Parade of the living dead on taxes in Manitoba

He labels professors and columnists as phantoms profiting from high taxes while long-term funding yields uneven benefits, urging readers to question the education tax burden and future costs on children.

Roblin closes Memorial Hall and sale of building planned
Roblin town council set September 30 as the last operating day for Memorial Hall and put the building up for sale. The town faces a $7,000 to $8,000 shortfall from winter events and a potential $300,000 repair bill to meet fire and building codes. Mayor Betty Mykyforak cites safety concerns from recent events and notes impact on Legion and Ladies Auxiliary. The Flin Flon Chamber seeks a grant to renovate Tourist Park, while Whiteshell Laboratories continues layoffs under AECL downsizing. Lac du Bonnet Airport gains a paved runway after a $890,000 federal grant and expansion plans.
