In part the story reads: “Some believe that subsi- dies to businesses are neces- sary for the economic well-be- ing of the country. But, is gov- ernment tinkering in the mar- ket place producing the de- sired results? Governments around the world having suffered the deadly consequences of this in- terference are fleeing from it. Yet Canadian governments are accelerating this activity through grants, loans and loan guarantees.” Two who say subsidies to businesses must stop are a couple of gentlemen named Macdonald and Wattier. Mac- donald is the Chief Executive Officer of MacDon Industries, a Winnipeg agriculture ma- chine manufacturer, and Wat- tier is the President of the MacDon Employees Associa- tion. A while back, they ran an ad in their local newspaper.

MacDon now employs 400 workers. In 1971, they turing Inc. for the purpose of acquiring the facilities of Vicon Industries in Portage La Prairie. In other words, one of their competitors. MacDon said the $500,000 loaned to their new competitor is a small amount compared to the millions of dollars govern- ments have already poured in- to Vicon and it’s predecessor Co-op Implements, in a vain effort to keep the ployed 50. As well, Macd has recently invested approxi- mately $5 million to upgrade their facilities and equipment. They’ve accepted the risks of the agricultural industry, and say the market place should determine who stays and who goes, thus explaining why they’ve made such a sub- stantial effort to remain com- petitive. Now they’re growing increasingly frustrated by the Avege afloat. Macdonald and Wattier wanted to tell the story from the other side of the fence; as a company that is trying to sur- vive in tough economic times, and, as a company that’s try- ing to survive when the gov- gover 8 inter- ference through it’s bailout of failing companies and com- petitors. In their newspaper ad, MacDon said, “We cannot compete with the government, and if you continue to interfere in the market place by bailing ernment is subsidizing their competitors. Hence, the ad. In it’s 20 years of existence, the size of MacDon’s facilities have increased from 45,000 out those who fail, there will likely, in time, be no one left in the farm equipment industry except those the government must support.” The Royal Canadian Legion BRANCH 170 IN THE LOUNGE DANCE TO "SUNDOWN" FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20 — 8 P.M.
