HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1979-05-16, Page 5Trudeau must go says MCKI..Lley...., *from page 1 _ government and the premiers were co-op- erating, harmoniously. McKinley believes the people of the country should vote against the prime minister because he cannot control the economy, he has allowed unemployment and he has divided the country. A ,Clark government says McKinley would restore trust in the federal govern- ment. Business will be stimulated because they will not be afraid to move ahead since "the government won't change the rules in the middle of the game as the Liberals have done." There will be co-operation across the country with Joe Clark 'as prime minister. "Clark is a good organizer," says McKinley and he will work for the co-operation of the premiers and Quebec with the federal government. THE ECONOMY • McKinley cites the Conservatives' in- centives to stimulate the economy as the party's strategy to deal with a sluggish economy and high unemployment. Tax deductions of $2 billion' to n' ' •yin and low income people through pers...ial income tax deductions is one policy. A tax credit for purchase of shares in a Canadian company and mortgage deductions for home owners will' help get the economy moving again says' McKinley. A 20 per cent deduction: in the building industry will help to create jobs in construction. McKinley is disturbed by the Liberal government's cutbacks of 6 Per cent, to the agricultural industry which ot41y receives 1 per cent of the federal budget. He hears stories of the farm credit people having to put, up ,more farms for sale. The cost of machinery and, fertilizer has sky -rocketed and the farmers' income has not kept. pace. Beef producers says. McKinley are unable to take advantage of higher prices for beef at present because they are still catching up from three,years ago when Australian and New Zealand beef was entering the country at ridiculous prices. "The 'government vacillated for two years before they placed import controls on beef to protect the beef farmer Canada," he says. Some beef farmers had to quit beef and some quit farming because of it he adds. There would be . morebeef available if those farmers' were still farming beef today. McKinley is concerned about the future of farming in ;Huron -Bruce where it is our major industry, when the farmer must pay Si' per pound for a calf and can only sell the finished ' beef for 86' cents .a pound'. McKinley wants to see the government export more food products because the Canadian farmer is. only viable if he gets bigger and is capable of producing more given the support for his product. Free trade is good says 'McKinley but you can't think of it, only one way. It's got to be fair trade and he cites the. example that higher tariffs are paidon our products, exported to the U.S. than on U.S. products imported here. Canada did not get access' to the European Common Market at the same time as England because of the "Liberals' failure to be on the job," says McKinley. There is no protectibti'for Canadian exports since we lost preference with England when she entered the Market. It is difficult to get Canadian products into the Common Market because of their levy system. HYDRO CORRIDORS McKinley does not want to see Hydro corridors running through the prime agri- cultural land in Huron -Bruce. While it is a provincial issue, he feels hydro corridors. should be plated in sparsely populated areas. He says he has been assured by Break and enter A break in at 'Lucknow, Custom •Welding' and Machine early ..Thursday morning, May 10 resulted in the theft of machinists' tools, chain saws and lawn mowers. ". The thieves ransacked the office of Diane's Pop Shop which is located in the same building creating considerable damage. The break in occurred around 3.30 a.m. when the vandals gained, entrance through a back door of . the building. There is no estimate of damage or cost of stolen articles available at the present time. Council hriefs A motion was passed by Lucknow Village Council on Tuesday, May.. 8 to , permit. Environment Canada in 'conjunction with the Maitland Valley Conservation Author- ity, to install a water level and forecasting station on the north side of Gough Street. t t t. Reeve George Joynt recommended the four municipal councils represented on the arena board, meet to .discuss the purchase of a new brine pump which is required for the Lucknow arena. Thel pipes are rusted through and the pump will not last another winter. The cost of replacing the pipes, pump and ' motor is estimated' to be $25,000. Lncknow Senthiel, Wednesday, May 16, 1979—PI Ontarib Hydro there is little chance of a nuclear generating station along Lake Huron in Huron County. He believes there should be some inde- pendent body as a watchdog over Ontario Hydro to._oversee their building programs and the question of nuclear safety. RAIL SERVICE McKinley wants passenger rail service restored to this area, , $4 million was promised by. the :Liberals in the last election to be put into rail passenger service and nothing has been done. McKinley says rail passenger service is the `'economic method of travel for, the future, and should be promoted. "The only" thing the Liberals have done is given CN a new paint job (Via rail)," a5 quips McKinley. In Europe rail service has been the answer to the problem of crowding which would not permit additional highways to be built. The longer railways are allowed to deteriorate says McKinley the greater the cost to re-establish the service when we need it in the future. M People were not satisfied with the service and were not using it when rail service was stopped in this area. At the hearings they spoke out about service and schedules which were. . not conducive to increased useage of rail service, he says. "If they speed up the service and -make it better for passengers to travel by rail, more people will use rail," says McKinley.
