IN TRE by Lynn Marchildon TORONTO (CUP) — Free Trade might encour- age more American univeri- ties to set up satellite cam- puses in Canadian cities ac- cording to Ontario’s minister of industry, trade and tech- nology Monte Kwinter. While Kwinter said the increasing number of Amer- ican institutions offering de- gree programs in Canada is something to watch, he said he hopes the high tuition of the programs will continue to act as a deterrent. “Where we do have the control is that our universi- ties are all state-financed,” said Kwinter, adding that Ontario’s student assistance program also helps to defray the cost of a Canadian uni- versity education, but not a foreign one. Kwinter spoke at the University of Toronto to outline the Ontario govern- ment’s opposition to the re- cently signed free trade pact. The minister said an eco- nomic union between Canada and the U.S. won’t work because the cultures are so similar and Canada is already dom- inated by the States. He pointed out that 42 per cent of all Canadian industry is al- ready American-owned, and 95 per cent of all prime tele- vision shows, music and films are American. ‘““We have a severe prob- lem and we have to be extra vigilant to make sure that we don’t get swept away by it,” Kwinter said. “There’s very little to differentiate us if we want to maintain that Cana- dian identity.” A graduate of Syracuse University and of the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Tech- This Week in intramurals With the end of the Win- ter Carnival Hockey Tourna- ment, the Intramural Hockey Schedule is back to normal.

Kwinter said there is a common misconception that an iron curtain lies across the border to the United States and if Canadians could only raise it, 2506 million more people will buy their prod- ucts. “At this point in time 80 per cent of all trade of goods and services between Canada and the United States is duty-free,” said Kwinter, COCIESS$ adding the number of tar- iff items decreases with each round of GATT (General Agreement on Tariff and Trade) talks. “Anything that reduces tariffs and barriers is good,” he said. “But it’s got to be done in a way that allows ‘some time for adjustment.” The Ontario government passed a resolution January 7 intended to send the fed- eral government a clear mes- sage of disapproval of the free trade deal signed five days earlier, said K winter. .
