The Reform Party waited about two weeks before officially declaring
a position, and in the interim did ask there membership to call in
their opinions on the Accord to the head office.

But that aside...considering the Reform Party's known positions,
it was not terribly surprising that they would be opposed to this
deal.  The ineffective Senate and the 25% guarentee almost insured
that the Reform Party would come out against.        

You might not agree with Preston Manning's idea's, but he probably
has the most principled position of any of the major party leaders
on the Accord.

Well, some medical researchers now think that 700 years old is the 
theoretical limit for human life expectancy.  If this hypothesis
is true, given that forced retirement is now illegal in most states,
we may not see an opening for several more centuries.

All seriousness aside, has anyone else noticed that, although
the number of applicants for academic jobs is rising, the 
quality of those applicants is going down?  Is this possibly a 
result of the end of basic research in academia, and the move 
towards applied research?  In other words, is learning how to
polish and use an expensive piece of equipment insufficient
education for a Ph.D.  

These comments are meant to be controversial and provocative.

Subject: The negotiations behind the accord
Organization: Dept. of Electronics, Carleton University
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 18:05:30 GMT

Notes on the negotiations:
   The negotiations were between the federal powers and the provincial powers.
   As power bodies the provinces were not going to give up something for
   nothing. Nobody said ``It will be better for Canada if XXXX is managed on
   a federal level.'' 

   Yes it was all compromise of position in the best political tradition.
   However with the provinces as empowered negotiators there was no possibility
   of anyone gaining anything significant on any level. It was trade-off,
   the only possible solution being agreeable to all parties being a win-win
   situation.

The big question they were supposed to be attacking was 
	``What is best for Canada''
what they solved was
	``What is best for the provinces''

Can you see the difference?

Why do we need provinces? Provinces are not the "lands distant from the capital"
that they once were. We have the communications systems and organizations to
manage resources, environment, agriculture, health, and other concerns at
the planet wide level!!

  Is not the acceptable variation in riding size something like 25% right
now. That is while you are ranting and raving for provincial parity, the
current crop of MPs may have some whose electors are 4 times more
effective than some others ...

  Seems like questionable priorities to me.
