Feedback
and other urban residents, even to
those in small towns within the
farming communities who only relate
"farming" to boots covered with
manure and hay bales lying on cut
fields. There's way more to farming
than that!
Many kudos to all those who
worked on the planning and organi-
zation and set-up of the IPM. From
start to finish, what an impressive
accomplishment! 0

World government
no answer
Re: Keith Roulston's column on
world government (October '93)
I'm afraid I have to disagree with
Keith on this one. One world gov-
ernment would only make things
easier for multinationals to "buy"
politicians at the centre of govern-
ment. Rather, the best solution is
exactly the opposite: more local
government and community
activities.
This means:
• educating the Canadian public not
to spend their dollars with
multinationals but to support local
and small foreign producers instead
• controlling your own spending in
the same way
The only way people can be saved
from being enslaved by big corpora-
tions is to save themselves. This is
similar to what happened during the
industrial revolution when mass
manufacturing based on scientific
advances allowed for the develop-
ment of a city -based middle class.
Nowadays when so much mass
production takes place in third world
countries with no human rights, the
only way to fight the low wage
competition is to encourage a new
culture of buying from cottage
industies. Rural people have to cut
out the middlemen and go for the
market! 0
