1990 - North Shore News

AFTER MORE than three years of inter-governmental
wrangling, the Meech Lake Accord has finally failed.
On Saturday night the offical deadline for the provinces
to ratify the accord went by without Manitoba and
Newfoundland either able or wiiling to pass the deal.
Even before the deal died, politicians were pointing
fingers at each other to lay blame while still other

pessimists predicted Canada's economy will be the first
to suffer the fallout frem the failed accord. However,
people opposed tu granting Quebec special status within
the Canadian Confederation as weli as many Quebec
separatists greeted the failure of the accord as good
news.

Meech Lake?

What's your reaction to demise of

Taura Vigers

West Vancouver

I would have liked to see
Meech Lake pass and
make Canada more unit-
ed. I would like Canada
to be totally bilingual.

Bernie Roy

North Vancouver

I'm kind of glad it didn’t
go through. It was a bad
deal for the rest of the
French people in
Canada. I don't think
Quebec needed to de
called a distinct society.

Callum Houston

Burnaby

Meech Lake or no Meech
Lake, it is important for
Canada to be united and
that includes Quebec. To
a great extent it was an

excuse for politicians to -

get in the limelight.

Lisa Carriere

North Vancouver

If Quebec wants to start
controlling people who
want to come into the
province, they should get
out of the country.
We're living in a free
country.

Roy Boyes

Manitoba

They were going too fast
with the accord. Putting
a deadline on it like that
is not the way to deal
with something that im-
portant.
