St Mary's CEO Bruce Antonella Is quoted as saying m mponse to the news that the Health Services Restructuring Commission Is not "tcommending a new car- dlac centre for Waterloo Region at this ume. First of all, n IS not "the government's money." II IS our money Citizens In the Waterloo- Wellington area pay taxes llke everyone else The crux of the matter IS that our money IS being spent In places like London and Toronto, An area with a population of over 500,000 people u; deemed to be of secondary sWuficance Full range semces are available only m "centres of excellence" 80 or more kilometers away. Everyone agrees the; IS wrong. But it's our own fault, the Minister of Health, who happens to be Waerloo's own Member of Parliament tel1s us. There's something disturbing m all ths talk of "lobbying" the government to secure a full range of health care facalities for this area. fault, the Minister of Health, Who happens to be Martin de Groot, Waterloo?, own Member of Parliament tells us Waterloo . o o . Time to privatize education The other week my letter to an editor sug- gested that (cached stress and their inclination to strike could be greatly reduced by improvmg school discipline. This could be accomplished by having Jue Ardelt Street generals get out of their wary towers and visit the schools, all day, every day. The letter went on to suggest that the leathers do not have to put up with nonsense in the schools, and that if the public employees dont correct It, private enterprise would. The other day a commentator on PBS's Nightly Business Report made some interesting comments on education. Here they are: Technological education has provided the life of our economic growth. lEIIEIIS " “LE EDITOR Tttetatedootatmrtickmekomeskttetstotheeditoc Theyshouidbesigoedwith name, aaressastdrhmtemmhesartdwil1bewsifudfaracxuracy.

But ll we're addressmg d government that can be moved only by lobbying we no longer have a parliamentary democracy The Idea of government as a drspenser at rewards for those who yelp the loudest or per- form the best tucks IS deeply ofkneuve should mucus of a democracy have to lobby for far, ness and justice? What ever happened to the idea of a parliament of representatives from all areas chosen to speak, deliberate and make dect, sums on behalf of their constituents? Five people have been delegated with the task of representing the miles of the central Grand Valley, not outside m the lobby, but wuhm the legislature Itself. In a responsible government, they and they alone are ultimately responsible for making sure we get our fair share of provm- oal health care funding, To achieve the work lame we need, there must be a new model of Guardian and American edu- cation. This model will involve the innovation, accountability and entrepreneurship that has been so effective in transforming the private sec- tor. Privatization of education, with national stan- dards and guaranteed success, is an idea whose time has come. ment of our talent pool IS vital Grade 12 students rectum poor grades m mathematics and snence when compared to those In many other countries.
