Unity debate exhausts Canadians in Quebec referendum talk

The column argues Jean Chretien remains a hold-out on rescheduling the French language debate as fatigue over the Quebec referendum question grows. It critiques Chretien and Charest, questions the NDP stance on distinct society, and notes Bloc Quebecois’ hardline independence position led by Parizeau. The Banner invites signed letters, possibly edited for length.

Controversial amendment targets Canadian Wheat Board powers

The inclusion clause to Bill C-72 would curb farmers freedom by extending the boards reach to marketing other crops such as canola and oats. Opponents warn it risks damaging free trade with the United States and inflating political control, while supporters call it democratic reform. Peter Holle of the Prairie Centre criticizes it as failed policy and Wayne Easter defends broader government oversight.
