Dear Editor,

It has been very inter- esting to listen to the argue- ments for and against free trade. Both sides have their opinions, which are perfectly justified when they are hased on facts. However, one of the pamphlets against free dis-

trade concentrates on

torting the truth. Free

trade has very heavy cover- age in the it is strange that the Pro- Canada Network expects to be able to lie us. For example, brewing is totally exwmpt from free trade but in

news media, so

to

Pro-Canada claims it 1s danger from the agreement. Canada and the USA are

both major grain producers

so the Americans do not buy Canadian grains except for small amounts of canola. Yet Pro-Canada claims that the Wheat Boards are in danger when they do not even sell to the Americans. Free trade is between Canada and the USA, not the USSR.

In any debate, each side should present the facts that support but the pamphlet “Brian Mulroney's Secret Trade Deal Could Cost Your Job And Our Country,” lies to its arguements throughout. That is plainly stupid, when there are many valid arguem-

nets against free trade that are based on the truth. Another arguement that bothers me is people arguing about what the Americans want. Who cares what they want ~ what matters is what The

is in the agreement. to our marketting boards for eggs and milk, but the agree- ment exempts them.

Since this is the case, why is the ar- guement continually dragged up? There are substantial is- sues to worry about!

The real problem is that so many people are not even interested in the facts. and opinions of the opposite isde. Please do not form an opin-

ion after hearing one half of the information at a “Mect- ing Around Free Trade.” Surely a person should have enough faith in his opinions to be able to listen to the other side.

I support free trade. When I tell certain peo- ple that, I am accused of loving America more than Canada and having no _in- terest in Canadian culture. Well, don’t tell me what I be- lieve in and I won't tell you what you believe in. Canada is more than an economic agreement (just my personal opinion).

Last week the Gem had a Pro-Canada Network ar- ticle called “Prot Fes Deal Will Bring Standardized Ed- ucation.”” Read the article it’s entertaining. Basically, here is the seqence of logic used without the details: It’s basd on the fact that: Canadi- ans will be allowed to work in the US, if the deal goes through.

1. Canadian profession- will work the USA which means

als in

2. There will be common

- job qualifications, therefore

3. There

standardized education sys-

will be a

tem between Canada and the USA, thus

4. The countries share common trade unions and crime rates, so

5. We face the Amer- icaniztion of Canada’s stan-

dards

I fail to see how any of these points logically lead to but as usual

will

and culture.

the next one, they are all lies anyway.

1. Many Canadian pro- fessionals, including doctors

and nurses, already work |

in the USA with practically

‘no immagration restrictions.

Despite this, there is no plan to standardize medical qual- ifications.

2. Architects (the ex- ample used by Pro-Canada) must pass an examination in the province that they have a licence in. The PEI Ar- chitects Association has ju- risdiction here.

3. Canada does not have a standardized educa- tion. For instance, Ontar- ion has Grade 13 for high school students before they can enter university. How could we possibly standard- ize with Americans when we have no intention of dardizing among provinces?

4. The Auto Pact has given us free trade in autos since 1964, but the Canadian Auto Workers has recently split from the United [Amer- ican] Auto Workers. What’s move, PEI has a different crime rate than Ontario, and I like to believe that we have free trade within Canada.

Be Cultural industries are specifically

free trade.

exempted from I’m not a busi- ness, economics, or political I'm an En- glish major. There are many

science major

people for and against free trade who know more about it than I do. “Free Trade Will Hurt Women Most” is an honest anti-free trade ar- ticle. However, I do not like being lied to.

DEAR JIM & TAMMY

DEAR J & T;

As a freshman in PSY- CHOLOGY here at UPEI I am finding that in all the Psychology classes there is a majority of females. While I am a normal, healthy male, I find that it is very hard to lis- ten and concentrate in class. Is there anything that I can do to improve my cocentra- tion but still take the same classes?

DUMBFOUNDED

DEAR DUMBFOUNDED:

Your best bet is to pray every day before class and ask for the strength you re-

quire to listen. If this does -

not work than the only other thing that you could possi-

ble do is to get a girlfriend and concentrate on her be- _fore classes and you will be to TIRED to do ANYTHING BUT listen in class.

DEAR J & T: 5

I'm a physics major here at UPEI and am a senior. I was wondering if you could help me figure ont why I came back 777?

BEWILDERED

DEAR BEWILDERED:

You being back maybe due to the fact that you are a science student and in your last year which shows that you are full of commitment, dedication to yourself, and that you have self-esteem.

CARLA REPLIES

Dear Mr. Jordan,

I am so glad that you have found my double-edged fallacies. However problem- atic my letter may be to you, I have no intentions of mak- ing it PHILOSOPHICALLY SOUND.

However, I will rephrase my reference to Ms. Man- derson’s “blatant” attack on the security guard to “sub- tle” attack on the security guard. Mr. Jordan, beyond this concession I cannot go - for I found Ms. Mander- son’s comment “bored look- ing” far from “trivial and ir- relevant”!

As to my anonymousness -— I like Carla with a K!

Signed,

Carla with a K

P.S. Mark, [hope my let- ter gives you a good grade in your Philosophy 111 assign- ment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This discussion has developed into a personal attack and is best left to be communicated pri- vately between the parties involved. If Mr. Jordan wishes to reply to the above. please contact The Gem and T will see if Ms. Carla-with- a-K is willing to provide you with another means of con- tacting her.
