Saskatchewan Wheat Exchange Ties With Power Deal
Saskatchewan Premier Ross Thatcher announced that Saskatchewan Power Corporation completed a deal with Japanese interests to purchase 9,000 bushels of wheat as payment for a 4.25 million dollar turbo generator for Boundary Dam in Estevan. The exchange is the third such arrangement in 12 months, with Marubeni Fida Canada taking the tender for the 150 megawatt generator. Thatcher urged Wheat Board support to ensure Saskatchewan wheat delivery, noting no price-cutting in these deals and criticizing federal stance.

Winnipeg city council finance committee voted to terminate funding for inspectors and a cancer detection clinic set to end July 1. The panel rejected extending the deadline to August 1, arguing expropriation of funds is their duty and noting provincial support covers two thirds of health costs elsewhere. The clinic alone had reportedly saved eight lives.
