CLINTON-Aruce McDonald a .30 -Year
old insurance broker from .Mildn'fay will
take the Hluron•$ruce Liberals to the polls tn_
the September4 federal election.
McDonald earned the Liberal nod on July
26 in Clinton when more than 650 people fill-
ed the high school auditorium to pick their
candidate.
The voters chose McDonald over Heather
Redick of Zurich on the first ballot.
A life long resident of the riding,
McDonald was born'in Brussels and raised
on a farm in Grey Township. His family has
a history of involvement in community and
civic affairs and his great -great-
grandfather was the first reeve of Grey
Township.
The young Liberal candidate was
educated at Walton Public School, Seaforth
High School and earned a Bachelor of
Business Administration from Wilfrid
Laurier University, Waterloo.
He was the owner and president of D.B.
McDonald Insurance Brokers in Formosa
and Mildmay in 1981 and is now a partner
with Craig, McDonald, Reddon Insurance
Brokers in Formosa, Mildmay and Walker-
ton.
McDonald has been involved in Liberal
party politics for the past 12 years. He is
past president of the Liberal Association
and past -campaign chairman in 1979 and 80.
He was a delegate to the June '84 Leader-
ship Convention in Ottawa and currently
serves as vice president of the Western On-
tario North Liberal Association.
McDonald told the Liberal audience,
"What you see is what you get." He said he
offers no illusions but offers, "youth, en-
thusiasm and vitality."
He said that the Liberal party is one of
"reform and renewal....our party has,
emerged renewed, revitalized....' t
The Liberal candidate emphasized that
government must be open to the people and
proposed that he would hold two• public
meetings a year and have two constituency
offices.
"The residents of Huron -Bruce pay the
MP's salaries," he noted.
McDonald stressed the need for free
enterprise, and said that the backbone of the
economy is based on agriculture and small
business. He said he is committed to the
preservation of the family farm. Family
farms, he noted, have been associated with
bankuptcy and foreclosure and government

with reasonable long and,short term credit.
• "small Ousifesses," he said, "create jobs
"and can expand oily foreign market. His campaign speech stressed, "equal
pay for equal work of equal value" and also
emphasized that Canada cannot allow:
tine t. +loyment to destroy people's dignity
and i sillusion young graduates,
McDonald said that the close association
Huron -Bruce has to Agriculture Minister
Ferguson from neighboring Lambton,
Middlesex could be beneficial to the riding.
"I'm concerned about the betterment. of
this riding," he said.
He emphasized, "Huron -Bruce needs a
thorough, active MP with a voice of asser-
tiveness and knowledge. Citizens of Huron -
Bruce have been on the wrong side of the
house for too long."
He concluded his nomination speech by
saying, "I did not enter this race to lose. I'm
not a token candidate."
McDonald's opponent in the Huron -Bruce
Liberal nomination race was Heather
Redick, 37, of Zurich.
A Huron County resident for 12 years, she .
has spent the last 10 years as general
manager at the Huron Country Playhouse in
Grand Bend.
She said that the issues facing the Cana-
dian government include the fight against
, acid rain, education, rights and concerns of
women, (particularly farm `women); the
creation of new jobs, world peace and the
strengthening of the petro industry.,",
She noted that in Huron -Bruce the main
area of concern is the family farm. She said
that the farm was, "essential to 'the life-
blood and economy of all Canadians....the
family farm is•a unit that must be maintain-
ed and enhanced."
Mrs. Redick also supported the need for
improvements at the Goderich harbor. She
noted that Goderich was the hub of Huron -
Bruce and the harbor services and business
were essential to the riding.
Guest speaker; Senator Ann Cools told the
audience, "All good politicians have lost one
time or another....politics is a tough, dif-
ficult business....it belongs to those who
have enough stamina."
She noted that politics don't give many
rewards, "The greatest reward is doing
what you have to do to make society a little
bit better."
Murray Cardiff, left, was acclaimed as candidate for the Huron -Bruce Progressive Con-
servatives in Brussels July 23. The MP will represent the riding at the next federal
election in September. Congratulating Mr. Cardiff is Kevin Campbell, newly elected
president _of the Young Progressive Conservatives of Huron -Bruce. (Photo by Ron
