Balf the world thinks farmers are-tripping over subsidy
cheques when they pick ttp-thili mail at the farm gate and
the 'other half .doesn't seem to give a hoot.
I waS asked to appear on a panel discussion a few day s
after thefederal budget was tabled. The moderator, playing
devil's advocate, of course, threw in that old complaint
about farmers being subsidized to the detriment of the free
market place.
-Farmers in this country do not get one cent more than
they deserve in my_humble opinion.
Are you married, and do you have children? You get
subsidized every time You cash or bank a baby bonus
cheque.
Farmers cannot participate in the gosernment's great
redistribution of wealth program. unemployment insur-
ance. They cannot collect unemployment insurance yet
their taxes go towards paying those huge deficits
accumulated by the UIC every year.
Farmeri install their own sewage disposal systems, too.
yet their taxes help to pay for those massive sewage plants
in the towns and cities of this country.
They get no use froiti those sewer plants yet half the
municipalities across Canada have been getting govern-
ment grants and subsidies to help pay for them.
Farmers do not get much use out of rapid transit systems
in the big cities either, yet their tax dollars help subsidize
them. The list of grants and subsidies is as long as a wet
week for highly -urbanized areas.
So when people start crying about how farmers arc
getting too much government largesse. just think for a few
moments of the art galleries.. the performing arts centres.
the roads and bridges and sewers and recreation centres in
the bigger cities- and ask yourself. how many farmers get
full value for the grants and subsidies that go towards
keeping big cities going?

Huron-Bruce ' New
Democrats distributed an in
formation sheet on interest
rates Saturday. Nov. 21, the
National Day of Protest which
saw over 100,000 people go to
Ottawa. Many who couldn't
go signed the petition being
distributed by local New
Democrats which read "Mr.
Trudeau, I couldn't go to
Ottawa, but I want to add my
name to those protesting the
high interest rates." Valerie
Bolton. H-B South Vice Pre-
sident said it was the most
popular petition she has ever
seen.
Tony McQuail, H-B. NDP
President said "High interest
rates take money from those
Of course, they have the privilege of using them but the
money goes where the people live and there are darn feu
people living in the country today.
And let's not forget that the rural people of this province
have been paying 30 to 35 per cent more for their hydro
41eettic power for 50 or 119 years than their city counterparts.
That's why 1 get a little upset about those who scream
loud and long about farm subsidies. After the television
show. I got a couple of letters. one suggesting I save my
anger for more important things and another praising me
for taking the agricultural viewpoint and getting a couple of
shots off at city people on behalf of farmers.:-
if governments are going to hand out great gifts and
low -interest loans to Chrysler and FO:rd and Massey-Fergu-
son and a few hundred other big corporations in this
country. there is no reason in the world why agriculture
should not share in government subsidies.
Agriculture is the most important industry in this nation
and don't let any one tell you different. When agriculture
prospers. so does the rest of the nation. More than 43 per
cent of the jobs in this entire nation are generated through
the food chain. That's an indication of how important
farmers are.
Keep them happy and keep them in business and we all
benefit.
I wish I could be as articulate in front of a camera as some
of those professional moderators. I've always felt more at
ease expressing .myself on paper than through a
microphone.
I get too steamed up. too angry. and it shows.
Perhaps I'd better keep my mouth shut and refuse to
appeal on any more of those programs. Just stick to my
typewriter where I feel much more at home.
who don't have enough to
start with (borrowers) and
transfer it
to the wealthy.
High interest policies guaran-
tee the rich a return much
higher than inflation. Wage
earners. famers and small
businesses-have been getting
a return lower than inflation.
The petitions are on their
way to Ottawa,
