(Bill 8's Implementation Procedures Manual indicates that two positions in five may be classified as bilingual.) Fran- cophones will be awarded these positions while bilingual Englishaspeaking Ontarians will not because Francophones will be the better bilinguists. This anomaly will be due to the different language learning en- vironments experienced by English- speaking and French-Canadian citizens; the latter is usually immersed in English in everyday life while the former usually only encounters French in a classroom for a few hours a week. Also, and most important, the Federal Government, through the Secretary of State's office, is generously funding (well over $1 million per year) such militant organizations as 1'Association Canadienne- francais de 1'Ontario (AFCO) and the Cana- dian Parents • for . French to lobby ag- gressively for more and more Francopho services and Francophone employment, in the public domain. LETTERS The ramifications of the above factors for English-speaking Ontarians is frightening. Particularly frightening is that Fran- cophones will be greatly advantaged in ac- quiring jobs in the public service and in ris- ing to positions of power in any hierarchy encompassing Official Bilingualism. One has only to observe'what is happening on the Federal scene to appreciate the truth in the previous statement. And one need only read Bill C-72, a Bill to revamp the Official Languages Act, to appreciate the expansive nature of Official Bilingualism. Bill C-72, not yet in force but has had lst Reading in the House on 26th of June this year, has among several other equally incredible provisions to beef -up the Act, these: a recognition of the primacy of the Act over all other Federal laws; the right of public servants to work in their own language; the equal par- tigipation of both official language groups in .the public service. If Ontario adopts Official Bilingualism then future premiers, govern- ment leaders, public service heads, etc. will in a few years have to be fluently bilingual ( thus, most likely, Francophones ). Is that what we Ontarians really want? Fellow Ontarians, I strongly urge you to acquaint yourselves with Bill 8 and learn about this Draconian law that is now a part of Ontario's history, a law that was passel when only 55 members off the 125 member legislature were present to vote, a law that when fully iinplemented in 1989 will be short of Official Bilingualism only in name. Once acquainted with Bill 8 you will be shocked that our Government is subjecting us to this heavy-handed, exorbitantly expensive, and discriminatory legislation to placate a declining 5 per cent minority population, mostly fully bilingual, which has no more claim to language rights than any other ethnic group in Ontario. If you think as I do, then please contact your elected representatives, provincial and municipal, and demand that they start work today on your behalf to have Bill 8 replaced. Donald F.

It is digusting and revolting. Surely advertis- ing income isn't of such importance that "anything" goes — "Ladies Nite Out" of this caliber does not belong in a local weekly paper. I'm disappointed.
