Donald MacDonald critisizes
By Alice Gibb
Donald MacDonald, MPP
for York South and the NDP
food and agriculture critic,
attacked both the provincial
and federal governments'
economic policies in a speech
to members of NDP Huron -
Middlesex Riding Association
last week.
Mr. MacDonald attacked
the two levels of government
for continuing to try and
stimulate the faltering
economy by giving tax in-
centives to he business world.
While Mr. MacDonald said
this sounds like a plausible
solution, it ignores the fact
"That at the present time 20
percent of plant capacity in
Canada is idle."
He said, "What's the use in
giving them (industries)
money to expand plant
capacity when 20 percent
already isn't being used?
He said if money were put
in the hands of people who
need it, these people could
spend it, re -stimulating the
economy and creating a need
for production increases.
The food and agriculture
critic also attacked the recent
increase in OHIP costs and
said Darcy McKeough is
using the increased revenues
"to fill his coffers" rather
than improve health care
services.
Mr. MacDonald said the
Alberta Tories had also
raised their health insurance
premiums in the last few
weeks, despite a $700 million
surplus in the provincial
budget.
More Money
Mr. MacDonald said, "It's
Tory philosophy to raise
health premiums" and added
more money is raised from
OHIP premiums in Ontario
than from corporation taxes.
The MPP added six
provinces have now
eliminated health care
premiums entirely, including
the four Maritime provinces
which raise the revenue for
health services from the
general tax revenue and
Saskatchewan and Manitoba
which don't have health
premiums at all.
Ontario's health premiums
are now the highest of any
province, and Mr.
MacDonald asked, "how can
you justify that?"
Mr. MacDonald said if
provincial budgets have been
impractical in coping with
crises the federal budget has
been worse.
However, he said the recent
federal budget "recognized
there was no point in giving
more incentives at the top."
He said the three percent
sales tax reduction gave
some benefits to the average
person, but the NDP critic
said this was "an effort to
give the pretence of doing
something in the advance of
an election.".
He said the six month tax
reduction means the
government will revert to the
high tax again just as
unemployment begins to
mount in the fall and winter.
Mr. MacDonald said
treasurers Darcy McKeough
and Jean Chretien are in the
same ideological camp when
it comes to budgeting and
"the Liberals and Tories are
almost outdoing each other in
terms of being right wing,
conservative parties."
Mr. MacDonald also
referred to the upcoming
federal election, and said
"Pierre Elliot Trudeau says
Canadian unity will be the
main issue of this campaign."
The NDP critic said the
prime minister is hoping
people will forget unem-
ployment and the country's
economic crisis.
Most important
Mr. MacDonald said
developments of the last
weekend may be among the
most important in Canada's
history.
Referring to the election of
Claude Ryan as leader of the
Quebec Liberals, Mr.
MacDonald said, "For 10
years Pierre Elliot Trudeau
has been viewed as the only
leader able to cope with the
The spring rush is on, as the street reconstruction
program in Clinton was started this week. The Public
Utilities Commission was the first on the scene on Walker
Street this week, putting in new buried electrical ser-
vices and some new water mains. Here Bruce

Selling Your House....
DRIVEWAYS AND WALKS
When a prospective buyer first approaches your house, one of
the first things he'll look at will be the driveway and walks
leading up to the front or back doors. What the prospect ob-
serves about the condition of these seemingly mundane parts
of your property will help determine the attitude with which
he views the rest of what he sees.
A near fall caused by a pothole in the driveway, or shifting
front step, will not help us convince the prospect that you've
kept the house In good repair. (We won't mention the
possibilities If a stranger visiting your property should ac-
tually have an accident!)
A little attention to first impressions which will be made out-
side of your house can help insure that the prospect is
favorably impressed once inside.

government polieles at NDP meeting
the war.
"Every premier, from
Duplessis, through Lesage,
Johnson, Bertrand and
Bourassa, to Levesque has
been strongly, if not
stridently, nationalist," he
said.
Mr. MacDonald said he
believes Trudeau is out of
tune with modern Quebec
while Claude Ryan is very
much in tune with it.
Mr. MacDonald added,
"and he's (Ryan) convinced
we can re -structure Canadian
confederation and keep
Quebec in it."
In the future, Mr.
MacDonald said the battle for
Canada's future will not be
between Rene Levesque and
Trudeau but between Claude
Ryan and Levesque.
NDP Executive
Members of the Huron
County New Democratic
Party (NDP) elected a new
executive at a general
meeting held in Hensall
Public School on Tuesday
evening.
Stuart Craine of Exeter was
elected president of the riding
association. with John Fisher
threat of Quebec separatism
and maintain a united
Canada. Events of last
weekend, culminating in the
election of Claude Ryan as
leader of the • provincial
Liberal party, eliminates
Trudeau's indispensability."
Mr. MacDonald said, "if
the PQ drive to separatism is
to be stalled, it can only be
achieved through developing
a coalition of anti -separatists
forces within Quebec. While it
is premature to conclude that
Claude Ryan will become the
focus of such a coalition,
there is growing evidence to
suggest he will."
The MPP said, "it should
not be forgotten that in the
last election 60 percent of the
Quebec electorate were anti -
PQ and the polls consistently
suggest that 80-85 percent are
anti -separatist."
Tribalism
Mr. MacDonald said while
Prime Minister Trudeau
deplores nationalism and
views French-Canadian
nationalism as "a form of
tribalism," this has been
repudiated by every political
party in the province since
