He says that when he emigrated to Canada from Europe 30 years agohe was amazed to discover that Canadians weren't proud of their country, its past or its historic sites and buildings. - “In Europe they take it for granted,” Rem said. “And here we are — still beating our breasts and trying to find out who we are.” But he suggested Monday, after receiving an " -. architectural award, that the apathy is giving way to a new attitude. Communities are realizing that renovation of older structures is artistically, wor- . thwhile and, in many cases, leas coatly than de- ‘molition and new coustruction. . Qn Monday, Gov.-Gen. Ed Schreyer awarded Rempel, chief architect during the reconstruction of Fort William at Thunder Bay, Ont., and a con- Reporters faced guns by RICHARD GWYN AWA -- A few years back,. Con... sectative Leader Joe Clark remarked very sagely, but also rather sadly, that “What Canadians really want Is Plerre Trudeau -- without his warts’. 7 At times, as In last February’s election, Canadians look only at Trudeau. At other times, asin the 1979 election, Canadians look only at Trudeau's warts, which as Clark went on to point out are as Integral to the man as ts his braininess and his style. But at no time, no matter how they happen to feel about Trudeau, do Canadians look at Clark. This Is his central, irreducible problem. He'sthe Invisible Man of Canadian politics. The latest Gallup Poll serves as 4 mirror. The popularity of the Liberals Is down fo 40 per cent from a high of 50 per cent last fall, which Is what you’d expect because of the controversies over the constitution and — energy. Once these are done, Trudeau’s ‘popularity may recover or It may sink still further, but In the middle of a political act the person responsible is bound to make more enemies than friends, just as a new highway while under construction angers both the farmers whose fields have been expropriated and the ultimate beneficiaries, _ the urban motorists, who In the meantime are belng snarled in traffic jams. But while Trudeau is down, Clark Isn‘t up. According to Gallup, most Trudeau-haters have switched fo the New Democrats or to “others” (Marxist-Leninists perhaps, or the Rhinoceros Party?).

TORONTO (CP) — Royal Trust said Monday a survey has shown that Canada’s most costly houses are still:in British Columbia, where prices have risen as much as 80.9 per cent in the last eight months. , The price of a two-storey, four-bedroom home in ” Surrey, B.C., adjacent to Vancouver, jumped to $170,000 in February from $34,000 in June, 1980, Royal Trust said. . .

Although President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr and his modérate backers pected ‘unity’ to win this emotional tug-of- war because, ‘‘Torles would rather fight Grits than fight Tories’. Note that no one says they would rather fight with Clark In the next election rather than with some, new "Brand X” Con- servative Leader. Even among Clark's closest supporters and friends, it's hard to -find a Conservative who belleves he is — “winnable’. Which doesn’t at all mean that he wont win the leadership review test. The Gallup Poll !s bad news for Clark: While Trudeau is going backward, he isn’t going forward. : He's got some good news going for him, though. The Ontario election, for one thing. Ontario Conservatives don’t want black, “Torles Reject Leader” headlines cluttering up their provincial campaign.
