prohibiting the use of intoxication
as a defence in all crimes of male
violence against women and girls.
This statute must have a preamble,
similar to the one that women's
advocates fought for in Bill C49,
the "No Means No" law, that
should address the following
points:
-the prevalence of male violence
against women and girls and
- that while alcohol does not
'cause' male violence, it is used
legally and socially to justify and
excuse it
- that the intoxication defence is
used in a gendered way,
- and the law is justified based on
women's equality rights and
security of the person under
section 15 of The Charter of
Rights and Freedoms
We will also be protesting any
legislation which creates a new
offence of 'criminal intoxication' as
it removes the harm done by the
violence towards women. It is

unacceptable to anyone who has
been raped that the perpetrator may
only be found guilty of 'criminal
intoxication'.
As much as we appreciate Justice
Minister Allan Rock's taking
action, we recognize the need for a
more comprehensive consultation
with women's advocates, victims of
violent crimes and feminist lawyers
before any legislation is designed
regarding this and other issues
concerning violence towards
women.
In order to make a difference, we
need to hear many different voices
"speaking out" on this National
Day of Action. On behalf of the
organizing committee, I would like
to extend to you an invitation to
attend the rally at the Beer Store,
395 Huron Road, Goderich,
Saturday, Feb. 25 from 1-2 p.m.

After months of confrontations
and disputes, East Wawanosh
council has ruled on the motocross
issue in the township.
A temporary use bylaw was
passed at the Feb. 10 meeting,
allowing Tom Bitz of Pt. Lot 29,
Conc. 7, to hold three two-day
events on his property.
The agreement permits one event
to be held on a holiday weekend
and the others on regular weekends.
The permit is in affect for one
year from the date of the bylaw
passing.
Harry Brydges was appointed
dog counter at a cost of $2.50 per

"Both the politicians and the
residents of Ontario need a reality
check. It is insanity for people to
continue to think the government is
obliged to bail out everyone. The
government needs to be run more
like business."
Those are the thoughts of
provincial Liberal candidate for
Huron county Rick Mclnroy of RR
1, Walton.
"As a taxpayer, I am fed up with
government spending which has no
justification. Special interest groups
cannot continue to get so much
money. People must realize that the
money is being borrowed from
somewhere (to fund projects). It all
has to be paid back with interest,"

Council approved the 1995 bud-

Board, approximately $2,200;
Blyth and District Community
Centre Board, $9,849.60; Blyth and
District Fire Area Board, $12,000,
Wingham Area Fire Board, $8,834
and Operating, $15,654.
At the Feb. 7 meeting, council
had no objection to James Hess of
RR1 Belgrave locating a used car
lot (up to 12 cars) and a cleanup
shop, in Auburn, subject to
approval by the Huron County
Health Unit and drainage superin-
tendent.

he says.
Mr. Mclnroy said he decided to
run as the Liberal candidate when
he returned from one of his stints
working on the northern pipeline
and began to calculate his expenses
and taxes to be paid.
"It is time for the average
working guy to have a voice in
government."
Having a (university) degree is
not a plus or minus when assessing
a good candidate, he says. "The
greatest qualifications are to be a
Canadian and a taxpayer."
Mr. Mclnroy believes that
becoming part of the system
(government), he will be able to
affect a change.
had no objections to the minor vari-
ance applied for by Daniel Shisko,
Pt. Lot 42, Conc. 11.
An operating and maintenance
agreement was reached with Morris
Twp. regarding Belgrave Commu-

be increased from $1,500 to
$2,000.

and $35,956.08, respectively.
