Did editor read 'the deal'? Dear Editor; I had to write and comment on the editorial in last week's News. I agree with the first few statements. By saying NO, we only say no to 'the deal'. Some politicians are saying NO - means no to Canada and Que- bec. Beyond that, it sounds like the editor wants to say NO to Quebec, and was writing with little basis in fact. Did the editor bother to call the toll free number and get information on 'the deal'? Did she read it? What new powers does Quebec get? Answer: The same as all other provinces. Exclusive jurisdiction over Culture, Forestry, Mining, Tourism, Housing, Recreation and Municipal Affairs. What about 'distinct soci- ety'? The text of the agreement says "The role of the legisla- ture and Government of Que- bec to preserve and promote the distinct society of Quebec is affirmed." Seems fair enough for a group of about seven million French-speaking people on a continent of 270 million English. Natives are indeed another 'distinct soci- ety'. Unfortunately at this time there is no effective native government to which powers to promote native distinctive- ness can be delegated. 'The deal' recognizes this. It recom- mends amending the constitu- tion to recognize "an inherent right of self-government within TERRACE BAY RINGETTE ASSOC. Want to know what Ringette's all about?

Each duly constituted legislative body of Aboriginal peoples would have the juris- diction to "safeguard and develop their languages, cul- tures, economies, identities, institutions and traditions." It 'seems fair that these two founding peoples are getting a fair deal. What on earth did the editor mean by "if we say yes to the deal, Quebec separatism would become a reality"? As far as I know, Quebec was' not involved in the repatriation of the current constitution. What is to keep them from separat- ing now? The editor held up the World Wars and the Great Depression as examples of Canada's strength. Was not Quebec vigorously opposed to sending French soldiers to fight for 'the Queen' in World War One? Didn't strong politi- cal leadership keep the country together in those days? Wouldn't a yes vote make Quebec feel more at home today? I am curious about the edi- tor's statements "if we give in to Quebec's demands, where will we end up? The more they get, the more they will want," and "by voting NO Canadians are putting an end to that cycle before it ever begins." ~ What about the native com- munity, women's groups and Preston Manning? Don't they have an endless list of demands too? What 'the deal' does is satisfy the demands of a few and sets the stage for sat- isfying the demands of others. If we vote NO we go back to square one, and no one is satis- fied. I'm voting YES. Given the diversity of Canada, I am pleased that a compromise was reached. There are plenty of other positive points in 'the deal': guarantees of universal and accessible health care, pri- mary and secondary education and protection of the environ- ment. Readers can make their own choice. If you want facts, I think everyone received some information in the mail recent- ly. Larry Sanders' column also contains facts and some well thought out opinions.

The cans collected at can days in Terrace Bay prior to the summer of 1992 were only being stored at our landfill site for future pick-up and transport to Thunder Bay. Unfortunately, the company scheduled to pick up the cans from the dump now tells us they never had Such an agreement with EAGER.

What we do know is that everyone who participated has worked hard to collect cans in their homes and. workplaces. EAGER does not want to negate that effort by ignoring our problem. We are currently working on alternate means to ship the cans stored at the dump to Thunder Bay. We are deter- mined not to leave them there for garbage. It is our hope that this setback does not deter our communities from participat- ing in future recycling pro- jects. The yield from the trial recycling day was shipped via CP Rail to Recycle Life in Thunder Bay. Recycle life hasn't yet guaranteed that this will become a permanent arrangement. However, regular can days will continue. EAGER, Schreiber and Terrace Bay Something new on the hill To the citizens of Schreiber!

"Kimberly-Clark wants to be very sure that their directing their pollution abatement program in the right direction," says Grif- fin.
