Everyone is welcome. Insights continued from page 5 Nonetheless, Young would bring a perspective to the Spicer task force northem Ontario, along with the rest of rural Canada, could appreciate. With the excep- tion of Corcoran (the native ° woman band manager), and Susan van de Velde (a Manitoba farmer), Spicer's counselling team is made up: of urbanites -people who have not experienced, as we do every day, the boom and bust cycle of northern life. Young has been reaching, unsuccessfully so far, for a vision of Canada that is not premised on cities and urban growth. He's been preaching about the need for a "frontier development policy" for this country for six years. Some of us in northern Ontario were listening to Young's mes- sage, or were already practising it before the Association of Single- Industry towns was started in 1984. In places like Atikokan and Sandy Lake, we've gone back to our own roots and community structures to invent new, locally- driven structures that can make decisions in a community context, with actual local accountability mechanisms built in. Without Young on Spicer's | team, we will have to try extra hard to overcome the urban bias in this latest "forum on Canada's future" - to make the rest of Canada realize that this nation's new constitution will not be writ- | ten by either eleven men in a closed room, or just by urbanites in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Instead, Canada will be re-invented one community at a time, eventually weaving itself into a diversified, eclectic "com- munity of communities", held together by the principles of neighbourhood control, regional linkages, racial and linguistic tol- erance, and regional fairness. Northern Ontario has already proven that centralized federal- ism and economic policies don't work, and that-we possess new solutions, fuelled by our determi- nation to survive as communities, and as a region. Like other parts of Canada, we have our faults and disagreements. That should not stop us from looking to ourselves, and what we have invented right here in northern Ontario, as mod- els for Canada.
