FEEDBACK
ON FREE TRADE:
I wish to congratulate you an
running a democratic magazine.
You have two intelligent writers
who, having read the Free Trade
Agreement, and understanding every
word and letter, totally disagree on the
contents. How can Gord Wainman
and Adrian Vos have read the same
document?
I wish to comment on Gord Wain -
man's column. Let us go back to
1972. The election gave us a minority
Liberal government. The NDP held
the balance of power. Between 1972
and 1974 inflation grew so rapidly that
by the election of 1974 the big issue
was wage and price controls.
The PCs declared that we needed
wage and price controls to cool the
economy down. The Liberals and the
NDP were adamantly opposed. From
one end of the country to the other
they preached against such an un -
Canadian act.
The Liberals got a majority in the
1974 election. No right-minded Can-
adian wanted wage and price controls.
What happened, Gord, do you
remember?
Within weeks, the Liberals hatched
their own wage and price control
scheme, but instead of three months it
became three years. Do you remem-
ber Mr. Trudeau announcing his plan?
So Canadians voted against wage
and price controls, yet we got them
anyway. The same will probably
happen with the FTA. After all, many
of the same people are still there.
I have not read the agreement so I
cannot say if it is good or bad. My
guess is that there is some of both.
The policies of the Liberal govern-
ment through the seventies brought us
to the economic crisis of the 1980s. I
remember when the interest rates on
my operating loan reached 24 per cent.
Yes, I remember, and I think many
others will also.
