The existence of the Senate has been a sore point for Canadians for many years. Unelected Senators, in their various poses of patronage appointees and party faithful, have often been vilified by a public disgusted with supporting the expensive but -- essentially decorative Upper House. But recent poll results, conducted nationally by the Angus Reid Group on behalf of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, showed that 62 per cent of respondents feel the Senate has-a legitimate role.to reject the GST legislation. (Only 29 per cent of the general public state they do not believe the Senate has this right while 9 per cent state no opinion on the matter). Provincially, respondents in Manitoba and Saskatchewan gave the strongest boost to the Senate, with 79 per cent supporting the right to reject the GST. The Atlantic provinces checked in at 64 per cent support, British Columbia at 61 per cent, and Quebec at 53 per cent. Even Albertans, who have ex- pressed great dissatisfaction with the current structure of the Senate and whose provincial government wants the system changed in order to have stronger representation for their own province, supported to the tune of 65 per cent the Senate's right to kill the GST (results which matched those in Ontario). On a national Multiple Sclerosis SOCIETY OF CANADA supports NATIONAL ACCESS AWARENESS WEEK JUNE 10-16 fa From Diapers to Diploma 2 TBPS grads Uncle Nephew ' 1976 & 1990 basis, Canadians also believe by 64 per cent to 26 per cent (10 per cent stated no opinion) that the Senate has the right to change the GST legislation. Canadians must be very bitter indeed to be invoking the Senate's help. But the fact is, the public obvi- ously feels that the federal govern- _ ment rammed the GST legislation through the House of Commons before adequate discussion had been held on the many questionable aspects of the complex legislation. The poll results back this up show- ing a strong national majority of 76 per cent of respondents expressing the view that the Senate should hold public hearings on the contentious tax. According to Catherine Swift, Vice President of Research and Chief Economist for the Canadian Feder- ation of Independent Business, these findings are very significant. 'There is a strong message here, "' says Swift, "not only for the Senate but for the federal government. Cana- dians are not only displeased with the GST, they obviously feel that cross- country hearings are necessary in order to give the public a chance to be heard on this issue." The bottom line is, regardless of how Canadians view the Senate in general terms, they fully endorse not only the Senate's right to change and reject the GST legislation, they also overwhelmingly support cross- country hearings. But there's no doubt about the fact that, by siding with the Senate against the GST, Canadians find themselves between a rock and a hard tax. CFIB Feature Service By Angie Saunders The News Thirteen cub scouts from Terrace Bay and Schreiber trav- elled to Three Finger Lake near Marathon to participate in a "Cuboree" on the weekend of June 8-10. The Cuboree, which had a western times theme, was attend- ed by 60 cub scouts from Terrace Bay, Schreiber, Manitouwadge and Marathon. - The cub scouts all dressed as cowboys in hats, boots and _hol- sters. All the cubs and leaders slept in tents and were fed in the saloon (cub building). Saddles were hung around the camp to make it appear western- like and there was even a Boot Hill" with boards used as grave markers. Each town of cub scouts were named as ranches. Terrace Bay's ranch was named Wolfhead's Dead Bed and Schreiber used the name Ponderosa. The fun weekend included activities such as steer roping, bronco busting (not real animals), a campfire sing-song, and skits. The scouts participated in a buffalo shoot where they shot BB guns at buffalo-like targets. Panning for gold was another activity the boys enjoyed. The pans seemed to produce a lot of fool's gold but it was fun all the same. : The scouts even did some branding. Each boy put a "Double M 1990 Cuboree" brand on a wooden plaque to remind him of the great time he had on the weekend.
