n-pact
OTTAWA
(CP)
-
Canada
signed
a
nuclear
agreement
with
the
U.S.
Tuesday
that
might
break
a
deadlock
with
Japan
and
European
countries
over
nuclear
safeguards
and
Canadian
uranium
shipments.
Energy
Minister
Alastair
Gillespie
said
after
the
signing
here
that
Canada
should
be
able
to
complete
a
new
nuclear
agreement
with
Japan
and
the
European
community
by
the
end
of
this
year.
This
should
clear
the
way
for
resumption
of
Canadian
uranium
shipments
to
these
countries.
Canada
suspended
shipments
early
this
year
to
countries
which
had
not
accepted
Canadian
safeguards
against
use
of
nuclear
technology
and
material
for
explosive
purposes.
Gillespie
indicated
the
accord
with
the
U.S.
is
significant
in
that
it
would
be
tough
for
Canada
to
maintain
its
strong
stand
on
safeguards
without
U.S.
agreement.
The
interim
agreement,
signed
by
External
Affairs
Minister
Don
Jamieson
and
U.S.
Ambassador
Thomas
Enders,
will
permit
use
of
Canadian
uranium
in
U.S.
civil
nuclear
reactors.
The
agreement
will
give
Canada
control
over
Canadian
uranium
bought
by
the
U.S.
and
sold
to
a
third
country.
For
example,
Canadian
uranium
might
be
enriched
in
the
U.S.
and
sold
to
another
country,
say
Japan,
but
only
with
prior
agreement
from
Canada.
The
external
affairs
department
said
in
a
statement
the
agreement
"acknowledges
Canada's
leadership
role
in
matters
of
non-proliferation"
of
nuclear
weapons.
Jamieson
said
after
the
signing
that
"anything
that
brings
Canada
and
the
U.S.
closer
together
on
the
nuclear
proliferation
issue
is
obviously
beneficial
with
other
customer
countries."
Canada
and
the
U.S.
would
not
be
standing
Alderman
Regional
Director
separately
on
the
safeguards
issue
but
would
be
reinforcing
each
other.
Gillespie
noted
that
the
U.S.
has
already
reached
a
nuclear
agreement
with
Japan,
All
that
remained
was
a
settlement
between
Canada
and
Japan
to
clear
away
remaining
obstacles.
Jamieson
and
Gillespie
said
the
interim
agreement
does
not
resolve
all
the
problems
on
"double
labelling"
separate
U.S.
and
Canadian
safeguards
on
Canadian
uranium
bought
by
the
Americans
and
sold
to
a
third
country.

JAGAR
LOUIS
MATTE
Writes
A
hypothetical
story
of
an
overpianned
town
in
reply
to
Tom
Nixon's
Poor
Reporting.
(1st
on
a
series)
NEW
INDUSTRY
TO
PAY
THROUGH
THE
NOSE
In
1985
several
small
industries
wishing
to
establish
in
Prince
George
required
a
total
of
160
acres
of
industrial
land
for
their
ventures.
Their
representative
went
to
city
hall
and
requested
information
from
the
planner
as
to
the
possible
sites
upon
which
to
locate.
When
he
arrived,
the
planner
warmly
smiled,
and
asked
if
he
is
Mr.
Ripoff
who
wrote
the
Chamber
of
Commerce.
The
industrialist
replied,
"my
real
name
is
Mr.
Ratrace,
but
people
have
nicknamed
me
Ripoff
and
sometimes
Promoter,
but
that's
O.K.
So,
Mr.
Bureaucrat
what
properties
have
you
got
lined
up?".
With
a
confident
smile
the
planner
replied,
"we've
got
your
problem
solved".
He
takes
Mr.
Ratrace
to
a
beautiful
painting
on
the
wall.
"See
this
purple
blotch
here
and
there,
well
Mr.
Ripoff,
we
planned
a
long
time
ago
for
this
day.
Just
take
your
pick
of
these
three
industrial
sites
and
you're
in
business".
"Who
owns
the
land,
Mr.
Bureaucrat",
said
the
industrialist.
"No
problem",
says
the
planner,
"It
belongs
to
the
Goodguy
families.
I'll
just
call
one
of
them
and
tell
them
you
finally
arrived".
The
industrialist
a
bit
surprised
gets
on
the
phone
and
talks
to
Mr.
H.
Goodguy,
"Mr.
Goodguy,
how
much
do
you
want
for
your
160
acres?"
Only
$25,000,000.00
is
the
reply.
"That's
outrageous",
says
the
industrialist,
"are
you
sure
you
didn't
mean
$2,500,000.?".
"Not
at
all",
says
Mr.
Goodguy
confidently,
"there
is
a
limited
supply
you
know
and
the
other
Goodguy
families
who
have
that
much
industrial
land
are
each
asking
$40,000,000.00
for
the
same
amount
of
land
but
I've
lowered
my
price
because
I'm
near
the
airport
and
because
I'm
getting
old
and
would
like
to
retire
soon'
'
.
The
industrialist
angrily
slams
do
wn
the
receiver
and
says
to
the
planner,
"that's
outrageous,
our
shareholders
can't
afford
it,
its
more
than
the
amount
we
need
to
raise
to
build
our
entire
industries.
Our
shareholders
can't
afford
it,
what's
the
score
here
anyway,
your
Chamber
of
Commerce
told
us
this
was
a
good
place
to
establish.
Do
you
have
any
further
suggestions
before
I
leave?".
The
Planner
looks
worried
and
says,
"Mr,
Ripff,
I
guess
we
kind
of
made
a
mistake,
by
planning
everything
so
rigidly
and
so
far
ahead,
but
that's
now
the
officially
adopted
community
plan
and
its
going
to
involve
a
lot
to
change
things.
You
see
we
never
thought
that
rip-oif
artists
like
you
would
be
concerned
about
the
price
and
because
they
called
you
Mr.
Ripoff
and
sometimes
Mr.
Promoter
I
was
not
concerned.
I
doubt
if
there
is
any
cheap
land
left
around."
The
industrialist
turns
to
leave,
"Wait,
don't
go
away
yet,
Mr.
Ripoff,
I
think
I
can
help
you
and
solve
our
problem.
You
see
this
dark
green
here,
well
that's
designated
for
parks
and
green
belt
and
this
light
green
is
for
rural
and
agriculture
and
its
cheap
land
belonging
to
Mr.
Poorguy".
"Oh,
but
we
are
not
interested
in
building
on
farmland
or
in
the
parks,
Mr.
Bureaucrat"
says
the
industrialist,
"we
want
to
put
up
several
factories".
"Well",
says
the
Planner,
"most
of
the
Poorguy
families
like
to
see
new
jobs
and
new
money
so
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
persuade
our
politicians
to
amend
the
plan
even
though
a
lot
of
the
Poorguy
families
in
the
vicinity
will
be
angry
and
object
to
it.
First,
just
go
and
take
an
option
from
Mr.
Poorguy
on
the
land
and
then
do
some
lobbying
with
the
politician
Family
then
officially
announce
your
intentions
to
get
a
lot
of
favourable
publicity,
then
apply
for
rezoning
of
Poorguy's
property.
This
will
put
the
majority
of
the
Poorguy's
families
on
your
side".
"What's
the
land
like?"
says
the
industrialist
with
a
tone
of
disgust.
The
Planner
goes
to
the
plan
and
again
looks
very
worried,
"Well
Mr.
Ripoff,
this
dark
green
is
very
rough,
hilly
and
in
places
swampy
and
that
light
green
you
see
is
always
subject
to
flooding".
No
thanks
Mr.
Bureaucrat,
says
the
industrialist
as
he
jerked
himself
out
the
door.
Sad
to
say
he
was
never
seen
nor
heard
from
again
and
the
Poorguys
still
talk
today
about
how
badly
the'
ve
been
treated
by
the
Ripoff
people
and
still
vote
for
the
Goodguys
and
support
the
bureaucrats.
The
moral
of
the
story
is
that
we
need
only
to
adopt
a
five
year
official
community
plan
with
each
annual
review
to
add
one
year
to
the
plan.
The
undeveloped
land
which
is
not
slated
in
the
five
year
plan
should
be
left
officially
in
a
reserve.
Also,
the
planning
department
should
have
many
alternative
unofficial
long
range
plans
available
for
consideration.
The
official
community
plan
should
not
make
instant
millionaires
and
the
plan
should
remain
always
as
a
five
year
plan
in
regards
to
private
property,
Additions
to
or
deletions
in
the
plan
will
not
cause
near
the
problems
or
conflict.
It
would
then
be
difficult
for
anybody
to
highjack
the
old
developments
as
well
as
the
new
industrial
commercial
and
residential
development
with
exorbitant
high
priced
raw
land.
What
is
economically
feasible
will
be
developed
first
and
green
belts
will
include
lands
that
are
exorbitantly
priced.
The
object
of
writing
is
also
to
show
that
Reporter,
Tom
Nixon,
seems
to
know
very
little
about
real
estate,
the
market
system,
or
about
planning
and
the
consequences
of
too
much
government
and
bureaucratic
involvement
and
interference.
He
fails
to
see
the
extent
to
which
the
planners
need
public
assistance
to
avoid
excessive
encroachment
on
personal
freedoms.
Fellows
like
Nixon
who
are
still
wet
behind
the
ears
and
have
exceptionally
pink
cheeks
need
to
get
back
in
their
high
chairs,
keep
their
thumbs
in
their
mouth
for
a
while
longer
so
that
those
who
have
grown
a
few
grey
hairs
may
have
a
chance
to
speak
and
be
heard.
JUDICIAL
PUBLIC
INQUIRY
A
Judicial
Public
Inquiry
will
take
place
in
regards
to
the
way
our
city
council
has
bungled
the
affairs
of
the
community
and
wasted
tax
payers
money.
A
petition
is
in
the
making
which
will
be
supported
by
new
evidence
of
biases
and
what
is
considered
underhanded
dealings.
