He Conceded that fanners need government to use tQ S such as trade tarifs to protect Canadian prroducers But he's equally, convinced that government could do more to secure world markets for our product$. He pointed-" out that bean producers and government went•after foreign markets for their product and now export 80 percent of the annual crop. The PC candidate is also quick to point out that Canada, to trade on world markets, must -be competitive. He said Canadian government• simply had to "pay its bills sometime" or at least slow down the national deficit. He said it was unrealistic for government to • • subsidize the nation's industry or agriculture. He said the Canadian economy would have to stand on its own merit and be competitive if the country wanted to encourage investment inns future. Cardiff feels the Conservative budget was a necessity to put the country back on a solid base. He said his travels in the riding left him with the impression that while the budget wasn't "popular" most voters -felt it was "good". Cardiff says he has 'no problem" accepting Joe Clark's leadership abilities but concedes he Craig... o from necessary.• "There were bad feelings about the election call at the beginning because people weren't prepared for it," he said, "But they couldn't support 18 cent a gallon excise tax." The Conservative budget which would have brought higher energy costs upon Canadian consumers has become a key election issue, one that 'Craig believes would be detrimental to the development of Ontario. "Higher prices do not lead to conservation, he stated. "Farmers here use 3 per cent of the energy and the excise tax is just like putting a tax on food." - F The increase in the excise tax on fuels would .have resulted in higher transportation costs and 'subsequently higher prices would be passed on to the -consumer. "It would have put Ontario in an economic bind," Criag claimed. "We have to blend the price. for .oil taking into' account the .import, costs and costs of developing our own a�. is npt it pre4S:ed with the advertising cam- paigns th# ieaders have adopted. He saide bas. p noted • a great deal •of "disapproval of ad- vertisLng aigns" by voters: "People .,ire, sick of two year elections," he noted. ''The leaders. made promises based on serving in'governzuent for four years and can't .be expected to be"held to those promises.in six. months."• He'said Clark's, waffling on the movement.of . the. Canadian etzibassy in Jerusalem could not be used tQ' judge. the Irian He said he had tp "give .Clark credit. far backing away from the: . issue and adrnittinghe was wrong". • - "It obviously would have been.wrong to move the embassy,"said Cardiff. "Maybe it would be better if the -leaders would admit. they were wrong rather than make bad decisions to keep a promise." Cardiff has suffered some identity problems during his campaign. Replacing Bob McKinley; 'the PC incumbent that held the riding for 14 ' years, has -bean the criteria some voters have used when sizing up Cardiff. He said he regularly hears comments like "you're the man replacing Bob, you've got a big pair of shoes to fill". But Cardiff has. made no effort to ride on his predecessor's coat tails. "I'm•running as Murray Cardiff,".he says. Cardiff has made no campaign promises during the past few weeks other than promising to do what he can to investigate people's con- • cerns. He said he does not believe in promising • to do things he's not certain he can do. He adds he_ much-prefers.zQ"dn_what- I can" claiming politicians would be much smarter to in- vestigate issues throughly before plunging into therm . . The PC says one of the things he plans to look into if elected . is government sponsored recent support, the Liberal party is coasting on a team effort. Pierre Trudeau has maintained a low profile, y." generalldoling but prepared speeches that lack his former vitality and punch, Craig is hopeful Trudeau will come out swinging in the final week. "The party is working on a team effort theme and some believe that when he does speak out . he. is b.eing arrogant," Craig said. "1 think in the -last week he will come on stronger but not like last May.'=- Craig is adamantly -dismayed at the national advertising campaigns persued by the party claiming they, are openly negative and demeaning without proposing alternatives. , "Why oppose if you can't propose," he.said. Craig now views.'the riding as 'wide open' and believes that voters here are more personable, giving support to a man, not a leader. "Leadership hasn't been mentioned that much here," he added: He maintained that leadership could play an important:role here if_people haven't met the 'local candidates, but insisted the eloctorate- was mare issue -minded in this campaign Craig is concerned with the aspect of spen-. ding 'and in part ular, needless and wasteful government spenoing which can be. cured. "People have had it with taxes and the • government must set an example," he said." , The interest rates are too high and there is no justification for it running 2-3 per cent above` inflation." He is concerned with government spending claiming we are .overrun with administration costs -and red tape. • While he IS concerned with cutting costs he sees a need for additional funds in the private business -sector -to stimulate growth and em- ployment opportunites. "We 'are unwilling to invest in ourselves and are basically a trading nation' he said. Although this is his second attempt in seeking the riding, seat, Craig is a relative neophyte in the field of politics, at any level. To that he offers assurances of hard work and dedication' to the riding. Canada, he says, imports 3p per cent of its oil consumption but insisted Canada is not an energy short nation -but an oil short nation. Recently. Canadians have been more well. versed on the subject of foreign policy than in recent years. With the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the assistance given• to six American diplomats by the Canadian Embassy in Tehran and the unending speculation on a boycott of the Moscow Olympic games and'the Israeli Embassy -question, Canadianshave become conversant with foreign affairs. Craig luaded Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor's efforts in assisting with the removal of six americans from Tehran but simply offered: "They had to make a move and they did." Taylor's heroics came at a convenient for the Conservatives, a time when they lagged in the public opinion polls. Craig believes the heroics haven't given the party as much benefit as first was thought. . As far as Canada's role is concerned in protesting the Soviet ' intervention in Afghanistan Craig said any type of boycott should be a united Western front and of they economic variety. The Liberal party has enjoyed a wide margin of popularity in the recent gallup •poles and although the Conservativeshave gained some For the Home Handyman Not exactly cis illustrated ,ROCKWELL BEAVER 9'.'
