And in the same way that we were part of Meech Lake, so will we be an ever increasing part of so many other debates yet to be engaged, yet to be even thought of." : In journalism, there is a very fine line between covering the activities of others and becoming part of the story. In the Meech story, CBC Television crossed that line several times, by pushing politicians to clarify vague posi- tions, and by broadcasting - LIVE - events as they happened. Mansbridge says that made it eas- ier for Canadians to not only understand, but to participate in the debate. While willing to look critically at CBC Television's coverage of Meech, Mansbridge also made it clear he is quite com- fortable with his new "activist" definition for television news. In closing, Mansbridge did finally answer the question Quetico Centre asked him to talk about - his vision of Canada. His answer is worth entering in jour- ah Ontario ELECTION PROCLAMATION Of which all persons are asked to take notice and to govern themselves accordingly. In obedience to Her Majesty's writs of election, directed by me to the Returning Officer in each electoral district, for the purpose of electing persons to represent the voters in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, public notice is hereby given of the following in each electoral district. nalism textbooks: "If I have a vision, it is of a vigorous and determined country that is open and unafraid to the vast changes that are sweeping our world. It is of a country which grasps the great need for a more efficient dialogue between all of its parts. It is of a country which is a true marketplace of ideas. But also it's a nation that understands there are no free rides when it comes to the national understanding, that must be the core of any new vision. We all have to do better. We need a new era of excellence. Our education system must make us better informed citizens. Our lawmakers must give us a more coherent sense of where we are going. And our media, especially my part, television, must apply the most exacting standards to keep Canadians up to date with this historic pace of change. And let's be frank, the Canadian public itself must do a better job, making a more determined effort to really inform itself about the great CAN YOU VOTE?

Bailie, CHIEF ELECTION OFFICER Published by the Office of the Chief Election Officer of Ontario Elections Ontario A non-partisan Agency of the Legislative Assembly KEEPING YOU INFORMED P35 issues and changes that are reshaping our country. It won't be good enough in the future for large sections of the population to ignore major national debate until the last possible moment, as the surveys indicate that they did with both Free Trade, and with Meech Lake." I agree with Mansbridge's "activist" definition of journal- ism, as long as it's accompanied by a strong dose of moral respon- sibility. I have given many speeches debunking the myth of "objectivity". A reporter should only be expected to be fair and factual. No reporter has the divine talent of being disconnect- ed from the march of history. As journalists, we influence events as soon as the editorial decision is made. to. - =cover them. Mansbridge's sensitivity to the realities of Atikokan clearly demonstrated that journalists can go beyond conventional "report- ing", and assist people to reach a collective understanding of the realities of situation, and the pos- sibilities for creative change. I hope Mansbridge and the rest of us who practice his craft will remember that as we do our work.
