A10 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, May 15, 1996 Gay amendment brings criticism HOMOSEXUALITY IS un- healthy and shouldn’t be protected under the federal Human Rights Act, the leader of the Christian Heritage Party said during a recent tour of the area. Ron Gray said moves to prohibit discrimination by sexual orientation will lead lo full spousal benefits for homosexual couples in the federal civil service and in businesses that come under federal jurisdiction, “This is part of the propaganda to win recogni- tion and approval for a life- style that is unbealthy,’’ added Gray. “The literature in the homosexual community makes the Airborne video at Petawawa look tame.” Gray predicted homosexuality will be added to the list of reasons of allowable claims for those making refugee claims to settle in Canada. “Simple logic tells you it is unnatural, We need some- one to say that to our chil- dren so they don’t get caught up in that stuff,’’ he continued, Gray’s comments follow several weeks of intense debate in Ottawa over the Liberal government’s plan to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orienta- tion by amending the federal Human Rights Act. More than 20 backbench Liberal MPs broke ranks with the government on the issue and its caused disrup- tion within the federal - Ron Gray Reform party caucus. Gray said the Liberal com- mitment to prohibiting dis- crimination on the basis of sexual orientation represents an ideological tie to major urban centres, the news media and universities. “They have a connection in the intellectual com- munity and in the informa- tion community. Informa- tion is the key to power,”’ he said. Gray also felt that the fed- eral Liberals regard homosexuals as financial backers. “They have much higher than average disposable in- comes and contribute to the campaigns of their political friends,” he said. Gray toured the northwest to increase the profile of the Christian Heritage Party which is noting its 10th an- niversary this year, The party ran candidates in Skeena in the 1988 and 1993 federal elections, A former journalist, feder- al civil servant and college administrator Gray makes his home in the Fraser Val- ley and was elected leader of the Christian Heritage Party late last year. One of Gray's other campaigns is to slop the im- portation of goods into Can- ada made by slave and child labour, “Canada ought to require that all imported goods carry a certificate saying they weren’t made by slave labour,” he said. The practice of using chil- dren or prisoners to make goods is common in many countries, including China, Iran and India, “Those genuine, hand- knotted Persian carpets are made by kids shackled to the loom at 6 or 8 years of ‘age, They stay shackled ‘there: until they dic,’? said Gray. And cheap, imported goods made by child or slave labour undercuts Ca- nadian workers here, he added, “It forces Canadians to compete with those goods and workers will lose bene- fits they’ve struggled to get,”’ Gray said, Gray added that the major political parties have so far not responded to his proposals regarding slave and child labour. Student job find centre set to open very soon THE FEDERAL student employment Centre says that the other major student ser- centre“here: is set-to open: within: the next™ vice, which provides Wage“subsidies;*is""~"” two weeks. It wilt likely employ’ two stu- dents who will help other students find summer work. The students will concentrate on market- ing and media exposure to try and generate an interest in student employment. What activities are involved will be up to the stu. dents and may include ball games or car washes, The students will also run a job board, matching employers to workers for short or longer term employment. Shirley Kimery of the Human Resources ment. moving away from project-based’ employ-* ment to individual, career-based employ- “We're trying to match up students with interests and possible careers,’’ she says. “The student centre will try for matches too, but they will also deal with lots of odd jobs from gardening to roofing.’ Kimery encourages all students to register with the centre as soon as it ‘opens. Employers are reminded to register if they have any odd jobs or career-oriented posi- lions available to students.
