A deliberate program to put .people out of work as a tool to control inflation does not at all convince Canadians that the present government has either feeling or understanding of the terrible misery caused by such action. A policy of ever increasing taxes has taken a staggering toll of small Canadian businesses. Every city, town and village has suffered in this fashion. We need all these small enterprises as they are the backbone of our economy, The policies for Agriculture have brought chaos and disaster to the industry, Probably more farmers have left or lost their farms in this government's short term of office than in any other comparable time in Canadian history. The Trudeati government's foreign policy has caused Canada a drastic loss of international prestige and distrust from other nations. 'The move toward the Communist-bloc countries is not understood or trusted. The fact that emotional issues such as abortion, homosexuality and drugs, are introduced into Parliament instead of measures to solve our economic 'problems gives the impression that the government is playing with Parliament. No one denies the importance of these issues but our economic problems, including housing, inflation and unemployment, which the government, if tackling at all, is doing so in the most ineffective way possible. It is not much wonder that the Canadian people are tired of being fooled. It is hard for people on pensions and fixed incomes to appreciate why there is not enough money for housing projects or for increases in old age pensions, etc., yet there appears to be millions of dollars wasted on travel to faraway places all over the world and which has brought no return to the Canadian people and, in many instances, has caused reactions in those countries. The unemployment rate for Canada jumped to 6.5 percent in August. The total number of Canadians who are without work is the largest on record for August since Statistics Canada began keeping records in 1946. The Trudeau government maintains that unemployment is constantly falling but all statistics indicate that unemployment is ,continually on the rise and the full effect of President Nixon's new economic policies have barely begun to be felt here in Canada. However, the government should not try to blame its failures upon Mr. Nixon's new economic policies. The unemployment situation in Canada was created by the federal government in the name of a war against inflation which has now proven to be a sham. This situation was long established before the announcement was made by Mr. Nixon. The first priority for the government must be to take steps to prepare for a hard winter ahead. Immediate action must be taken to stimulate the economy and to face up to the serious unemployment problem. These include: (a) personal income tax reductions on a sliding scale with greatest reductions for low and middle income Canadians; (b) elimination of or drastic reduction in the federal sales tax on building materials; (c) the negotiation of the Canada Assistance Plan to provide help for the provinces and municipalities during the winter months and (d) establishment of an immediate federal-provincial conference to co-ordinate the winter-works program. Most of ,is had the feeling that our dollar was shrinking in the purchases we were making. This was confirmed recently when we learned that the cost of living index had jumped to a record level of 135 percent — a rise of .7 percent in one month. In dollar terms, it meant that last year's food bill of $13.19 cost $1359 in August of this year, 26 cents more than in July. The purchasing power of the 1961 consumer dollar is now reduced to the equivalent of 74 cents. The government has paid a high price in terms of human suffering and unemployment to develop its strategy against inflation, Today we have 'infratioe w and Trudeau is supposed to have cured by 44 , 41 increasnig faxation nd increasing unemployment. Now, as a result, we haVe the Wbrst of two worlds — unemployment and inflation, The Financial Times worked out the calculations of what happens to a wage-earner's raise of $1,000 when taxes, unemployment insurance and pension contributions are deducted. A man with a wife and four children earning $11,000 per year would lose 33 percent of the raise in these deductions as would a single man earning $7,000. A man with a wife and four children earning $7,000 would lose 47 percent of the raise. The amount of money taken off the top is bad enough, But the figures show dramatically how middle-income families are bearing the brunt of the cost of schemes which Mesirs. Mackasey, Munro and Benson have divined, each in his own way. It is incredible that a man earning $7,000, with a wife and four children, should have to pay more of his increase to the government than does someone making $11,000 with the same number of dependants. Such anomalies make a mockery of the Liberal myth of managerial expertise. They are the result of an utterly unco-ordinated approach. Mr. Mackasey takes money under the guise of unemployment insurance which is taxation for welfare, not insurance. Mr. Memo purports to judge what families deserve family allowances and establishes a great new bureaucracy which has to be told every time a wage-earner's income changes. Mr. Benson has a Tax Reform bill before Parliament which upon close scrutiny is becoming more and More confused and complicated. The welfare state is often justified as taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor, But there are not enough rich people around to support the ambitious social welfare Schemes which the government has undertaken in such piece-meal, incoherent fashion. The plans hit hardest at the middle-income earners who are the majority of Canadian taxpayers, They are the ones whose initiative to work longer and harder is being sapped by such punitive measures.
