We're all in this
• together. •
On October 21st, more than four million Ontario citizens will select, from
among themselves, 117 people to represent them. And, at the same time,
they will select one man as their Premier.
Bill Davis has said to the people of Ontario: "You have no need to
judge us on our promises. We are asking you to support us for our perform-
ance...for the decisions we have made, for the policies we have introduced,
for the more than 130 items of legislation we have implemented."
Consider that record.
The establishment of a Department of the Environment, and assistance
to firms investing in pollution control equipment. The banning of logging
in Quetico and Killarney Provincial Parks. Summer employment for students
in clean=up operations (Project SWEEP). The Endangered Species Act. A
tougher line with corporate polluters. With clear decisions and vigorous action
like this, Ontario can breathe a little easier.
The Davis government's decision to halt the Spadina Expressway, coupled
with a pledge to provide greatly expanded assistance to mass public transit,
has brought us closer to a rational solution of our transportation problems.
The Provincial conference on economic and cultural nationalism reflects
and also contributes to an expanding awareness of the potential of our country
and our people.
Davis decisions have helped the Canadian publishing industry; special
provisions have been-written into Ontario Development Corporation loans
to encourage Canadian effort, to preserve and enhance what is distinctive
about our society.
And there have been a great many other Davis government decisions...
good decisions: No-fault car insurance. The task force for off-track betting,
Expanded grants to day-care centres. Detoxification centres. Expanded hous-
ing on a rent-geared-to-income basis: Free medicare for the needy, and for
people 65 and over. And lowering the age of majority.
Which brings us back to your decision, at the ballot box.
For democracy to succeed, it's not enough to talk about change. Change
must be made to happen. That's why Bill Davis is doing things. And doing
things—for people—is surely what leadership is all about.
In his first seven months as Premier, Bill Davis has demonstrated the
kind of leadership and government Ontario needs, With your support on
October 21st, he will continue. He can do much more.
Davis is doing things...for people.
On October 214, do something for Ontario...Support Bill Davis.
