Reform Party meets in Blyth
The Reform Party of Canada held
their first Blyth meeting at the
Royal Canadian Legion on Thurs
day, April 23.
Len Lobb of Clinton, addressed
the audience by explaining how he
became involved with the Reform
Party in June 1991. He was con
cerned about what's happening to
the country and with a strong per
sonal belief in constructive criti
cism, he resolved to try and make a
difference. He explained that the
common denominator of the
Reform Party is “the common
sense of the common people”.
“It is now time to take our future
in our own hands and get back to
the basic fundamentals of democra
cy,” he stated. “The Reform Party
wants a federation of 10 equal
provinces where everyone has the
same rights and no one has any
special rights.”
Lobb believes that Canadians
need to go back to running this
country like a business. Canada is
in a time of unprecedented change;
a time in which it finds itself
unable to compete in a global econ
omy because of high government
debt, government bureaucracy. We
are being threatened by deteriorat
ing social nets, an environmental
crisis, and the possible secession by
Quebec, he said.
The biggest task Canada faces is
eliminating the national debt, he
said. Canada is being scourged by
an “economic disease and the cure
is up to us”. Lobb believes that
what is needed now is a full gener
ation of fiscal responsibility.
He advocates slashing govern
ment department budgets, spending
cuts, attacking bureaucracy and
eliminating government grants to
lobby groups. A revamping of
social programs must become a
high priority, he said. The Reform
Party believes that government
must become more accountable,
more effective and more afford
able. Public policy must reflect the
w'll of the people, and elected rep
resentatives must represent the peo
ple to the government instead of
representing the government to the
people.
Lobb says the main identifying
mark of the Reform Party is that
they are the only party wanting to
change the system; to reform the
present Canadian government sys
tem, because it is the system itself
that is wrong. He believes that what
is needed is a reform of the Senate
for triple-E status (elected, effec
tive and equal representation), free
votes for MPs, and a recall mecha
nism for MPs in which the public
has lost confidence.
“We need better government,” he
said, “to safeguard the interests of
the Canadian people.”
Connie Kuc, President of the
Huron Chapter of the Registered
Nurses Association of Ontario
attended the 67th Annual meeting
of the RNAO in Niagara Falls April
23-25.
The registered nurses in atten
dance discussed and gave direction
to the RNAO board, about several
issues facing nurses and the public.
Some of these issues were promot
ing the understanding of the impor
tance of the role of a registered
nurse in health care, reducing the
tobacco use among elementary
school children, violence against
women, speaking out for health and
speaking out for nursing.
