Nobody's saying that words aren't important.
Dialogue is, after all, pretty central to our
notion of democracy. People talk to other
people, and listen to other people talk about
the changes that could or should happen to
our society.
But there's something else that's pretty
central tb our notion of,dernocracy, and that's
leadership. One person must act when all has
been said. One person must speak for us. One
person must listen, and very carefully, when
there are difficult decisions to be made.
Bill Davis is not new to the challenge of
leadership. During his seven months as Pre-
mier, he has acted to stimulate our economy,
to create opportunities for Canadians and for
Canadian enterprise. He has acted on a wide
front to clean up our environment—air, land
and water. He has acted to expand and up-grade
a variety of government services, from day care
centres to free medicare for those 65 and over.
In all, more than 130 pieces of legislation have
been, introduced, debated, and made law in
those seven short months.
In the course of the present election cam-
paign, Bill Davis continues to listen and, speak
out, but his promises are few. Our economy
can ill afford the tax increases to which others
have freely committed themselves.
We may be sure that when action is called
for, he will be both wise and decisive.
In what he has already done is the true
promise of what is to come from the leadership
of Bill Davis.
