Letterhead dated 1913 for H. Leitch's Cornwall Livery Stables. Hugh Leitchwrote: The town of Cornwall is admirably adapted to the pleasure of ridingand driving, and the livery. My stable is recognized as a model inconstruction, equipment and management. Every convenience is providedfor the use of patrons. I have 12 horses all of superior stamp, good goers, freefrom vice and sound in wind and limb, ensuring that some of the finest horsesto be seen on the streets of this town are from my stable. I offer fine up-to-date rubber tired runabouts, surreys, hacks with good horses constantly kepton hand. I specialize in turnouts for weddings and funerals.

Local Artists heard at City Hall! OnMonday September 12th the SeawayCultural Arts Committee presented toCity Council. The SCAC is an organizationof local artists who support and amultiple use arts and culture centre inour community. The SCAC has anexecutive who has regular meetings,has met with various arts and cultureorganizations in the area, has doneresearch and visited other arts and

culture centres in Ontario and Quebec, and has done somepreliminary fund-raising too. I am proud to be a foundingmember of this organization. I think our message at City Hall wasclear, our membership consists of hardworking and dedicatedcommunity people, knowledgeable in both business and arts,and that we want to apply and hopefully be welcomed toparticipate in any newly formed municipal Arts Council.

Agape will be a 24 hour famine that will begin at 6:00pm on Saturday October1st and will continue until 6pm October 2nd. There will be pledge formsavailable at the Agapè Center. We request that all participants raise aminimum of $10 to take part in the event. Participants are invited to stayovernight for the entire 24 hours but it is not required. Those who areinterested in only participating for a few hours are more than welcomed to.During the 24 hours there will be many activities and events to keep everyoneentertained.”

A close race? The latest Nanos poll on Ontario's election (Sept 9th) puts theConservatives at 35.4%, The Liberals at 31.9%, and the NDP at 22.8%. TheLiberals are 3.54 behind the PCs, and the NDP are 12.6 behind the lead. Thiscould be a close three way race in many ridings! Will it be a close race in SDSG?It is starting to look that way!

Conservatives hope to cut CBC! Heritage Minister James Moore said, “theCBC, has to be part of the strategic review and find five per cent. The idea thatthe CBC can't find five per cent efficiencies within the CBC to give back to thebroader economic framework is silly." What is 5% to the CBC? Well that is 60million dollars! Running TV, radio, and top notch internet broadcasting isexpensive. $60 million is five times the cost of running CBC Radio Two, or 30%of CBC Radio One. Does anyone remember what Minister Moore said beforethe election? He said this, “We believe in the national public broadcaster. Wehave said that we will maintain or increase support for the CBC. That is ourplatform... and we will commit to that.” It only took him nine weeks after beingelected to change his mind. If you support the CBC, I would suggestcontacting your member of Parliament and letting them know!

interviews our former

MPP - retiring from

Provincial Politics!Article and photo by Jason Setnyk.

On Saturday September 10thJason Setnyk sat down withMai-Liis and Julia at the Grindin downtown Cornwall andinterviewed Jim Brownell who

is no longer officially our Member ofProvincial Parliament after the writ was dropped earlier in the

week. Here is Part I of the Interview.

Jim Brownell: I'm sitting here right now, not having the MPP title. That left onwrit day, on Wednesday (September 7th). Twelve Noon on that day we becamenon functioning MPPs. Although we're still have our office open until theelection, our title disappears. (The exception to that are the Cabinet Ministers).

Brownell who has served two terms provincially as MPP of SDSG has a coupleof special events happening this September. His art collection is on display ata Cornwall venue and many of his paintings were displayed at his office inQueens Park.

Jim Brownell: We had the official opening at the Centre culturel de Cornwall.I am a believer of the arts in the community, I love the arts, I want to take visualarts someday, I want to paint someday. My brother was a very well knownartist, but he is more famous now in death than in life. He died thirteen yearsago, and you can hardly touch his paintings anymore at auction sales becausethey are so expensive. I had two of his paintings, and many artists paintings atQueens Park and at my office here in Cornwall. There are about 35 pieces at theFranco Cultural Centre and it’s there for the month of September. So I amencouraging people to come out, explore the three united counties, most ofthem are landscapes or buildings that relate to Stormont, Dundas, andGlengarry.

Also happening this month, on Friday September 16th there is going to bethe first ever Brownell night in Cornwall at Schnitzels. The event starts at7:30pm.

Jim Brownell: My staff wanted to have a little party with me. Every Brownellnight, we’ve sent messages out on Facebook, and many people have repliedsaying sorry but why don’t you have one in Cornwall or why don’t you have on

in the riding. Kathleen Hay especially, she better show up!

All the previous Brownell nights took place in Toronto. The final Brownell night inToronto had a very special guest.

Jim Brownell: We had Brownell nights once a month in Toronto at the Duke of York. Wehad many folks from different offices at Queen's Park. It's a great networkingopportunity. In fact, on June 16th, my last Brownell night, the Premier of the Provincecame out and had a beer with me. His son had been there a number of times. He's quitea friend of my office staff, and he is a lawyer now in Ottawa. He got out that Friday andcame to Toronto. He was the first one that showed up at seven o'clock. The Premierdidn't come in till ten o'clock. Word got around. The Premier's security detail came in.One guard stood at the bottom of the stairs of the pub at the landing, and word justspread fast. Everyone thought the Premier was coming. So all of a sudden, the crowdparted, and in walks the Premier with his shirt sleeves down. He rolls up his sleeves andsays, what gives here, and I said would you like a beer Premier? He sat down and had abeer with me. It was wonderful. He gave a nice toast. It was a wonderful experience anda great feeling that what I did at Queens Park meant something to the Province. I knowsome people around the community have said some nice things about me, but to havethe Premier come out and do that, was the icing on the cake.

Jason Setnyk: Please share with us your background.

Jim Brownell: I grew up on a farm, one of twelve kids. I went off to teacher's college. Iwanted to go to University, but couldn't afford it. When I got into teaching, I decided Iwas going to go into University. I got three degrees there at Ottawa U, a B.A., B.ED., andan M.ED. Life was a little tough when I was growing up. I had a big family, so it was work-work-work. A good work ethic is a good asset to have. I got married in 1974 in October,and I ran for election in November. My wife didn't know politics was a part of thebaggage of marriage. I won that election as a councillor, in the township of Cornwall. SoI served two years, and our first baby was born in 1976.

In 1988 I went back (to politics). I ran as deputy reeve, they call it mayor now, and servedsix years, and then ran for Reeve and served another six years. Then we amalgamatedtwo municipalities in the last election on municipal council. We had amalgamatedOsnabruck township and Cornwall township. I ran in that election and won that bigelection of the two townships coming together. To work on the amalgamation and thento win that election was a big thrill. I retired from teaching in 2000, and I thought therest of my life was going to be volunteerism, and doing this and doing that, andexploring the world. It was a short lived retirement because in 2002 John Cleary theMPP decided he was going to retire. People approached me wondering if I would carrythe banner and seek the nomination.

I got the nomination and had a great first campaign in 2003 and 2007. I had someunfinished business and I wanted to continue to explore. It's now time to retire. I havesome health issues, and two little grand kids. My dad never lived to see his grand kids,There was a six year old at home when he died, and my mother, there were eight kids athome when he died. She worked hard. I thought to myself I want to see my grand kids,and I want my grand kids to grow up and know who I was.

Jason Setnyk: Did politics have an impact on your teaching career or did teachinghave an impact on your political career?

Jim Brownell: I had a big interest in politics before I ever became a teacher. In fact Ithink my teaching experience was enhanced by me becoming a community leader onthe political scene. If you taught social studies or if you taught history, or geography,you could use a lot of those things you learned on the political scene in your classroom.My students were always excited that not only was I there teacher in the classroom, butI was doing all these other things outside the classroom that they could talk about inschool. They liked that.

Jason Setnyk: What was it like being elected in 2003, not only as our MPP, but as apart of the governing Liberals?

Jim Brownell: It was an exciting time to know you were going to be with somebodywho had a fresh face like Dalton McGuinty did at the time, and fresh ideas, but it was a

long process in 2003 waiting for the writ to be dropped. At that time we didn't havefixed election dates. I had a campaign office down on Montreal Road for a yearbefore the election. We had to wait and wait and wait for Ernie Eves who took overafter Mike Harris to call the election. The wait was very difficult. I had to be kind ofin election mode for that whole year. It was a long process, but it gave me extratime to build up my team, although I had a very good team right from the start.When I got the nomination in 2003, I know a retired teacher who spent every dayand well into the evenings, well up to midnight every day working. We signed 1056new members to come out and support me at the Civic Complex. That night whenthere were four of us on the ticket, I knew that night. I said to my wife, oh my gosh,these are my people, these are the people I signed up. I think this might be a firstballot. She says, “don't count your chickens now”. It was won on the first ballot, itwas exciting.

Jason Setnyk: A lot of people see Dalton McGuinty on television or in politicalads, but can you give us some insight on who he is, perhaps share a personalstory.

Jim Brownell: I'm much older than he is, but he is a father figure to me. He treatsyou with the greatest of respect and compassion. When he's in caucus, he doesn'tsit behind a table, he gets up and sits on the corner of the table, and talks to us. Hemight have his legs swinging and what not. He just shows compassion to ourissues. When we go into caucus we can say anything you want. You can bring backthe troubles of your community, the troubles people told you a week before, andyou can let them out in caucus. It's absolutely wonderful. Many people see him asa stiff wooden figure on TV, and many people have told me that, that he's way outthere, but he's not focused on television, focused on the people, he can't lookpeople in the eye, and what not. But he can look us in the eye, and he has donethat. I just see him as that kind fatherly figure whose shown compassion to all hisMPPs at Queens Park, especially those in the back benches.

Dalton McGuinty is what I would classify as a friend now to me. Because I willalways keep in touch. If not personally every day to him, then to his son, who is afriend of mine. His son came and stayed at my house during one of my golftournaments. He was excited. They pulled straws. There was four of them fromQueen’s Park that came down including Dalton’s son. They pulled straws to see whowas going to sleep on the roll out in my study at home, because my study is like amuseum. They were all excited to see who was going to get the draw to stay there,and he did, the Premiers son did.

Jason Setnyk: You had your first and only Private Members’ Bill passed. When theOntario Honours British Home Children received royal assent, can you explain whatthat mean for you?

Jim Brownell: The greatest thrill of my life. I can tell you I honoured mygrandmother. I never knew my grandparents, but I learned my grandmother wasthirteen years old when she was an orphan in an orphanage. She came over as athirteen year old to work as a servant. A hundred thousand of these home childrenbetween 1869 and 1939 came over to Canada to work as servants from the BritishIsles. I thought, last year in 2010, Canada declared, the Federal Governmentdeclared it the year of the home child. I wanted to go one step further. I wanted aday to honour and recognize every year, especially in the history books, especiallyfor the story to be told in history books, because it never has been. I pickedSeptember 28th, as British Home Child Day, and that was the day my grandmotherfirst stood foot on Canadian soil. We’re going to have a big celebration at CanadaVillage, on September 28th, unfortunately I am going to be out of town, but myoldest brother is going to represent me there.

Jason Setnyk: You worked with Dalton McGuinty for 8 years now, what is youropinion of local PC candidate Jim McDonnell after he made this comment at thefirst debate: “I grew up in the best Ontario, now Ontario is stuck in the welfare rolls.The Ontario Liberal Government insults people with promises they won't keep.Dalton Tax Man McGuinty will keep raising taxes like a raccoon in your garbage, notbad animals, just the way they are”.

Jim Brownell: Embarrassing and shameful. I was embarrassed that Jim wouldstoop to that. Jim McDonell is a real nice guy. I’ve worked with him on many-manyprojects. He’s playing off the playbooks. That is not something Jim McDonell made-up. This is something he got from Party Central Office. It was embarrassing. I can tellyou I sat there, my wife was sitting beside me, and I said, I cannot believe he saidthat. We have some challenges, some problems in our province, but to think whatwe done in education, and what we’ve done for minimum wage and bringing it up,you can’t hit the business folks all at once, but we gradually brought the minimumwage up. To do the things we have done, to give 94% of Ontarians a tax cut on theprovincial tax in the last budget, and he had the nerve to say that. It was quiteshocking. I know what we’ve done and I am very proud of what we have done. I wasproud of Mark MacDonald coming back with the rebuttal to say what he did.

Jason Setnyk: What is your opinion of Mark MacDonald who won the ProvincialLiberal Nomination in this riding, and is attempting to follow in your foot steps.

Jim Brownell: Mark MacDonald, he is a tireless worker. I think he’s toned down awhole lot, I think he has changed. Many people thought of him as some times aradical on council. He’s toned down quite a bit in that regard. I think he is workinghard, and has a team behind him.

Jason Setnyk: What advice would you give the Liberal Candidate?

Jim Brownell: What advice would I give him. Stay on message and don’t be afraid ata debate to use the book that is provided. When I ran in 2003 and 2007, we receiveda master copy of almost every issue. What I did with that is I tabbed all theimportant things in that book. I said to him, don’t be afraid to use it, and when oncandidate is up there, look that you are interested, but glance down and pick outsome of the little bytes that are in that book, because all the little bytes are in there.I found the other night he really wasn’t doing that, and he should, because there isa lot of good stuff that we have done. He has to get all those great things we havedone in this province out in the messaging he gets when he stands up there on theplatform. He’s started out quite positively. Actually, they all have. ElaineMacDonald, this is her time to step to the plate. She’s retired now, just as I was, we’reboth former school teachers. I have a lot of respect and admiration for ElaineMacDonald, because she is an absolute community activist. She’s been in thetrenches long enough to perhaps get to Queens Park. I don’t know how they aregoing to do this time. They all have spent time in the trenches, Jim McDonell has,they all have municipal experience, and they are all retired too. Jim’s retired fromBell, Mark from the fire department, and Elaine from teaching. They are all outthere, and it is a very difficult thing to get into, when you have a family, verydifficult. You spend a lot of time away from your family. I think these folks are all atthe right time in life to explore something like this. I say good for them, and I wishthem all success. One will come out a winner, but the others are not losers.

Stay tuned for Part II of our interview with Jim Brownell next week!

SEAWAY CULTURAL ARTS COMMITTEE

PRESENTS TO COUNCIL

The Seaway Cultural Arts Committee presented to Cornwall City Councilon Monday September 12th. They introduced their organization, theirmembers, vision statement, mission statement, fund raising efforts,research efforts and their vast representation of many local artists andorganizations. Members of the SCAC expressed interest in participatingin any Arts Council that is formed.

"We would like to encourage the Council to continue to progresstoward the goal of an Arts Center for the Cornwall Region and offer ourtime; our skills and our connection to the Arts Community, to helpfacilitate the process. We would appreciate the inclusion of either oneof our members to take a seat on the Arts Council or to allow us to

make recommendations for the persons to be chosen. We also encourage theCity Council to take advantage of our wealth of talent and knowledge in both developing and fund-raising for the Future Arts Center. We would also like totake this time to point out that, it is our belief, that an Arts Council without the inclusion of community artists that have worked in the business of art wouldbe missing a vital part of the required dynamic to see this venture become a success. In closing we would like to put an end to the rumour that Artists cannotwork together, we in our association have shown that with a common purpose and vision that we are all capable of seeing our dreams become reality".

CITY MOVING FORWARD ON ARTS AND CULTURE

The recommendation that Council establish an Arts Committee's to review the Cultural Plan in detail, to invite dialogue with regional partners, and todetermine the best course of action for the City of Cornwall to take regarding the recommendations contained in the report passed eight votes to two. LeslieO'Shaughnessy and David Murphy were concerned about the process moving too quickly without getting more of the counties on board. Denis Thibaultinsisted the process should move forward, because a parade of artists and citizens are moving forward on this, and that City Council should not drag it'sfeet. The majority on City Council agreed.

ESTHER BRYAN ART PIECE UNVEILED AT COUNCIL

Also on the Arts front, Esther Bryan, creator of the Quilt of Belonging, had a painting shown during the City Council meeting. Her painting will be a part ofan exhibit at the London Olympic Games. Esther is pictured above with Councillors David Murphy and Denis Carr.

CITY COUNCIL PROCLAIMS SEPTEMBER 13TH POVERTY FREE ONTARIO DAY IN CORNWALL

The Social Development Council of Cornwall and area, a member of the Social Planning Network of Ontario, has requested that September 13, 2011, beproclaimed as "Poverty Free Ontario Day" in the City of Cornwall in order to bring forward the need for poverty eradication through the Provincial Election.Bernadette Clément congratulated The Social Development Council of Cornwall and the Agape for all their efforts to combat poverty. She also remindedCity Council that poverty is a non partisan issue. Glen Grant focused on the need for good paying jobs and economic development to combat poverty, andElaine MacDonald replied that good paying jobs is definitely a part of it, but she reminded Council that people who work minimum wage jobs may facepoverty issues. Members of Poverty Free Ontario in attendance gave Council a loud ovation after they voted unanimously to proclaim September 13th"Poverty Free Ontario Day" in the City of Cornwall.

Volunteering is Good

for the SoulWhen your life spins out of control, youhave options; you can go through the“oh poor pitiful me” route or you canuse the time to reassess your life andyour priorities.

I decided if I can’t work somewheredoing the things I love to do, I can

volunteer my time to groups and committees where I canhelp them, using the skills and knowledge I possess.

I contacted Gilles Latour, Chair of Team Cornwall to see if heneeded any help with their upcoming tournament. I figuredmaybe I could give them a hand since I was experienced ingolf tournaments. I was welcomed with open arms and theyextended a role for me with their Golf Committee. When Idiscovered who was on the organizing team, I recognized allof them. They were former clients, contacts, communitypartners and I was well-received by each and every one ofthem.

I was given a meaty role which I embraced. Through thisvolunteer experience, I became part of a great team thatencourages and welcomes, feedback and suggestions. For

the first time in a very long time, I felt like myself again. I voraciouslydove into every task, got a little more comfortable with each meetingand noticed that self-confidence return that I was beginning to lose. Iwill continue to be part of Team Cornwall, a wonderful ambassadorialorganization that proudly promotes our beautiful city.

I was also invited to join another committee, We Three Girls andCompany. We are currently organizing a fundraiser for M.S. that willhelp showcase local businesses and artists and offer a greatopportunity for early Christmas shopping or to just pamper yourselffor a good cause. This committee is comprised of a team of ladies andone gentleman who I got to know better through the CornwallFarmers’ Market. We meet weekly and exchange frequent emails.Through this committee I made new friends. We discussdetails,brainstorm, share ideas and a lot of laughs.

I am not a stranger to volunteering. I spent years on the Heart of theCity Executive Board as Marketing Chair, where I worked with somewonderful people organizing gala dinners, events and variousprojects. I was also involved with Canadian Mental HealthAssociations auctions and was on school council for a major part ofmy son’s elementary school years. My resume includes theseaccomplishments. The experiences helped me in my career and togrow as a person.

The benefits of volunteering are incredible; from the knowledge, tothe friendships and the real understanding of teamwork and itsimpact. There is personal satisfaction of knowing you helped createsomething and fostered growth in an organization or committee. Myhands may be small, but what I have accomplished by giving of themhas been irreplaceable.

SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS

What is Art?

What I have been discovering lately is that we,meaning “The Artist”, have been giving ourpower away to Gallery owners, art critics andother so called experts to tell us what is good,bad or great Art.

I was in a Gallery out side of our region, justsniffing it out this past week and the good

natured gallery owner proceeded to instruct me on howthe Artwork he carried was the work of the best Canada has to offer.I looked around and saw traditional, dull, dead art. Not onepainting made me want to gawk at it with my mouth open. “Why isthere no contemporary Art here?” I asked him. He looked at mewith a confused look and said “That’s all we carry”. Now I had tolaugh and said “you need to get out more and see what is out there, it’s an excitingworld full of art outside your door”. “Oh, that stuff” he huffed “That is the work ofpeople who don’t have the discipline to learn how to really paint. When we see a newartist we tell them what work sells and what they should be painting if they want tosell.” That’s when I said thank you for your time and left.

I wondered after, when did we go back to letting the gallery control what art is seenand what we should paint? Shouldn’t we, the artists of the world, whether in Visual,Music, Dance or Theatre be the ones telling the public what art really is? Isn’t thatwhat the Impressionist movement in the late 1800’s and later the Artists of the 1920’stry to change. That true art is something unique and fleeting that looks like anythingthe artist wants it to. In the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s didn’t we demand that all music is validmusic?

Having said that one may think that I was being judgmental of the art that I saw in thatGallery last week, but with a few exceptions the walls were full of art that lacked

something that all art must have, a tiny piece of the Artist’s soul. This little something the artistleaves behind is the thing that makes children’s art so special and art that otherwise lacks sometechnical skill make it into the history books. Instead that soul was replaced with conformity,conformity to sell instead of create. We all conform on occasion but as a living this is not good;it will make you crazy.

Instead let’s all start demanding that the public allow the Artists to speak their minds, sing theirsongs, dance their dance, write and perform what they feel compelled to. When Art is set freeto be what it is and not become a commodity we move the world forward, think about this. Youknow it’s true. Part of me truly believes that if humans never started following their impulse todraw upon the cave walls we would still be there, trying to survive; if the Egyptian artists didn’tstart to create images that told a story, we would not have written language. Most importantlyof all; if all of the Art of the twentieth century never happened we would never have fought forequality and peace nor would we have reached up to touch the stars.

SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS

Knotty or NiceEvery once in a while I receive something through e-mail that really resonates with me or makes me think a

little deeper about a specific subject. These are ofcourse one form of the many roadSIGNS which I attract.

Last evening I received the Knots Prayer from one of my neighbors. It setsa great tone for this week’s column:

Dear God:

Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life.Remove the have nots, the can nots

and the do nots that I have in my mind.Erase all the will nots, may nots,

might nots that find a home in my heart.Release me from the could nots, would nots

and should nots that obstruct my life.And most of all Dear God,

I ask you to remove from my mind, my heart and my lifeall the ‘am nots’that I have allowed to hold me back,

especially the thought that I am not good enough.Amen

Author known to God

What a wonderful reminder of all the ‘nots’ that show up in your life on a daily basis. Itdoes make you notice them.

I like the prayer and part of me also wants to modify it. I am not big on the word ‘not’ andso I propose a second prayer build around the same idea, with slightly different wording.I call this the NICE Prayer, NICE standing for Now I Can Everyday.

The NICE PrayerDear God:

I untie all the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life.I release myself from what no longer serves me and attract all that is in my highest

good.I see what I have, that I can and what I do in all parts of my life.I release myself from the could’s, would’s and should’s imposed on me by others.

And Dear God, I choose to live in the ‘I AM’,

understanding that who I am is perfect and definitely good enough,and that I am powerful just as I am.

Amen

Both, by the way are great prayers and you can judge for yourself the one you prefer. Ilove the Knots Prayer yet felt myself feeling tangled up in all those nots. Since Iunderstand how the Law of Attraction works, and how the Law does not recognize ‘not’my preference was to remove them. Try it for yourself.

Most importantly, and here is the real message for today, notice where in your live your‘nots’ live. Imagine if for every time you said ‘I can’t’ , you said ‘I can’. I imagine if for everytime you said ‘I have not’, you said ‘I have’. Apply this rule to all the other ‘nots’ that havebeen showing up in your life, and change your vocabulary. I can assure you of this, ‘not’is a word that limits you, holds you back, and diminishes you. The moment you enter theNO’NOT” ZONE, and remove the dastardly word from you vocabulary, you give yourselfpermission to dream, to grow, to expand, and most importantly, to step into your ownpower.

How simple is that?

Until next time…Betty

Local Artist Tracy Lynn Chisholm and member ofL'Association Focus Art Association lead a high energymini workshop where she encouraged the members ofFocus Art to create a small Art Card with their Dreams andwishes illustrated on the card and their name and websiteof Focus Art on the back. They then tied these wishes toone of two Large Bunches of Balloons and sent them offinto the night sky. The wind was brisk to the South Westso the bundles quickly headed off to parts unknown.It is the hopes of the group that when the balloons finallycome down that they will be found by others out there thatwill contact us and let us know where they landed.The wishes ranged from personal wants and desires forthemselves and family to wishes for the world.

Local Youth Answer More Questions About the 2011 Provincial ElectionCarilyne Hebert, Mike Bedard, and Nazish Janjua are young and political!

Article by Jason Setnyk

WELCOME TO THE FIFTH INSTALLMENT OF

ASKING YOUTH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE

UPCOMING PROVINCIAL ELECTION. Each weekuntil the election, we have three local young peoplein their 20s (each of whom supports a differentpolitical party) answer some serious questions! Lastweek Jason Setnyk asked the participants abouteducation. This week’s question is about

environment.

QUESTION #5:

On the Ontario Liberal website it says, "David

Suzuki’s endorsement of Dalton McGuinty

shows the Ontario Liberals are the only party

committed to a healthier environment said

Liberal MPP Laurel Broten." Is the Liberal plan

on the environment the best one? Are there

points about their plan you agree or disagree

with? Does another party have a better plan?

NAZISH JANJUA

SUPPORTS:

The Liberals

David Suzuki hasendorsed PremierMcGuinty's vision

and leadership in clean energy andcalls the PC scheme to kill clean energy "absoluteinsanity." He said, "I'm offering an endorsement ofwhat Mr. McGuinty has done absolutely. This is agreat plan. Any party would be foolish to talk ofabandoning it." Tim Hudak says he would scrap theclean energy plan and kill 50,000 clean energy jobs.The PCs increased coal use by 147%. Their plans tosmother clean energy would take us back to the darkdays of dirty air. That is not what Ontario needs.Andrea Horwath has joined Hudak in pledging toscrap the Feed-In-Tariff program, which is thecornerstone of Ontario's clean energy plan. TheDavid Suzuki Foundation has said, of her positionthat, "The NDP allowed politics to rule over goodpolicy." Across Ontario, thanks to the leadership ofDalton McGuinty, new clean-energy businesses havehired workers, bought equipment, leased spacesand found clients. The PCs and NDP want to kill thisentire industry. They want to let our competitorsaround the world get ahead of us, kill Ontario jobs,and take our economy off track and into the ditch.Only the Ontario Liberals have a plan to moveOntario forward. build a clean energy economy, andensure Ontarians

have clean air, goodjobs and a greatquality of life.

Energy Benefit is nothing more than a campaignploy to make you believe that you are saving moneybut in fact they are just lowering the costs theyalready raised or giving you back your own money!Here is what happened; your rates doubled over thepast 8 years and now they will give 10% every yearfor the next five years. Well this is an election yearand again this plan is coming from the McGuintygovernment…..Need I say more! “If it walks like aduck and sounds like a duck then it is probablyDalton!” “PCs, NDP Would Take Ontario Back ToSmog With No Consumer Benefit” is the firstsentence on the Liberal’s web-site under the articlementioned above. We already have smog and it wasnot created by the NDP’s or the PC’s or the Liberals!The Liberal Party hasn’t taken us out of SMOG and itis the most ridiculous sentence and a very amateurclaim to make! All politicians have jumped on theeco ban wagon and although it was a popular fadthe fact of the matter is as soon as you remove anyeco – incentives people won’t care as much! Peoplewere interested in savings and efficiencies and somuch not eco-friendly! Incentives should bestructured around improving on efficiencies moreso than anything else!

The Ontariogovernment has allowed companies to

charge eco-taxes to their customers. Mean whilethese companies are getting breaks on paying thefull cost of recycling and safely disposing their toxicproduct. This means we are now paying for thepollution they are creating. This should not be theresponsibility of the consumer. The Ontario NDP willmake sure that the cost of recycling and safelydisposing materials is the responsibility of thecompanies that produce the products. Transit is abig contributor to the world’s pollution. We here inOntario have a few choices when determining howto get from point A to point B. They may not be theeasiest and most affordable though. The OntarioNDP will freeze public transit fares making it morereasonable on your wallet. It will do so by havingthe province absorb half the cost of operatingmunicipal transit systems. They will also create aprovince-wide cycling infrastructure fund. This willbecome an investment for bike lanes, bike storageand bicycle tourism. This will make it easier for youto choose an environmentally friend way to travel. Itis currently unrealistic for all average citizens tomake a significantly positive impact on theenvironment. Regulations to reduce over-packaging of the products you purchase andredirecting funds from nuclear projects and make itavailable to families that want to retrofit theirhomes. With policies like these the ONDP will makeit more affordable for you to reduce your carbonfoot print.

PARADING OUR HERITAGECULTURESThroughout most of this weekend,September 17th-18th, Cornwallcelebrates its heritage culture at the

fifth annual Parade of Nations(www.paradeofnations.com). Theevent this year comes at a time whenthe economics of culture, whichincludes heritage culture, is a hottopic at city hall.

Parade of Nations, Cornwall'sflagship of cultural tourism, is addingmore events to the mix in 2011. Thefocus this year is on costume;costume being that mode of fashionand material culture covering, amongother things, ceremonial garb as wellas accessory objects of adornment.There will be on display exotic veils,whimsical clown costumes, aboriginal

outfits, and so on. In addition to thecostume theme, Parade of Nations'founder and administrative driving force,Marie Morrell, is including a kite festival,food arts, music, and dance taken fromthe far corners of the globe.

Parade of Nations is a venue to celebrateCornwall's diversity, not to put upreligious barriers or to propagate politicalpropaganda. It's also an opportunity forpeople like me, who don't usually seekthe limelight, to step into a milieu whereI can in a very tangible way share withothers my joy in the cultural festivities.Thus, I will be master of ceremonies onthe main stage at Lamoureux ParkSaturday night and will be front andcentre to introduce Cornwall's culturalbouillabaisse. Joining me on the masterof ceremonies podium will be myfrancophone co-host and fellow CornwallGroover of exactly one year, Jean Kepler.

Heritage culture, including communityfestivals like Parade of Nations, operateat the grassroots level and thus are thewave of the future in Cornwall'sincreasingly more diverse ethnic andageing demographic. Thisdemographic is critical to the culturalcore of heritage and community andthus allows a healthy measure oftolerance and understanding to bubbleup from across a broad representationof people. Without this new source ofgrassroots culture and the culture thatcomes with pride in ancestry felt by themore established residents of Cornwall,we risk becoming a village of isolatedindividuals who are blocked in theirpotential to create a more joyous andtolerant community.
