The piece weighs the federal government's response to a prolonged postal strike. It credits Prime Minister Trudeau for finally pursuing collective bargaining, resisting costly wage settlements, and notes public support shifting as talks progressed. It warns of future tolerance limits if strikes widen within public services.
A biographical sketch of the Minister of Indian Affairs was sent to news media after the postal strike, sparking calls by Prime Minister Trudeau for an investigation. The probe would review Information Office operations across departments to streamline processes and cut mailing and paper waste.
The RCMP patrols on highway ten north and south of The Pas have kept motorists alert with ghost cars and radar since two months. The 60 MPH limit spurs many to talk about dodging patrols and being trapped between 60 and 70 MPH. Authorities should consider a speed limit increase to 70 MPH.
Discontent rises as The Pas faces sharper housing shortages with rent increases blamed on higher taxes and better returns from bonds. The mayor’s urban renewal talk and a proposed trailer court stalled by jurisdiction leave lots scarce. Enrollment at the Vocational School will push temporary move-ins, while council studies Indian land south of town for solutions, though negotiations face obstacles.
