Says comments misguided
Dear Editor,
Re: N. J. Minaker's letter
in your paper of August 19,
1981.
I would like to make some
observations on N. J.
Minaker's misguided com-
ments regarding Prime
Minister Trudeau's recent
visit to Africa and Tanzania
in particular.
First of all voodoo tom-
toms are unique to the Carib-
bean Islands, primarily
Haiti. The cult of voodoo is
unknown in Africa.'
As for Canada's aid grants
to Tanzania, they represent
one of the best possible steps
toward revitalizing the
Canadian economy. The
Canadian provincial attitude
in 'doing business, that our
markets end at Toronto or
Montreal and amiajor export
deal is the sale -of our raw
materials to •the United
States, has more to do with
our . economic woes than
most people realize.
By providing development
aid to countries such as Tan-
zania, we are building new
export markets, in addition
to making a better life for
the citizens of those Lesser
Developed Countries
(LDCs). Even in the short
run, much of the , project
equipment and expertise will
be purchased in Canada
from those very funds pro-
vided by Canada.
I think it important to also

note that many jobs right
here in Goderich are directly
dependent upon Canadian
aid to LDCs who are then in
turn capable of purchasing
Champion Road Graders.
Equipment with which they
can build the infrastructure
of their countries, thereby
expand their economies, and
in ,time repay Canada many
times our investment as
trading partners.
As for Canadian aid to
Cuba, Minaker might be in-
terested to know that Cana-
dian dairy breeders
benefited as much or more
through these programs as
did the Cubans. Cuba has
built a self-sufficient dairy
industry on the foundation of
early Canadian technical
assistance, funding aid 'and
so on. In so doing, they
became rightfully convinced
that Canadian stockmen pro-
duce the best dairy cattle in
the world. In- recent years
they have • become highly
competitive buyers of our
breeding stock in the world
market, buying many
animals themselves and in
so doing, pushing the value .
of our stock well above what
it once was.. The same ef-
fects may be seen in other
areas but I cite the dairy in-
dustry case only because it is
one with which'I happen to
be fairly familiar.
Turning to Gander and the
refueling of Cuban aircraft
at the time of the Angolan af-
fair; aircraft from all over
the world refuel at Gander
and Canada does not inspect
their cargos. It does not in-
spect Cuban planes bound
for Angola and it does not in-
spect American planes
bound for Europe and the
Middle East.
The important thing
Minaker should remember,
however, is that if the other
countries of the developed
world met Canada's per
capita contributions in aid to
the LDCs, Cuba would never
have been in Angola.
Canadian aid policies are
far-sighted, from both a
humanitarian and a business.
point of view. The Africans
in particular remember who
their friends are. Canada'
has been, and I hope will con-
tinue to be, a good friend to
Tanzania and other coun-
tries of the Third World. We
all stand to gain. ..

bus tour
Dear Editor,
We were recently in your
town and had a tour on the

We found it to be a very en-
joyable and informative ex-
perience, learning a great
deal about your town and its
history.
We hope the tours will con-
tinue as we have told our
many friends about them.
We are,
Yours sincerely, ,
