Bolton boosts IVDP hopes
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
An active feminist, 32 -year-old mother of
two Valerie Bolton, is taking her first leap
into federal politics.
Ms. Bolton is the New Democratic
Party's candidate in the federal riding of
Huron -Bruce for the Sept. 4 federal election.
A part-time employee of Women Today,
Ms. Bolton is also a researcher for a con-
ference called Turning Point. She is also
writing a booklet on rural women's groups
in Ontario. She and her husband,` farmer
and bricklayer Dean Walker, have alarm at
RR 1, Belgrave where they raise their two
daughters, Monica, 7, and Amber, 4.
`Not an Ontario native, Ms. Bolton was
raised in Vancouver. She moved to Ontario
10 years ago after traveling and working m
Australia for a year and a half.
ISSUES
The NDP candidate said the only way to
resolve the federal deficit in the long run is
to make a commitment to provide jobs.
NDP leader Ed Broadbent, said Ms. Bolton,
has said that all that party's proposed pro-
gram would cost $1 billion. Most of that
money, said the Huron -Bruce candidate
would be to put people back to work.
Putting the federal economics question in
perspective with the local economy, Ms.
Bolton said if farmers received a "fair
return" on their labor, there wouldn't be the
financial crisis there is across the country.
Some methods of solving the farmers
economic woes, said :Ms. Bolton, are to
create a central selling agency for red meat
and to ensure farmers greater access to
lower cost loans. The candidate said Canada
needs a government that is sensitive to the
economic conditions of farmers.
However, she stresses that not only
farmers, but small business people should
have the same access to lower cost loans as
do the large corporations.
Valerie Bolton
The NDP, said the Huron -Bruce can-
didate, would also "restrict the powers of
the bank to force farmers out of business".
Ms. Bolton becomes impassioned when
speaking on women's issues.
"The New Democrats will ensure an ac-
tive and systematic enforcement of equal
pay for work of equal value legislation," she
states.,
"We've got to take action immediately.
( Prime Minister John) Turner has said he
prefers to negotiate on the basis of goodwill.
We have waited 20 years for that good will,"
said Ms. Bolton.
Continuing on the subject of equality in
the work force for women, the mother of two
said women can't wait until there is an
economic upswing before they receive equal
a
p Ms. Bolton says, of course, both non-
working men and women should be able to
contribute to the Canada Pension Plan.
When asked fpr her opinion on por-
nographic material, the NDP candidate
answered there are two major issues facing
women in today's society. The first is
economic equality and the second is the.
violence to women in society, she said.
Most people aren't aware of the
repulsiveness of pornographic material said
Ms. Bolton.
"We've legislated against other hate
literature and we must legislate against
this," said. Ms. Bolton referring to por-
nographic material as hate literature not
only against women, but the male and
female child. She added that pornography is
as insulting to men as it is to women.
Ms. Bolton said one of the most important
freedoms people have is the control of their
own bodies. And women should have the
right to decide the number and spacing of
their children, she said in giving her opinion
on abortion.
As a mother, she knows the kind of com-
mitment needed to raise children.
While she does talk pro -choice, Ms. Bolton
adds that there should also be more
research on "quality and effective" birth
control as well as an adequate education on
birth control for young people.
If elected as MP, Ms. Bolton said she
would take the concerns, issues and needs of
the Huron Bruce riding to the national level.
"As a community organizer, I have
knowledge of what makes a community
healthy and strong," said the NDP can-
didate.
She would, said Ms. Bolton, encourage the
community members to support one
another in problems and work together to
make necessary changes in government.
Libertarians are out there-Yundt
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
Libertarians are out there, but they don't
know they are Libertarians, said the Huron-
-,Bruce candidate campaigning under that
political party's banner.
Joe Yundt, 43, of RR 3 Brussels is running
his third election campaign although only
his first in Huron -Bruce.
A believer in freedom of individuals with
government only providing a "good" justice
system and an army for outside aggression,
Mr. Yundt said he is providing an
,alternative to the main three political
parties in Canada.
Formerly a professional engineer in
Brampton, where he twice ran as • a
Libertarian candidate, the separated man
came to Huron County three years ago to
farm.
He has 40 head of cattle on his farm and
grows beans as well as mixed grains.
The Libertarians candidate said he was
raised in the Monkton area in Perth County
and while growing up had always had the
notion that Canada was a free country. Mr.
Yundt said he grew up and found out this
country is not free.
"I can't milk a cow and sell the milk to
you," said Mr. Yundt adding that "people
with guns" would put him in jail if he sold
milk without quota or for not having the
milk pasteurized.
When it was pointed out that dairy
farmers themselves originally wanted the
quota system, Mr. Yundt countered that
milk quotas were initially set up to protest
the producers. He compared it to his own
profession which has an association to
protect engineers.

ISSUES
When dealing with specific issues, Mr.
Yundt often repeated his philosophy, based
on the writings of Ayn Rand, on having less
government.
He termed the federal deficit "absolutely
ridiculous" and said it could be paid off by
selling crown corporations like Canadair.
As for the government job creation
programs, Mr. Yundt simply says that's not
the government's business.
"The government can't create jobs. It
shouldn't have anything to do with creating
jobs," said the Libertarian candidate.
Equal pay for work of equal value
legislation is dictating one person's wishes
on to somebody else says Mr. Yundt. •
He. explained that if he wanted to hire
someone, male or female, at 50 cents an
hour and that person accepted that wage,
then the government shouldn't be involved.
Mr. Yundt doesn't only think that non-
working women shouldn't contribute to the
Canada yension Plan, but no one should be
forced into paying it. He said the plan should
be voluntary as are insurance plans. The
candidate said OHIP and Unemployment
Insurance benefits should also be made
voluntary.
"The government shouldn't have the right
to make me pay it," he said.
The restriction of pornographic material,
Mr. Yundt said, should not be controlled by•
government. He verbally pointed to George
Orwell's 1984 and said controlling
pornography is bringing Orwell's fantasy to
life.
Mr. Yundt was pensive on the question of
abortion noting it is a tough subject for him
to make a response to. He explained that
Libertarians believe in not hurting another
person. A woman, said the candidate, has to
live with a decision made to abort a
pregnancy. The Libertarian remains unsure
if a fetus is a person or not.
Mr. Yundt said the government shouldn't
be in the business of giving gifts or
controlling banks, or printing what he
termed fiat money. Fiat money is paper
made into legal tender as is Canadian
money.
The Libertarian said if he printed money
he would be arrested. He suggested gold or
something of value be used to make
necessary purchases.
The Libertarian said if there is less
government taxes will be reduced.
"With less government it will be easier for
farmers to farm," said Mr. Yundt.
If elected MP, the candidate said he'd "do
away with silly legislation and try and make
a better country."
He doesn't expect to win though. In the
last elections he was in, he received 243
out of a possible 66,000 votes.
"At least 'I beat the Marxist-Leninist and
the Communist candidates," he -said.
Mr. Yundt won't be doing any door-to-door
canvassing and has no committee rooms. He
'' is considering invitations he has received
for all -candidate meetings.
He has, he said, just made sure his name
is on the ballot.
