Candidates respond to issues

Mr. Campbell did not seem in
complete support saying they are
doing, “what they perceive is fair. I
am not in a position to agree nor do
I oppose.” He did add however,
that the tax might be better
received if it were added to the
existing tax instead of on top.
The majority of the candidates
felt that too much was being spent
on health care and education, while
Mr. Fitzgerald noted that health
care is more expensive in the states

need to realize that the
spent on education is an
ment not a waste.
One question drew some
les from the crowd: if your party

farmers as much as the farmers’
land. “The NDP are committed to
fighting Free Trade,” he added.
“It has been proven bad for the
agricultural industry and will con
tinue to be bad for them.”
The NDP leader remarked that
he was very pleased with the latest

lost by the Liberals and told the
media that his hope for this election
was simply to win as many seats as
possible.
Tony McQuail, who has been the
NDP delegate in the federal elec
tion presented Mr. Rae with a
cornucoppia symbolic of Huron,
filled with beans, and corn among
other things.
Mr. Rae then spent some time
talking to Eugene Fischer, an
82-year-old nursing home resident
from Harriston who has been an
NDP since 1916. Mr. Fischer said
that he had never had the chance to
shake hands with the new NDP
leader and made the trip that day in
the hope of having the opportunity
to meet him.

Mr. Klopp began his remark
with a quote he had heard. “Too
bad politicians can’t remember
they are appointed, not annoint-
ed,” he read. ‘‘If elected I will be
working for the people of Huron.”
Following the question period
the candidates were each given two
minutes to sum up their beliefs and
respond to what they had heard.
Mr. Clark raised the point during
his remarks that the issue of
abortion was never questioned, an
issue he feels strongly about. The
rest offered a brief outline of what
has been wrong in the past and
what they would do to correct it.
