Times-Adv • ate, Au ust 13, 1980 Po 4MA Vigorous protest of advert ising • campaign on constitution. final value in product promotion is the sales figure. There is not much concern for honour or dignity in this kind of marketing but surely in constitutional matters in a democratic state, honesty honour and dignity ought to matter - very much, So, I object strenuously to the simplification of issues and to the sentimental,trivial direction which the ad- vertisements lend to the issue, There are other objections as well, The tendency for governments • to use ad- vertising is dangerous, unfair and wrong. What we have now is an extension of election campaigns throughout the term of the government. The cam- paigners at election time are already too long, too ex- because it uses tax 'money for purely polotical ends, it wrong because it is, unfair to the opposition which clearly lacks the advantage of haVing tax money and the machinery of government toy express contrary views, The present advertising campaign purports to 'take the governments' message to the people. It is a shoddy attempt to by pass-all nor- mal procedures. It is an attempt to ignore and by- pass the parliament of Canada. It is also an at- tempted circumvention of the provincial positions on constitutional matters. The matter of going "to the people" over the parliament of Canada, and the provinces is not acceptable. "The people" do not want to deal with the issues involved; pensive and generally they cannot deal with them. uninformative. - There are procedures developed by parliamentary democracies; there are procedures for operations of the type we as a state are presently engaged in. - , Procedure is in a sense The government now uses public money throughout the term to perpetrate elec- tioneering and to seek continued power.

TERMS CASH Your Sincerely J.L. Wooden -V. Dear Sir: I must protest in the most vigorous possible way, • the use of public money to pay for this latest advertising campaign concerning the constitution. I'm sure there must be thousands of Canadians who resent most government advertising but are resigned to the use of the various media by various government departments; even so, the amount of money spent in this way is definitely out of hand. Beyond this level of annoyance,however,there is exteme anger with the government's most recent foray into the world of soap, beer and deodorants. The unctuous voice, uttering inanities about the con- stitution is infuriating. I expect much advertising annoys many people but to have_ the government of Canada reduce con- stitutional issues to the level of product' advertising is absurd and objectionable. This element is, however, the least important of the issues raised, although it is embarrassing as a Canadian to have a government which among other disabilities, also lacks taste. Mor9 serious con- siderations are raised by this. constitutional sales pitch. The advertising campaign, likealmost all spot television and radio commercials, is basically deceitful and dishonest in its simplistic approach. The issues involved should not be reduced to the kind of sentimental slop apparent in the advertisements, Most of the population is not equipped to deal with questions involving con- stitutional evolution. The government members have made a case, for example for patriotism but Mr. Trudeau has made silly remarks about this matter as he well knows, I'm sure, but I expect there are many people who are confused by these remarks. The federal government" urges the people in its ad- vertising programme to agree with the government position. No doubt there will be polls conducted which purport to show that the people agree with the federal position; mind you, I expect the questions will be worded in such a way 'that the desired results are obtained. Polls are meaningless fiddle- faddle anyway, since they too, reduce all issues to the lowest level of un- derstanding in order to obtain simple answers. Advertising, slogans, polls, simplification of complex issues are part of the governments propaganda machine. Propaganda has, of course, always been a tool of government since Caesar Augustus' time and, no doubt, before that, however, the manipulative techniques of government propaganda have become smoother, more subtle and, thus, more dangerous. The government may well get the desired results by use of its' market research techniques, but these results will have been obtained by deceitful exploitation using methods that manipulate the people. These manipulative techniques of the huckster, the marketing expert are undoubtedly successful but success obtained through this kind of direction or manipulation lacks honesty, honour, and dignity. The what democracy is chiefly about. Impatience with procedure is understandable but the rules and procedure of a parliamentary democracy whilst often causing delays are protective devices, The manipulation of the people, to avoid the procedures of a democracy takes us on the road toward tyranny. Tyrants have always told the people what is good for them in subtle and not ,so subtle ways. I object to the government of Canada's advertising programme on all of the above grounds. I resent its cost and I resent its im- position upon the people. Thank you for your attention Yours truly J.L.

BOX 1600 NOM -150 c DD 0 I • • Dear Bill: I noticed ybur editorial concerning the advertising programmes of the provincial government, Whilst the attached letter is addressed to the office of the Prime Minister of Canada it, nevertheless, is concerned with the same issue, viz„ the propriety of governments in power using the manipulative methods of "product advertising." I believe the present massive use by governments in power of the, sophisticated arsenal of weapons used by the market researcher and advertiser to be dangerous. It is dangerous because it reduces all issues, no matter how complex to simple terms. It is also un- conscionably expensive in terms of public funds. . In any case I thought you might be/interested in the letter.
