By doing so we will definitely have this bright future and a genuinely independent, democratic and socialist Canada. D ickersoni Wîth proper federal management and realistic poicies, I can see Canada becoming energy self- TTlt1 suff icient. During my college years, 1 worked for two summers in the Athabaska Tar Sands near fort McMurray, Alberta. The reserves are enorrnous. When it rains, oul literally flows out of the où dren- ched sand. When the extraction plants reach their ful potential in tahe 1980's, 1 forsee our anxieties over energy supplies subsiding to be replacecl with a growing confidence by the Canadian people in their future and iii their country. Fenneli Questionnaire What s your position on the Ontario Land Cor- poratlon's proposai to build a new community, Seaton, n the North Pickering area? Carrel I The question of where and when to build cities and towns depends entirely on the social system that exists in a given country. Under the present system, monopoly capitalism, new èities and towns are build solely Wo serve the interests of capital-that is, they provide concentrated populations of workers to labour in the factories, mines and milis, and when some of these towns no longer serve their purpose (a mine shutting down, as for example in Marmora two years ago), the people that reside there are no longer needed by the capitalists and are left to flounder, with no jobs and no prospects. Many of these towns become ghost towns. So the question of building a new town must be looked at from the angle of whose interests does it serve. Does it serve the interests of the vast majority of the people or the interests of a tiny minority of the rich. Dickerson- Clearly, a responsible elected official will arrive at a pro or con position only after hearing from the citizens and studylng both sides of the arguments. However, it would seem -that statements regarding the need for more houing la at odds wlth what the real-etate people mr saying and thoy say bwsiness in down. As well, I have yet to be convinced that industry will flock in to provide the needed tax assessment base and job creation that wil be required. Fenneli The proposai to build Seaton in North Pickering is an municipal and provincial concern and I am con- fident that those officials involved in the proposal wil deal with it mnost effectively. As a resident of the area, I will of course continue to watch all developments with interest. Posma Since the land for this proposed town and the land for the Pickering Airport was taken from in- dividuals against their will, it should be returned to its original owners immediately. Rison I tltink the land could be better used in food produc- tion. So called 'planned' communities don't work. Toronto's Thorncliffe park was an early planned communxty that went awry. People who now work in T.P. don't live there. People who live there don't work there. With Seaton, the presence of the GO train is a temptation to people to commute. Which defeats the whole purpose of planning the in- dustrial-comnlercial-residelltial Split. As we head-Ito theZt1centur wh t o you blieve technology wlll make her a world leader in the in- dustry. These, along with other positive measures, will ail help to re-build our economy. Canadians themselves will be integral to Canada's future prosperity.

Taking a broad look at developments over the last several years, I see the potential for a revitalized Canada, both economically and socially. Already we can deteet a framework for developing the future. Given our unique opportunity to become energy self-sufficient, a strategy has been set in place to wean us off expensive foreign sources and on to alternative forms. We have unlimited poten- ial to develop our natural resources. Outstanding advances already by Canada in communications
