This was the message given by Hamilton East MP Sheila Copps to a crowded room of Huron -Brune Liberals in Holmesville on November 14. "What is at stake is the very sur- vival of this country we call Canada. We the Liberals r will be building again for thenext election," said Mrs. Copps. The former provincial member of parliament who jumped to federal politics early in 1984, said the Huron - Bruce annual meeting could be used as "a jumping off point" for the local Liberals. Their aim, she says, is to elect a federal Liberal member from Huron -Bruce. And a meeting like the one in Holmesville, a gathering of about 200 Liberals, is happening across the country, says Ms. Copps. She points to the next caucus meeting of her par- ty, that is a meeting of all federal Liberal members of parliament, to be held out ip British Columbia this -- week. "We have a chance to take more seats there," she said of the province where only John Turner has a seat. Ms: Copps also said Saskatchewan looks promising for the Liberals. Both Ms. Copps and Bruce McDonald. the federal Liberal can- didate for Huron -Bruce in 1984, com- mented on the Lil�rals federal con- vention last week in Halifax. "It was spontaneous," Ms: Copps said of the 15 -minute standing ovation received by Mr. Turner at the convention. McDonald described the MP as be- ing one of the most enthusiastic per- sons at that convention. She adds that the enthusiasm is spreading. The fiesty MP took several swings at Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, his Progressive Conservative party and the government. Specifically, Ms. Copps said Tory MPs should be ques- tioned on free trade and .family allowances. "It'smore than tuna and more than the banks," she said of the things wrong with the current government. "When we were the government you could sit down and. eat tuna and drink wine." The Hamilton native said the PC government's budget has hurt families.

This, she said, is because of tax credit changes. She also warned that the federal government had better not put agriculture's marketing boards or other safety nets on the negotiating table with the United States. "They aren't bargaining chips." she said. Ms. Copps also talked about the Polar Sea incident last summer when the American vessel sailed through Canadian waters. She told how members of the Council of Canada flew over the area and dropped a Canadian flag from the plane. "When we were the government, the U.S. government wouldn't have had the nerve to perpetrate that," she said -of the ship incident. However, she added that the PC government, instead of taking action against the American vessel, have brought charges against the Canadian pilot. Shouts of "shame" followed that Copps statement. The polls indicate favor is return- ing to the Liberals says Ms. Copps, "And that spells victory for us in the next election." Times -Advocate, November 20, 1985 Page 5 JUNIOR BOYS CHAMPS AT ST.
