Last say for federal candidates
With the federal election set for
next Monday, November 21, the
Tidies Advocateconducted brief in-
- lerviews with the four candidates in
the Huron -Bruce riding and their
comments follow.
Incumbent Murray Cardiff repre-
senting the Progressi' a Conserva-
tives said there has been a change in
• the last week in main concerns of
the electors he has talked to. .
Cardiff indicatcd there Was a
swing from Free Trade to concern;;
in thc'-economy and the environ-
ment.
He continued, "We have,to put
more Priority 'on confidence in our
economy and the Canadian dollar
along with job creation and devcl=
opmcnt." -
Cardiff concluded, " All of us, the
government and. citizens have to
play a strong,rolc in ensuring a bet-
ter environment. Strong leadership
has to be given.
Liberal candidate Ken Dunlop dis-
agreed with Cardiff saying Pre
Trade was still the most important
issue confronting voters ori ovem-
ber 21.
On Free Trade he ssfd, " Those
• few who do understand the deal arc
very concerned and the others who
do not know all about it are very
concerned that thcy will bc_voting
not knowing what the repercussions
could be."
Dunlop continued, "The question
really should be how far do you
want your country to go and how
closely associated with the United
States.
Dunlop listed other concerns as
the closing of rural post offices and
lthe current state of agriculture:
In.closing he added,'' The nation-
al a paign, has been less than gen-
tleml,nly, but the candidates in this
riding have been very courteous.
After the election !hope we can all
.remain as friends.
New Democratic candidate Tony
McQuail said his party has a man-
date to represeht the ordinary peo-
plc. He added, "That's why. our par-
ty was formed to represent them
after an election."
McQuail said, '1 have found a
positive response on the street. We
find John Turner's campaign not
reputable."
On Free Trade, the NDP candidate
said "It will put more power in the
hands of .big business.. We cam-
paigned at fall fairs against the deed
even before the election was
called."
McQuail concluded, "It's exciting
that pcoplcare much more aware of
our party as we list our concerns on
the economy, and the environment.
The farm community is tired of
band-aids. We need programs to
provide fair returns for our agricul-
tural products.
Tom Clark, running for the
Christian Heritage party, singles
cl
out abortion and the deficit as the
two issues of paramount impor
Lance.
He and his party consider abortion
to be murder, and want the criminal
code to reflect that.
"Our government has the audacity
to condemn South Africa for apart-
heid, and at the same time allows
the killing of up to 80,000 unborn
a year. That's the height of hypoc-
risy", Clarksaid in a phone inter-
view. •
Clark wants the death penalty re-
stored,' terming abortion
"premeditated murder".
Clark is also very concerned about
the federal deficit, noting that the
Conservatives have added 132 bil-
lion to the 200 -billion total legacy
when they took office four years
ago. His party would "drastically
reduce the size of govemment".
Clark said his reception on the
campaign trail has been unbelievea-
ble. He reported that "50 percent of
those I talked to are so disillusioned
they arc ready to change party. They
arc starting to wake up to what is
happening in Ottawa".
