Elsehwere, in a speech given at Monday's Peace of the Kootenays in Nelson, Brisco said “there is no doubt that the world today is subjected to strains and tensions unique in modern history.” He called it “somewhat curious that while young men and women meet in a spirit of amity for the Olympics — their political leaders ignore that majestic example set by our youth and speak instead of the imperatives of conflict that can only decimate the same tion.” Brisco said, “We must never succumb to the easy temp- tation to believe that war eannot be avoided — because we are at that point in history where we will not survive nuclear confrontation. Nor can we afford a conventional war that might lead to the ultimate countdown.” He told about 100 people at the festivities, “We are here to re-dedicate ourselves to the wearying road of compromise and negotiation in the search for peace. We are here because we want to be. Because we must.” He said nuclear weapons are a reality “which political leadership must seek to constrain.” He added, “I am convinced that we need to restore Parliament as an instrument for seeking national concensus on the challenge. we face in foreign affairs. Not everything need be defined in narrow partisan or adversarial politics.” Kristiansen and Turnbull also spoke to the crowd Turnbull said peace is living in “harmony and trust, serenity and security.” Kristiansen discussed the NDP’s record for supporting tanpopular causes and asked the crowd to become involved.

The final tally as nomina tions closed Tuesday showed 15 per cent of the 846 can didates running for the Lib- erals, Conservatives and New Democratic Party in the 282 federal ridings are wom en Seventy women ran in the last election, 82 in 1979 and 73 in the 1974 election However, only 14 women were elected to the Commons in 1980 two each by the Tories and NDP and 10 by the Liberals — compared with 10 the year before and nine in 1974. Although no woman was elected for the NDP in 1974 and only two won Commons seats in each of the two fol Jowing elections, the party consistently has the highest sumber of female names on ballots across the country. This year there will be women running in 65 ridings TURNER continued trom trom page crusades on behalf of seais, whaies and — nearly double the 33 who ran last time. All three female NDP in. cumbents — Pauline Jewett, Margaret Mitchell and Lynn McDonald — will seek re election. The Liberal party has 43 women running, compared with 23 last time. At dis solution of Parliament last month, the party had nine women MPs and all but Health Minister Monique Be- gin and Ursula Appolloni will run again. Former Liberal Speaker Jeanne Sauve re- signed her seat in the last House to become Canada's first women governor gen eral. Meanwhile, the Tories nominated 23 women candi- dates — up from 14 in 1980. Incumbents Flora MacDon- ald, Pat Carney and Jennifer Cossitt — who like the NDP’s McDonald won a Commons seat in a 1982 byelection — will run again this time. Amid pressure from wom- en's groups that issues of concern to women be addressed during the 56-day elgction campaign, all parties have been hustling to recruit women candidates. Because of financial con. straints, social stereotypes and the necessity of often being away from their fam ilies, many women find the step into the politieal arena as difficult as a leap into shark-infested waters. But with special funds, training courses and moral and organizational support, the mainstream parties have tried to help women over. come the obstacles. However, despite their best intentions and the best efforts of female candidates, women won't get elected un less they are running in what is known in the jargon as “winnable ridings.” Chaviva Hosek, president of the powerful non-partisan National Action Committee on the Status of Women, says she doesn't care if parties wooed women to run purely out of political motives - with one eye on recent polls of female voting patterns and the trendy motion of a gender gap. The point is they are en couraging women to run and the only really important thing is that women get a fair chance in winnable ridings.

Continuing a theme he has been pushing since the election campaign began, Broadbent said corporate tax breaks will cost more than $26 billion this year, up from $6 billion in 1975. More than 80 per cent of the federal concessions are paid to one-half of one per cent of the country's largest tions, Broadbent told a news conference. Much of the windfall is spent on foreign investment and corporate mergers that do nothing to create new jobs for Canadians, he argued. An NDP policy paper released at the same time added, “It's the largest corporations which receive the tax breaks that have the worst job record .. . While they've enjoyed larger drops in tax rates and larger inereases in profits, they've actually provided fewer — not more — jobs for Canadians.” The paper said overseas investment by large Can- adian corporations averaged $3.7 billion in the five-year period ending in 1963, up 646 per cent from the yearly average of $675 million in the previous five years. During the 1970s, rhore than 2,000 jobs were eliminated by large corporations, it added. * SLAMS MERGERS The paper said corporate mergers, which also reduce employment opportunities, rose 52 per cent to a total of 620 in the 1979-83 period, up from 343 in 1974-78. Broadbent said the NDP is insisting that corpor- ations account for special. tax breaks financed by taxpayers and use the money to create jobs or purchase Canadian-made equipment. Asked if corporations might respond to such res- trietions by leaving the country, he replied, “The proposals ['m making mesh consistently with other industrial countries (and) . . . I think that honest business people will respond, if not with exuberance, then at least neutrally.” He warned that both Prime Minister John Turner and Conservative Leader Brian Mulroney will force middle-and lower-income earners to pay for even more “unaccountable” tax breaks for corporations. The party policy paper said Turner, a corporate lawyer before returning to policies this year, learned about deferred taxes as a member of the board of directors of MacMillan Bloedel. The document accused MacMillan of slashing its ‘ork force‘by thousands while deferring $130 million of taxes in 1982 and, more recently, investing more than $200 million overseas.

Observers at the confer. ence, attended by about 135 countries and scores of non. governmental organizations, characterized the Canadian stand on the issue of abortion and involuntary sterilization as middle-of-the-road Marsden didn't specifically mention either of those is. sues. But by telling the con. ference that Canada will con. tinue funding projects con taining family planning ele- ments,” she“ was generally understood to be placing no restrictions on Canada's aid to Third World family plan ning programs.

The U.S. accepts the right of all countries to determihne The U.S. accepts the right of all countries to determine their own national population policies, but also insists on its right to contribute to family programs only if they meet the standards of the Reagan administration. In contrast, Sweden told control the conference Tuesday that “prevention of unwanted pregnancies must always be our aim.” Swedish Health Minister Gertrud: Sigurdsen said ille- gal abortions, performed un- der unsafe conditions, still constitute a serious problem in many countries. “I would like that all women in the world have access to legal and safe abortions,” she said. On the issue of linkage be- tween population and devel- opment, Marsden said that development is “essential to effective population policies.” But she also said Canada doesn’t believe that economic development alone will result in the resolution of* popu- lation issues. Many usiderde- veloped countries are strug. gling under high birth rates, while others, particular!<’ in Latin America, face problems with rapid urbanization.
