questions were dripping
with rancor and Crowbie cronies
must have thought George would
inject some color.

Baker wandered- into the House
and figured the Tories were calling
for George Hees, minister of vet-
erans affairs, or George Minaker,
member for Winnipeg-Saint James.

Surely, he thought, they're not
calling for a Liberal.

Told by his seatmate that the
Tories wanted him to say something,
the gregarious George, waved,
smiled and promptly headed for the
nearest exit.

The city hasn't had its first
buskers festival yet and already
there have been complaints.

private sector, who is to bear liability
in respect of the operation of the
ferry and, perhaps more importantly,
in regard to the operation of the
traffic control signals which govern
the Highway traffic during the
loading and unloading operation.

The manner in which this issue has
been addressed has made it impos-
sible for any informed exchange of
information and ideas. I implore
officials to resume operation, at least
until such time as all of the affected
parties have been given the oppor-
tunity to sit down and try and work
out some acceptable solution other
than that which has been imposed by
the closure.

Concerned about
free trade

In 1983 Brian Mulroney said:

“Free trade affects Canadian Sov-
ereignty and we will have none of it,
not during leadership campaigns or
at any other time.”

Guess who said this?

“Bilateral free trade with the
United States is simplistic and naive.
It would only serve to further dimin-
ish our ability to compete interna-
tionally.”

Michael Wilson, during the Tory
leadership campaign, 1983.

Canadians believed Mulroney, Wil-
son and other Tories when they said
free trade was not on their agenda “if
elected.” That is why an election
must now be called on this proposal
which, if implemented, will radically
change the direction and quality of
life in our country.

In a democratic Canada, we surely
are entitled to get accurate infor-
mation in order to vote on such a
fundamental issue.

If implemented, our national
health and social programs will be
“harmonized” to nothing as the pres-
sure from the U.S. corporations
takes effect.

If implemented, the deal will mean
a massive shift of manufacturing and
service jobs to low wage areas in the
southern U.S. and northern Mexico.
All measures to ensure these indus-
tries locate in Canada will vanish.
Pressure to lower wages in remain-

ing industries will be enormous.

If implemented, use of our natural
resources, including our water, will
be controlled by the U.S. Any Can-
adian federal or provincial law to
prevent this will be over-ridden by a
clause in the deal. Similar U.S. laws
are not subject to the supremacy of
the agreement.

We will soon have in Canada even
more of a third world economy with a
few very wealthy hustlers at the top
and a majority living in poverty.

Asa top trade official in the Israeli
embassy in Washington, D.C. said in
October, 1987, after a detailed brief-
ing on the deal by U.S. trade officials:
“All in all, if someone puts together
what Canada gave up and what the
United States gave up, my own per-
sonal opinion is that the Canadians
gave up on hundred times more.”

If you are ¢oncerned about this
deal and want to learn more factual
details and to talk about your con-
cerns with others, please come to the
Nordic Hall on Wednesday, July 27
at 7:30 p.m. Nancy McRitchie, a
member of the “Coalition against
Free Trade” will present a video,
lead a discussion about how life here
in the Kootenays will be affected and
present suggestions for further edu-
cation and action.

Hope to see you there.
