Current Comments and Rural Echoes Jump Across August

Manitoba note scraps blend letters from Ernest Youngson to community quips, harvest scenes, and oblique quotes. The column threads through wheat deliveries, a judge’s talk, Meals on Wheels volunteers, and rural wit from Hamiota to Brandon. It ends with verse lines and a World War II memorial tablet memory.

Defence budget fight could leave Navy, Army short funded

Ottawa analysts warn internal battles in the Department of National Defence threaten the plan to spend 2.3 billion on new fighters to police air space and replace CF-104s in Europe. A 1.5 billion push for six new warships may slip beyond 1991 92 as Treasury Board delays cap man-years. Radar upgrades, Pine Tree line refurbishments, North Bay control centre, Edmonton sector hub, and two AWACs add to rising costs while US DEW line refurbishments loom. If air defence dominates funding, Army and Navy needs risk being starved, widening gaps in maritime capability amid expanded 200 mile limit policing.

Reggies Ramblings on Taxes Fame and Mama's Boys

It notes British critique of Canadian sports coverage during Edmonton Games and mocks self praise, then mentions Christina Onassis denying rumors of divorce and an American author asserting presidents had dominant mothers, ending with question about being a Mama's boy.
