"Definitely NO, there may be
good points in the accord but
endorsing it at this time is
like signing a blank cheque
that will be payable for years
and years to come. I strongly
disagree with the proposed
seat allocation in the House
of Commons and the fact
that in the proposed new
Senate certain senators effec-
tively will have two votes on
selected issues. Let's face it,
if all the doom and gloom the
YES politicians are threaten-
ing us with as a result of a no
vote were true, do you really
think they'd give us the vote
at all? I'm confident that the
. sun will shine -on Canada on
the 27th."

"I'm not sure yet. We have
some information corning
from the 1-800 number but
it has not arrived yet. I don't
like the way it is set up with
only a yes or no.answer. It is
not a black and white issue
there is some grey. We can't
sacrifice one for the other."
Roy Hider
Grand Bend
"No. I disapprove of the ap-
proval of legislation section
which says bills that material-
ly affect French language or
French culture would require
approval by a majority of
Senators voting and by a ma-
jority of the Francophone
Senators voting. The House
of Commons would not be
able to override the defeat of
a bill in this category by the
Senate."
Todd Desaulniers
Grand Bend
"Yes. For our country. To
keep Canada the best country
in the world and keep it to-
gether."
George Latta
Grand Bend
"Yes. I love Canada and I
want to keep it that way."
Lisa Tuckey

"1 don't know yet. We haven't
been given enough informa-
tion about the referendum to
decide"
Bob Mann
Grand Bend
"Yes. I'm voting for a better
Canada and against those
demagogues that are trying to
tear it apart.

"We are going to gather any in-
formation we can and contact all
sources, sit down, read it, discuss
it and decide from there. We
have received lots of information
but only what that informant
wants to tell us."
Bill Harwood
Grand Bend
"Yes. We have to do something
and this is a start in the right
direction."
