Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - February 18, 1967, Winnipeg, Manitoba Leisure Magazine Winnipeg free february 1967 11 an Al Canadian blood line sir w h at makes up Canada is it not composed of Etc dont we have the Black and yellow races Why did people come to Canada want it because most of them were looking for some thing better than the country they left since Man first set foot on our the blood lines began the French married into the Indian race the English married into the French the English married and so As the population and other races settled in jewish p e o p be married gentiles Black people married As the generations further the blood lines were mixed and stirred up some How Many of these now living in Canada can honestly classify them selves As English or unless they Are new to our country Why should they want to be called but canadians Why should they want to carry the old Way into a new land we Are continually warring Over the French language versus the English the French Are bemoaning the fact that they Are not Given equal rights across Canada private schools Freedom sir i am just an Ordinary Parent very much concerned about the treatment we Are getting from

the Only ones which do not receive a Penny from the Bill 16 or no Bill is this Freedom is this according to the ban act is this according to the Canadian Bill of rights what a Price for Freedom tax free sir i see by the that the opposition politicians in the Manitoba legislature have shown their True political character on 25 the social credit and nip opposition girded on its righteous Aimor and sallied Forth against the government re Garding tax free allowances for the i should say in passing though it might seem Mem Bers made sure the press was present to record the vote and thus attempt to show How they were again defending the Little no sooner had the vote been then the legislature then the opposition members left the Legisla Ture and made their Way Over to the lieutenant governors residence for a tax free cocktail the moral of the Story seems to be that if its for someone else its no but its Okay for Suh is the political honesty of our opposition Allan Denton Winnipeg High prices sir the homemakers protest committee has requested the Prairies Cost study commission to subpoena Premier Roblin and members of his Cabinet to investigate High taxes in Mani while they Are investigating other areas of the Cost of these commissions Are sex and the taxpayer is paying for so we want a thorough Job with some con Crete commissions Are the easiest Way for governments to Back out of we urge other Consumers to Send any evidence of overcharge misleading advertising and complaints the Prairie Cost study room court attention of All it takes for High prices to prevail is for enough Good people to do Barbara Winnipeg the governments Benevolence is our the five per cent sales tax will be our Money never do we get a Penny return for our we hoped the Centennial year would bring Justice to our we hoped that we would have our schools supported by government As they Are in the other eight Canadian the ban and the Manitoba act promised us our but what a foolish dream to expect Justice for schools in Manitoba the Canadian Bill of rights does not mean much to we Are treated As second rate if we want our children educated according to our con we have to pay a double is this Justice what about the help we were promised in the Macfarlane re port Laurent the la for wants Justice but the political expediency of the majority does not seem to understand what Justice the Canadian teachers federation was in Winnipeg last week to study the financing of Canadian education what irony if the teachers of Canada want to see a province which is unfair to its private they surely know where to i dont see How Manitoba can play Host to such distinguished educators from All of Canada and not Blush with Elisabeth Globins i Sham tour sir recently a group of volunteers from the open door club on Lombard Street were taken on a tour of the Selkirk Hospital for mental this tour consisted of a visit to Only one building on the the the brightest and the most congenial in this set apart from the is known As spi or Selkirk it is designed mainly for people of Short confinement and is indeed a Model of what we Hope will be the Norm in the it is in any shape or form a True representation of the Selkirk Hospital it does not even go under the same the tour was a Sham and a Complete waste of the prevailing conditions of the Hospital As a whole were very neatly concealed from the i wonder being a former patient i would like to see the doors of the Hospital open to those who Are genuinely inter perhaps then something will be done about the Short age of medical staff and the smelly buildings which constitute the Selkirk Hospital for mental Barclay Winnipeg because of the language they a that the Nort French must learn Arent they defeating their own purpose the English speaking groups would do Well to learn to master the French every language we can Leain to speak and write elevates us to a better level of but if we All Learned French just to appease it would be giving them less Job oppor unities instead of As Quebec preaches but does not always practise and As Many of their own people do not wish to or cannot speak English speaking canadians would then have the Job advantage because of being Able to speak two at present Quebe cers have the advantage Over living in a world where English is spoken most they have a better Chance to learn both if Quebec wants to retain the ways and customs of its Mother Why Doest it take advice from Charles do Gaulle he recently announced that More people Are learning to speak English in in order to Advance their is Quebec really fighting to retain the French or is it to be used More As a Means of domination than of Equality we regardless of religion or with a blood line All our if the French in Canada object to having to learn in spite of the fact that people of every other nationality desiring to be Canadian citizens have Learned the then let us All learn a n o t h or common such As it will give us a Good base for travelling anywhere in the world As Well As further elevating ourselves in this language and Woodlands no connection sir in your Issue of under the title the mayor of you question
