At Vancouver convention the NDP Youth wing approved measures to place doctors and medical staff in provincial civil service and provide free medical care. Delegates also backed film censorship reform, lowering adulthood to 18, easing minor alcohol use with a guardian, and a Vietnam War youth aid team. They called boycotts on US goods and nationalization of primary resources, plus an income guarantee plan. An executive slate was elected with Flora and Kathleen Stupich among new officers.
Vancouver Provincial Court judge Les Bewley accused the National Parole Board of massive interference with the judiciary after a speech by board chairman George Street. Bewley questioned why a parolee with a long petty crime history was released, while Street defended the board’s record and the three day pass system. Street argued punishment alone fails to reform crime and urged more community based approaches and victim restitution.
Manitoba premier Ed Schreyer and Health Minister Rene Toupin promised free or low cost nursing home care and prescription drugs under the provincial health plan. They described these as pilot programs aimed at broadening coverage without premium increases, with fuller details to be set in the upcoming Speech from the Throne. Local elderly residents face rising hospital costs, and the plan targets extending Medicare to nursing homes and at home care.
Premier Schreyer says the next provincial general election will not occur before June 25 and is likely in the fall or even winter. He vows to run on the government’s record but stresses the need to present voters with a clear intent, criticizing opposition leaders Spivak and Asper as dishonest. He hints at a landslide victory if elections were fought on record alone.

If successful, expansion to more boroughs and eventually Metro-wide rollout will follow.
