THE BLOOM IS OFF THE ROSE—These rose bushes, still in bloom, were covered in snow last
Friday morning in town.
Real losers in Huronview
debate didn't get a chance
Much has been said since Nov.
about "winners and losers" in th
Huronview issue. The real Doses
didn't get the attention the
deserve since the secondary win
ners and losers get all the press.
Who were the real losers? The
real losers are the two ladies who
were denied admission to the coun-
ty home and the many more who
will be. One application which was
denied was made by a 97-yea,r7o14
lady.
Further, county hospitals were
notified that admissions at' Huron -
view were being restricted for up to.
two years since only 182 residents
can be accommodated at the new
homes on opening day.
There are now empty beds at
2 October meeting of council made
e by the home administrator and the
s head of council that, "no one need-
y ing care would be affected" by the
- . decision to restrict admission?
The answer is the ministry peo-
ple have been led to believe that the
181 extended -care beds now at
Huronview are sufficient for the
needs of Huron County residents
when they are not. The new homes

If you, or any of your family,
need the services of the home in the
next two to three years, ask your-
self who are the losers. If you're still
unsure, ask the 97 -year-old lady
whose application was denied this
month because someone thought
we had to "stand tough" and cut

Free trade, GST will have
impact on home -heating bill
Dear Editor:
With the first frost and another
Canadian winter nearly upon us, I
would like to point out to your
readers a matter of public .policy
that has received little attention to
date.
It is the combined impact the
Mulroney free trade deal and the
proposed Goods and Services Tax
(GST) will have on your home heat-
ing bill — whether electric, gas or
oil.
For Canadian families, the pro-
posed Goods and Services Tax is
going to raise the price of winter
heating fuel and electricity by a full
nine per cent.
You may also remember the
debate about the energy sections of
the Canada -U.S. free trade deal that
raged across Canadalast fall. One
of the major concerns New
Democrats had about energy sec-
tions in the trade deal was that we
gave up our ability to set lower
prices for energy consumed by
Canadians.
After all, most other nations in
the world have the ability to charge
#port taxes on a valuable non-
renewable commodity like Oil or
natural gas. Export taxes Mean

fit most from Ciinada's energy sup-
plies.
Articles 903 and 904 of the trade
deal specifically prevent the federal
government from setting energy
export prices which are higher than
domestic prices. In Michael Wil-
son's technical paper outlining the
terms of the GST, it is made very
clear Canadians will pay the tax on
our fuel and the American con-
sumer will not.
Consider these sections from the
Goods and Services technical
paer:
"Since the cst is meant to apply
only to the consumption of goods
and services in Canada, supplies
made in Canada that are exports
will be categorized as zero-rated
supplies and will not lye singled to
the tax." Page 72

our goal of $5,000 in community

raising activities, in order to meet
our operating budget for this year.

those who need this additional
