Riddell pl dies t
BY PATRICK RAMS
,Provineiat Agriculture Minister Jack
RiddelLeendemned the idea of free trade
with the United States and pledged to use
theysources of his ministry to oppose the
concept, in a strongly -worded speech to
the.IHuron County Dairy Producers annual
meeting, on Friday, February 28, in
Brussels. • -
"There has never been anything I have
been more concerned about than free
trade with the United States," said the
MPP for Huron -Middlesex. "The ultimate
goal of the free trade movement as far as
the U.S. is concerned, is that Canada will
become part of the states," according to
comments Riddell said he has heard from
Americans.
"Unless we're very careful about what
we allow to be traded away, it could very
well boil down to 'Goodbye East-West.
Hello North-South,' " Riddell said, of the
' possible effects of the free trade proposal.
Loss of control over national resources is
one of the things Riddell fears will happen
to Canada, if border trade restrictions are
dropped. He said the United States is "run-
ning out of fresh water" and covets
Canada's abundant supply.
"There is nothing they would like more,
than to divert our fresh water supply, "
Riddell stated.
• Turning to the agriculture industry, Rid-
dell . theorized free trade would play havoc
with both producers and processors of food
m this country.
"After putting years of work and financ-
ing into a supply management system
which lends stability iu the industry --
would be a crime if it had to be refor-
mulated or scrapped altogether, to ac-
commodate a free trade agreement. We
don't want to have the uncertainties and,
fluctuations of the American dairy in -
fight free trade

Riddell said the current system of supp-

has, "more than proven its worth over the
years," and should be retained.

Riddell contends. Canadian processors
"can't. hold a candle to the processors in
the U.S.," because of the modern equip-
ment and low labor costs available south of
the border, he said.
If the Canadian processing industry is
undermined by American competition,

Food producers are not the only' ones If the processing is taken over by the

Carnival rides will be reconsidered
• from page 3
fected by the rides receive a tax credit, the
midway be rotated equally around The
Square to share the burden or the midway
be moved off The Square, which is a vital,
roadway for Goderich's citizens and
visitors.
"We're civic -minded and ready to sup-
port any club but there must be another
way. Rieck Pharmacy can't afford the
losses. I'm sure a more reasonablecourse
of action can be found," he said.
Coun. Jim Searls asked Stringer why he
hadn't attended any BIA meetings with his
concerns.
"We shot it around for a long time and
tried' to please everyone. You had ample
time in three years to come to our
meetings," he said. '
Searls also suggested Suncoast Mall
might be interested in having its' parking
lot used as.a site for the carnival.
Deputy -Reeve John Doherty said taking
the midway off. The Square was an idea
worth thinking about since 18 years ago
when the Kinsmen held their carnival on
East Street, the club enjoyed its most
financially successful carnival ever.
Fulker said' the noise level of the car-
nival discouraged business at the theatre.
-How can You watch a movie with the
ferris wheel going. The last time the car-
nival was in front of the theatre, people left
during the movie," he said.
He added that he would be willing to put
up with the c enival once every five or six
years if the midway was rotated around
The Square equally.
Whatever decision is made should be
made soon since the Kinsmen must have
enough time to plan their carnival, said
Doherty.
Coun. Peter McCaeley asked for input
from the fire department about fire routes
on The Square.
