What ewe do about it is our common purpose. We can create a better life for more Canadians . And I am confident, with your trust and support, that we will."  Robert L. Stanfield.  "I have always felt that people wanted to be connected to their society by contributing something to it. Here they are in this land of unquestioned riches, yet for so many of them the future suddenly offered nothing more than the prospect of putting in time, along with the assurance that their basic necessities would be looked after through some form of payment out of public funds.

I believe inflation must be dealt with in ways that don' affect lobs. n en emergency this would involve the use of temporary wage and price controls, as the only humane alternative to another massive economic slow-down.  the nation  "The consequences of Mr. Trudeau's economic mismanagement extend well beyond the obvious problems of increased unemployment and continuing inflation.
