a first ministers conference just a few weeks isolating provinces and associating them with nazism Only Breeds a bad if the government fails to Dis Tance him from their i could see some problems at the Confer he its going to be up to Mulroney to show there is a Clear difference in what he says and what Reisman its just great to Tell the people of Canada that you Are encouraging Public debate on free Trade and then Send out some nut who goes out and pisses everyone an Ontario official open debate is supposed to allow people to make up own mind and respect that half opposed Peterson was at a Retreat preparing his throne speech to be read on monday in the Ontario legislature and could not be reached for com Federal surveys show half the country is opposed to a free Trade agreement and now the chief architect is associating anyone who sup ports or promotes that View with a the official anytime someone uses the word the charges Are very serious and very damaging and shows absolutely no
