...known that they favor a gasoline-tax hike. In a joint press conference, they also suggested that they might support a general tax cut, since the re cession is turning out to be sharper than expected. Even Ford's visitors from abroad, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, pressed him to take more resolute action in the deepening economic crisis (see THE WORLD...
Reason for the planned cutback, according to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau: Canada's tar-sands oil reserve probably totals around 500 billion bbl., equal to that of the Middle Eastern nations but contained in sands deep beneath the Alberta soil and thus far too expensive to tap. Canada cannot even take full advantage of all the oil that it is now pumping; a cross-country pipeline goes eastward from Alberta and Saskatchewan only to Toronto. Thus, while Canada exports some of its western production to the U.S., it is forced to rely on imports to supply its eastern provinces...

While attending a Liberal Party picnic in Vancouver, the P.M. spotted a trampoline, hopped aboard and executed a series of jumps that seemed practiced, if not exactly perfect. One knowledgeable spectator, Canadian Trampolinist Bob Scott, observed that Trudeau has "a lot of air sense-knowing where you are when you're upside down." That evaluation will doubtless be exploited by Trudeau's political opponents when Parliament reconvenes later this month...
