‘Stop playing as
cowboys’ Axworthy
tells the west

VANCOUVER (UPC) - It’s
time for western Canadians
to drop their gunslinger role
and assume the _ respon-
sibilities of nation builders,
Employment and Im-
migration Minister Lloyd
Axworthy says.

Axworthy said Monday he
was “getting tired of the
continuing mythology of a
shootout between the
federal government and the
provinces.”

“We (in the West) are the
new nation builders and we
must change our role and
stop acting as cowboys,”
Axworthy told a meeting of
the Vancouver Men's
Canadian Club.

He said western Canada,
with its wealth of natural
resources, is now in a
position to ‘“‘lead in
developing solutions to the
challenges now faced by our
federal system.”

And he urged western
Canadians to reject the
“favorite sport of (federal
government) bashing” and
make a positive contnbution

ea
to constitutional reform.

Axworthy, one of only two
Liberal MPs in the four
western provinces, said
Canada must have a strong
central government in times
of “increasing international
tensions” so that the federal
government doesn’t have to
“go to the 10 provinces every
time we take the initiative.”

“We have to get away
from the idea that the
country can be run by a
coalition of provinces,” he
said. “I don't go around
picking fights with the
provincial premiers, but
provinces have finite
boundanes that hmit what
they can do.”

Axworthy said with
“serious thinking by social,
community and economic
leaders in western Canada,”
the West can become more
industry-based and _ less
resource-based

“IT don't want the West to
become balkanized = and
(only) protect) what our
short-term benefits are.” the
minister said
