Prairie Dog revival alliance forms to save historic locomotive
Nearly 300 people gathered at a Stonewall restaurant to back the Prairie Dog, a vintage locomotive. The Locomotive Society alliance seeks funding through stock sales grants rail bonds and sponsorships while government matching support and a long term viability plan are awaited. A $500 000 target would lease the Oak Point line and build a new yard and station.

Victor Vasnik reports on a Globe and Mail Angus Reid poll showing most Manitobans want tax cuts in the post deficit era. They split on cutting income taxes versus the GST, with debt reduction as a high priority and EI cuts least favored. Tax Freedom Day was July 3, and many fear renewed federal spending.
