editor Murray Burt managing editor Rudy Redekop controller editor a Maceachen in a Box almost two years after he helped scuttle the last attempt of a Canadian government to bring Down a budget worthy of the finance minister Allan on will present canadians with his prescription to solve their growing economic those months of budgetary inaction have left him very Little room for for the past year or canadians have been subjected to a policy of monetarism by they have been feeling the effects of absurdly High interest Noj because the government necessarily believes in them but because its action in some and its inaction in have made them by defeating the conservative attempt to adopt a fiscal policy which offered Hope for moderating the size of the Federal deficit in the medium and by failing to take Strong fiscal measures a year the liberals in Ottawa have placed inordinate responsibility for controlling inflation on the Bank of the record interest rates of the last few months have been the by adopting Energy policies which led to a massive outflow of Canadian dollars to import foreign Oil and to buy foreign Oil he governments policies have helped make Canada More vulnerable to the tight monetary policies followed by the administration and have also helped keep interest rates whether they Are adopted deliberately or by Ultra restrictive monetary policies do have an effect and the effects in Canada Are suddenly being Felt with a statistics Canada reported last week that unemployment in october Rose to per cent of the labor and that the country has experienced an astonishing slowdown in key sectors of the the housing Industry is a massive layoffs now taking place May push the unemployment rate even closer to record the which High interest rates Are designed to has arrived and May be a Good Deal sharper than the government planned it would to an that recession will help bring Down the High interest rates that produced the sudden economic downturn Likely to forestall any dramatic action by the government still needs to signal its and its to keep its deficit under control but significant tax increases would simply push the country deeper into he still needs to curb government but places to Cut significantly Are hard to Maceachen would like to push some of the Federal deficit onto the provinces by slashing contributions to share Cost but both a parliamentary committee and some of his own colleagues in Cabinet have told him he had better the minister has hinted in the past that he would like to bring about some fundamental tax closing Many loopholes and slashing so called tax is not the time to do investors have undergone enough shocks in the past year without being subjected to the uncertainty that would be created by wide ranging tax while Maceachen has to be cautious about raising he also has to avoid the dramatic efforts at economic stimulus that might normally be inspired by the past weeks economic governments Are Seldom Wise to base Lon term fiscal policy on recent shifts in the those that have done so in the past have too often found themselves heading off sharply in the wrong direct Large tax cuts which would increase the deficit would leave the government once again facing a Choice Between allowing the value of the Dollar to with its resultant inflationary or allowing interest rates to Bounce Back into the 20percent the one thing the minister does have to work with is the Prospect of substantially increased Revenue from Oil and natural Gas Over the next few that will not mean much in the coming year something less than a billion bit Over the next four or five twill mean a substantial flow of new Revenue to the Federal coffers which ought to enable him to provide evidence Over the medium the size of the budget deficit can be brought Maceachen is by nature a Over the past several that caution has approached the irony is that All those months of fiscal inaction have left him very Little room for action in his new is unfairness perhaps now that the Manitoba motor league has officially placed itself on record As opposing an unusual regulatory advantage aut Opac has Over the provincial government May be willing to look at the writing in the first Issue of the leagues new the league says that the liability for any Accident should remain with the insurer even if the vehicle is insured incorrectly or used incorrect Eastman is referring to a situation that is All too common with monopoly government insurance the onus for buying the Correct and for operating the vehicle within the limits of that rests entirely with the in where the government stands As a Buffer Between motorists and the private insurance the onus is on the company to make sure the vehicle is insured even if the vehicle is operated contrary to the Fine print in the insurance the company is still liable for the Ontario insurance companies can then charge Correct premiums an example would be motorists in Manitoba and Ontario each insure a if the Van contains seating capacity in the higher rates in any Motorist who deliberately under insures by ignoring the or under insures because he is not aware that different rates simply has no insurance at in if a mistake occurs deliberately or the company is liable for the first Accident and is free to adjust the Premium on a retroactive Eastman cites Manitoba practice of issuing insurance for pleasure driving preferred rate that does not cover automobiles that Are driven to and from Eastman says while aut Opac charges lower rates for driving that is primarily for the government Agency interprets primarily As meaning what this Means is that anyone who rarely takes his car to the but has an Accident when he will probably find himself although the Manitoba court of Appeal has declared a Klopacs practice to be the Agency Hopes simply to have the Law rewritten to permit continued use of the Eastman that is unacceptable in my it is also and has been for some in the View of Many critics of the compulsory automobile insurance plan in this Eastman also issued a Call for policies outlining the terms of the insurance to be written for aut Opac insure is an old complaint against the insurance a Motorist in Manitoba May receive a card saying he is but if he wants to find out what he is insured for he must plough through several different acts of the Manitoba legislature and the Small Mountain of accompany ing when other governments Force their insurance companies to Issue Plain language it should be within the ability of governments that run monopolies in automobile insurance to do the to Challenge Premier Lyons Promise to foot the Bill for court costs if the Federal government tries to shut Down Northern television receivers is a clearcut statement of provincial policy on the As is his Promise to Issue provincial licences to Cable companies to carry programs that the Federal govern ment will not the statement suffers Only from the fact that it was made on the Campaign rather than before the recent hearings of the Canadian radio television and telecommunications commission in Winnipeg that were called specifically to hear applications for satellite television in Remote and under serviced areas of the at these hearings the province was that the Premier had to go so far As to Promise provincial indicates that either he is convinced that the new Constitution will Delegate such communication matters to provincial or having been made aware of his governments oversight at the crts he is now going to drive the Issue Home with a As Long As the Manitoba Telephone system remains in the business of renting satellite dishes and distribution equip ment to and As Long As its does not appoint itself As a secondary Federal policeman to influence where these dishes will be the Premier can be fairly sure that he is protecting the right of particularly Northern to watch what they it is highly unlikely that any Federal Agency would order a Federal police Force to seize equipment owned by a provincial Crown the premiers message that his government favors the decriminalization of television watching in Canada will be most Welcome in the Northern half of the it is to be hoped that it will with equal to the rest of the province As the perception of just what is adequate television service varies from individual to Indi and it is just As wrong to Sanction it at the level now available in the South As it would be to enforce a much lower level in the and when the Pequi stes come to Federal Power and youre prime minister the rest

Robertson was not very close to her Kenneth Leishman subject and prudently made this admission by calling it a mythologized literary jargon this Rush into print to Cash in on Leishman tragic death in

that Robertson had been criticized for Attri buting to Leishman the use of words such As gee and she said this was the Way people of kens class and background spoke in the 1950s and i would have
