At OFA meeting
DUNGANNON - Tony McQuail
represented the Federal New Demo-
cratic Party at the October Directors
Meeting of the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture. Regional Directors
and Commodity Board Members
from across Ontario camc to hear
the representatives of the three ma-
jor parties. Liberal MP, Maurice
Foster and Conservative Candidate
and former MPP, Ross Stevenson
spoke for their parties.
The Trade Deal was the major
topic of concern to the Directors
with farm credit and crop insurance
also discussed. Tony McQuail, can-
didate in Huron -Bruce pointed out
that "we face a critical choice in thc
1988 election. The choice between
becoming an economic colony of
the US or continuing to build a bet-
ter society and cconomy in the
north half of this continent."
McQuail wcnt on to say that "the
Liberals and Torics arc just the
same. In the late 1970's and early
''Qrl's they decried high interest in
opt ;'ion but kept them high
'ger 'Icy were in government.
-n& r and Mulroney are just the
same. Mulroney opposed free trade
%.!ien he was trying to become
prink minister just like Turner to-
day. We can't trust them."
McQuail then outlined the New
Democrats Family Farm Protection
Policy. it is based on the belief that
family farmers should be able to
earn a fair return for their labour. 1t
includes target prices for crops, a re-
vitalized farm 'credit program and
support for orderly marketing.
