Wood Following a quiet victory over the Ontario government's policy -implementation over certain highway signs, the Toronto-based Qntari.ans for Responsible Govemment,(ORG) has launched a new attack on Premier Bob Rae and the NDP. Unveiled .in Wingham last Thursday, the new campaign strikes directly at Rae and his government. The plan calls for 70 billboards to be erected in each of the NDP -held ridings across the province, each bearing the message to vote against Rae and the NDP. The proposed billboards contain pictures • of a llyswauer - Kills Flys; a mousetrap Kills Mice; and Rae - Kills Jobs. In addition, the group has also launched a radio campaign, once again based on the Buffalo Business Boosters concept. The original radio campaign a couple of years ago had the • fictional - business . organization honoring Bob Rae as its man of the year for all he had done for cross- border shopping. This time Rae is being honored with a "Lifetime Achievement Award" and the message. is "If Bob Rae wins, you lose." "People say 'Why bother ?'," ORG executive director Thom Corbett said at the press conference. "We wish we could be so confident (that Rae is unlikely to win the next provincial election)." Corbett said the ORG is targeting the Rae government for "unelection" because of many policies it has enacted o - the past four years. The ORG recently won a battle with the government over stipulations in the Highway Traffic Act regarding roadside billboards and banners. The NDP tried to use a loophole to stem an ORG campaign opposing changes to the Labor Act allowing farm laborers to unionize. The ORG is a non-partisan group, Corbett explained.

"We're talking about debt and deficit. The forecast is for $2.5 billion more than 'anticipated...this government is mortgaging the future for our children and grandchildren. We will remind the voters of the harm this government has done over the past four years," Corbett said. "The government argues it inherited a recession. Well, so did the rest of Canada, but Ontario is lagging behind (in recovery)," Part of the reason for the slow Ontario renewal, Corbett said, is that people are spending less money in the province. The consumers are fearful of Rae's policies and investors are being turned away with strict labor laws and more powerful. union rights. "After the first four short years of NDP government, we now have 200,000 fewer people employed thep when they first squeaked into power. Add to this a near doubling of the welfare roll to 1,300,000 (as opposed to 730,900 in September 1990) and a doubling of the 'provincial deficit to $90 billion and it's obvious to most Ontarians that the NDP has lost their moral right to rule," Corbett said. If the government plans on fighting the upcoming election on the so-called success of their jobsOntario plan, they will face a well-deserved defeat. Although the government is waging .,a multi- million dollar ad campaign touting the success of this plan, the fact remains that they have only created 47,000 jobs through a plan that cost 35 cents of every, dollar spent ,lust to administer it. "When it comes to ideology and job creation, Bob Rae and the NDP are dedicated to stamping out the private sector in order to fulfill their goal of more control over the economy and the population." Statistics provided by the ORG show in comparison between September 1990 and September, 1994, the unemployed ranks rose from 37,000 to 516,000; the.. Ontario credit rating dropped frc fit Triple A to Double A and the debt went from $42.3 billion to $90.4 billion. The ORG states several ways the government can get the economy back on track: 1. Privatize non-profit housing program, which costs $1 billion per year, and other government programs. 2. Balanced Budget Legislation. 3, Massive tax reductions. •see Voters, page 19 Happy 45' Anniversary Eugene and Betty Fraync Friends and neighbours arc. welcome tet come. and ccicbrate mass at Si.
