Close highway

A visit to the Cape Horn section of Highway 6, about 10

kilometers north of Slocan City, reaffirms the immensity of the
highway improvement project there

Closed by a slide a couple of weeks ago, it will be quite some

time before the road is again open to vehicular traffic.

But should it reopen?
No. It should remain closed until the present $1 million-plus

Project is completed, and then further closure should be seriously
considered during the next phase of construction

The “Fix Six” campaign of area residents has been very

successtul in heightening public awareness of the highway and its
deplorable bottle-neck south of Silverton. The regional highways
fesource committee established by Howard Dirks, Minister of State
for_the-Kootenays, chose it as the No. 1 highway priority in the
fegion.

Area residents and scores of commercial and industrial users

(such as chip and logging trucks) would be greatly inconvenienced by
such planned closures, but better that than possibly frequent nature-
id

caused closures

that result in unexpected inconvenience an

expense for indeterminable periods of time

Mail still gets through

Canada Post comes under a lot of fire, but as has been

commented before on this page, not everything it does is wrong by a
long shot.

Take the present closure of Highway 6 north of Slocan City as an

example.

In spite of the closure, Canada Post is maintaining the same

schedule of mail service to residents of the lower valley while
providing alternate service (through Nelson and Kaslo) for Silverton,
New Denver and Nakusp

It’s nice to know that in spite of sleet, snow and hail — and road
closures — the mail still gets through.

Free trade a threat?

It’s election hysteria time.

When I started this series on
free-trade a month ago, a common
complaint from Castlegar News
readers was that they didn't know
enough about the Canada-U.S.
free-trade agreement.

Since then, free trade has moved
from the back to the front burner
and the heat has been turned up a
couple of notches. Unfortunately,
we've seen more hot air generated
than anything else.

The point at which free trade
became the focus of the federal
election campaign can be traced
directly to Prime Minister Brian
Mulroney's poor defence of the

agreement in the national tele Norman
vision debate (largely due to

Liberal leader John Turner's persistent and aggressive attack).

The result was that Canadians became less confused about how
they felt about the deal. For the Tories that was a disaster. Instead of
understanding the agreement, appreciating its strengths and
supporting it, Canadians have done the exact opposite They have
seen its disadvantages and turned thumbs down on the pact.

The debate crystallized the issue in the election for all three
major political parties. The Tories realized free trade was a bigger
issue than they had thought; the New Democrats suddenly shifted
their emphasis from leader Ed Broadbent to free trade; and the
Liberals woke up to the fact that John Turner was onto something.

But in the rush to defend or attack the pact, the political parties
and their supporters have taken to making wild statements.

Anti-free traders say the pact will spell the end of our social
programs; not just medicare, but old age pensions and unemployment
insurance, even though those items aren't even mentioned in the
agreement.

Free-trade proponents have adopted a similar doom and gloom
approach, warning that terrible things will come from scrapping the
agreement — tens of thousands of jobs will be lost, the dollar will
plummet to around 70 cents and interest rates will rocket through the
20 per cent range again.

Hold it! Let's get back to reality. The free-trade pact actually
deals with only 20 per cent of our trade with the U.S. (as I mentioned
in the first column in this series).

The question that we must ask ourselves is whether the
free-trade agreement is worth this 20 per cent of our trade with the
U.S.? Or is the price too high?

I feel the price is too high simply in our agreeing to guarantee the
Americans a portion of our energy at domestic prices. But there are
other reasons I can't support the deal.

While I don't fear our old age pensions and unemployment
insurance will come under attack from the U.S., I believe that our
medical services could change.

The pressure to privatize Canadian health services is already
great. Last year Premier Bill Vander Zalm suggested the province
might move to a two-tier health care system, with private hospitals
built for those British Columbians who could afford to pay for the
services. Vander Zalm even discussed such a system with U.S. health
care officials.

In an Aug. 28 article in the Globe and Mail, Dr. John O'Brien-Bell,
the past-president of the Canadian Medical Association, warned of the
two-tier system. He said a patient can go to the Gimbel Eye Centre in
Calgary for a cataract operation, pay a facility fee of $900 and obtain
the operation within a week. A patient without the money can spend
six months oh a public hospital waiting list.

Under the free-trade agreement, U.S. health care companies will
be permitted to manage general hospitals, homes for the physically
disabled, ambulance services, Public health clinics and medical
laboratories, bringing with them their U.S. approach to medical care.

Even Kootenay West Conservative incumbent Bob Briseo has
recognized the possibility. However, Brisco suggested in an interview
that Canadians, given a choice, would select a publically-run hospital
over a privately-operated hospital.

I say they would if they didn’t have the money. But those who

had the money would — like at the Gimbel Eye Centre in Calgary —
skip the lengthy wait and pay the fee for special care at the private »
hospital

In such a case, I can see the erosion of our current medical
system.

Letters to the editor

Don't fear free trade

Kootenay West Conservative in-
cumbent Bob Brisco is doing a good
job of explaining the free-trade
agreement here, but there are people
going around frightening people into
not voting for him. Bob has done an
excellent job for us in the Kootenays.
In the four years he has been in he
has managed to’ increase federal
funding to $120 million, up from the
$9.8 million the previous NDP MP
managed to get. Bob has proved, just
as Howard Dirks our provincial
representative has proved, that you
certainly get more help with a
representative who is working with
the government in power than you do
with one who works against it. It is
obvious that the Conservatives will
win the election in Canada. Let's
make sure we are on the winning side
by voting for our hard-working MP
Bob Brisco.

Recently, a cartoon-type booklet
was delivered to many people with
their newspapers. It is quite enter-
taining, but chalk full of misinfor.
mation and some downright lies. It is
an example of some of the propagan
da being peddled by those that want
to mislead us into voting against our
government. If anyone has concerns
about free trade check the facts out
at the toll-free government number
in Ottawa (1-800-267-8527). For other
concerns call toll-free to your local
MP's office. It costs nothing but a
little time. Don't find out too late that
you were fooled by those who have
not told the truth. Some of the major
things I have checked out do a great
deal to ease the fears. I will share
them with you. If you have doubts
check out my facts.

The free-trade agreement has a
cancellation clause that allows either
side to cancel the agreement at any
time with a six-month notice — from
the time of the signing and there-
after, even 22 years from now. So
what is the problem? If we don't like
how it is working, we can cancel it.
That is going to encourage both sides
to try hard to make it work. Right?

GATT, which is the international
trade agency that sets all rules
regarding trade agreements, says:
“Social programs cannot be negoti-
ated.” That includes old-age pen-
sions, health care, welfare and U.1.
Free trade will create more jobs in
Canada, which will mean more
money going into the pot and less
coming out, so we will be able to
better look after those who need and
deserve help.

Free-trade basically means taking
tariffs‘and duties off manufactured
goods on either side of the border.
This will benefit Canadians in several
ways. More jobs will be created here
in manufacturing. At the moment
there is a duty or tariff on many
manufactured products. Therefore,
much of our raw materials or only

Card not
necessary

Having received my notice of
enumeration (spelled incorrectly, in
spite of the enumeration record filled
out to perfection), I would like to
point out to voters that they can still
vote should they forget the card.

The very stern notice “bring this
card to the poll,” is to ease congestion
at the poll since it does indicate the
poll number at which you vote.

I have worked at elections for
several yéars and have witnessed
intimidation of mostly older voters
by overly-zealous poll clerks.

By all means, bring the card. But
you will not be denied your voting
privilege should you leave it at home.

Ingeborg Thor-Larsen

partially-manufactured goods are
shipped to the U.S. for further pro-
cessing. This is done to avoid paying
the duty or tariff. Many re-manu-
racturing (otherwise known as re-
man plants) have been set up just
across the border and are costing us
jobs in Canada. With the duties or
tariffs removed we will have the
d ge of being fi s
rather than just sellers of raw
materials. We are fortunate that we
have the raw materials to manu-
facture and that our market will
expand a great deal. The U.S.
population is 260 million to our 26
million (10-1).

On the other hand many of the
products we buy now come from the
U.S. With tariffs and duties removed
on those products consumers will be
able to buy more for our money
because of the lower prices. Accord-
ing to the estimates each family will
save $300 to $800 per year.

Last, but not least, the agreement
we make with the U.S. will not
jeopardize any future deals we may
wish to make with other countries.
We had to make a deal because the
terrible lumber tariffs were just the
beginning of protectionism by U.S.
manufacturers. Without a free-trade

agreement more and more of: our
finished products would have been
screwed.

As far as Canada losing its culture,
I think Americans should be the ones
who should worry. We are such a
great and unique country they might
end up becoming too Canadianized.
Also, remember free trade certainly
never caused England or Denmark to
lose their sovereignty.

Since the Conservatives were
elected interest rates have gone
down and stayed down, inflation was
brought under control, jobs have
increased all across Canada (1,000
jobs per day for every day they've
been in), our dollar has come up and
our deficit has gone down (by $10
billion). I think that is a pretty good
record and I certainly would trust a
government with that sort of track
record rather than the others that
seem to have lots of criticism but few
solutions.

Please join me in showing our
appreciation for a job well done by a
government that is working hard to
help us by voting for the Con-
servative candidate in your area in
the federal election.on Nov. 21.

Pact’s six-month
clause no help

I find it very disturbing that
politicians in favor of the free-trade
agreement have one uniform argu
ment, that being: “It has a six-
month-out clause if we discover it
was a mistake.” This is how
politicians arrive at six months. In
April of this year our premier in his
wisdom decided to close the Robson
ferry. We as Robson residents felt
that once the politicians came and
saw first hand what a terrible mis-
take they had made, they would im-
mediately reverse this decision.

After a very informative brief and
countless names were submitted on
petitions they sent a deputy minister
of highways to Robson. He agreed
they had made a mistake, but it was
still to no avail. Now, after what we
thought would be weeks, we have
arrived at the beginning of the
seventh month and our premier has
had a look at what he agrees was a

mistake. Of course, he did stop long
enough in town to buy a bicycle at a
bankruptcy sale — just coincidentally
in the area that has been the hardest
hit by the ferry closure.

I believe the courts of British
Columbia being just, we will have our
ferry reinstated, but it will have
nothing to do with the premier or his
government admitting to making a
terrible mistake.

Now, we come to his counterparts
in Ottawa. By the time they realize
and admit to making a mistake and
we go through all the deputies and
the prime minister and finally arrive
in the courts, I feel it could well be
six years and not six months. If the
free-trade agreement is such a good
deal, why aren't we seeing it in black
and ‘White instead of continually
hearing “in six months we'll be out.”

Headline disturbing

I found your Oct. 23 front-page
story headlined “Celgar pollution a
problem” very disturbing. Celgar
Pulp Co. has been polluting our air
and water long enough and it is time
the environment ministry stopped
making excuses for it. Celgar is
making millions of dollars in profits
and doing precious little to clean up
its act. As a matter of fact, the air
pollution seems to be getting worse
instead of better.

What disturbs me the most,
though, is the attitude of the envir-
onment, ministry. Spokesman Carl
Johnson says the air pollution is not
going to harm anyone. I work for
Selkirk College which has a campus
in Castlegar and in Nelson. In Nelson
the air intake filters are changed
twice yearly and hardly need it,
while in Castlegar they are changed
monthly and are absolutely filthy. I
can’t believe that all that crap is not~
harming anyone.

Later, in reference to Celgar's
higher-than-average effluent dis-
charge, Mr, Johnson says: “This is a
big river, too, and that’s why there
isn't much of an impact.” I guess he's
right; it doesn’t have much impact in

Victoria, they never have to decide
whether to take a chance on eating
mercury-polluted walleyes there.

Yes, it is a big river, and a long
river, and people take that attitude
all the way down. No problem ... it’s
a big river. By the time it reaches the
Pacific it's a big filthy river. But
that's no problem, right? After all,
it’s a big ocean.

The environment ministry should
be protecting the environment for
the people, not simply issuing li-
censes to polluters. This is the seond
time in recent months that I have
seen environment ministry officials
taking the industry's side against the
people. The first was when Stuart
Craig saw his job as backing CPR’'s
right to poison our valleys with
Spike.

I think the government should
either get rid of these neanderthals
or change the environment minis-
try’s name to something more open
and honest like “The Ministry of
Pollution Justification.”

Tory defence policy obsolete

The Progressive Conservative
government's thinking about the
defence of Canada and its sover-
eignty is obsolete and out of step
with the new way of thinking of our
time. The philosophy of militarism is
an old way of thinking. It does not
contain any useful purpose or condi-
tions for the security of mankind. All
it does is produce sorrow, pain and
death to the participants and en-
riches the pockets of the already rich
and wealthy. This is camouflaged and
justified under the pretext of nation-
al security, sovereignty and pres-
ervation of freedom. How about the
security and freedom of the home-
less, hungry and the impoverished?

No sin

I remember the good old days
when people refrained from sin. It
was unthinkable to lie, steal, commit
adultry or kill. The term homosexual
was such an evil word that no one
would dare mention it. Of course,
those were the backward days when
we didn’t have the advanced edu-
cation that we have today. People
were mostly uneducated and there-
fore honored, obeyed and feared
God, trying to abide by the teachings
of His Son, Jesus.

Movement of scientists from many
countries. The Pugwash Movement,
incidentally, originated in Canada in
the small town of Pugwash, New
Brunswick.

The cornerstone of the new way of
thinking of this movement is vividly
expressed in the words of eminent
scientists like Albert Einstein, who
said: “We must warn people of the
danger again and again. We can and
must do all in our power so that the
nations of the world and especially
our governments realize the full
horror of the catastrophe they will
surely provoke, unless they change
their attitude to each other and their
approach to shaping the future.”

The eminent scientists confirm, in
different words and language, the
correctness of the Christian com-

Today, with our superior education
and knowledge we are much smarter.
We no longer have to succumb to

mandments of: “Love thy neighbor
as thyself;” “do unto others as you
would do have them do unto you” and
“thou shalt not kill.”

The western nations profess Chris-
tian faith, belief in God and Jesus
Christ.

The Soviet Union's constitution
says: “Peace and disarmament are
the ideals of socialism.” Mikhail Gor-
bachev talks about this and the new
way of thinking every day and makes
proposals to others in the same
spirit. The new way of thinking
involves the security of the whole
world, not only of certain countries.

We got around that
one; now we can satisfy our blood-
thirsty hearts and feel no sin! Of
course there may be one stickler.
Was man meant to be a graveyard
for all the innocent, slaughtered ani-
mals? It appears so.

Adultery was sin years ago
amongst the illiterate and ignorant.
Of course, in those days that only
meant not having sex with another
man’s wife. Now with our advanced
learning, free sex, gay sex, wide-
open sex, homosexuality and lesbi-
anism all are proudly exalted on the
TV, movie theatres, beer joints,
magazines and newspapers. In our
great wisdom we elect homosexuals
to represent us in government and
ordain homosexuals to preach God's
laws from the pulpit, so it can't be
sin. Yes, we got around that one also.
There is no sin whatsoever. In fact,
the filthier a sex act one can produce,
the more honor and money he gets.

So today there is no sin of any
kind. We hear from the pulpit that
the Son of God is preparing to come
for the second time, in the near
future. Perhaps we should designate
someone to meet Him half way, just
to advise Him to come prepared.
