The RIVERS BANNER reports rising violence in Winnipeg and rural Manitoba with calls for a volunteer crime squad due to P C criticisms of the NDP government. PC Leader Hugh McFadyen, joining Gary Doer and Jon Gerrard, heads to Ottawa to urge tougher federal laws and action on crime.
Premier Gary Doer led a Manitoba mission to Ottawa on September 20 to urge stronger federal action on auto theft and serious youth crime. The delegation met federal ministers and MPs, outlining four focus areas: prevention, intervention, suppression, and consequences, including harsher penalties and indictable offences for auto theft and gang crimes.
A critique argues Manitoba Premier Gary Doer seeks a UN Heritage designation for an east boreal forest to block a hydro line. It claims the plan ignores costs and impacts, emphasizing legacy and media appeal over practical alternatives.
The Progressive Conservatives accuse the NDP of holiday pretense and mismanagement as Question Period highlights the west Lake Winnipegosis power line plan cost and a taxpayer funded beer expense. They vow to hold the government to account while prioritizing safety health economy and environment.
A commentator attacks out-of-province critics arguing against boreal forest hydro projects. They claim Manitoba aboriginals lack basics while defending development, noting polluted communities and derelict infrastructure, and criticizing Gary Doer as self-serving.
