A writer accuses the Manitoba NDP of raiding Manitoba Hydro to cover overspending, pushing debt to 8.5 billion against a 10 billion asset base. They warn rising hydro rates will kill competitiveness, urge a shift to low taxes and private delivery of services, and compare socialism to a disease threatening the province.

The town claims Icelandic heritage via Tslendingadagurinn and Gimli’s first settlement between 1870 and 1874. God and pluralism frame the piece, urging respect for all cultures under Canadian law.
