MPI Time to examine Manitoba Public Utilities Board ruling
Manitoba's Public Utilities Board approved a 45 percent rebate of MPI vehicle insurance premiums for 2009/10, averaging $450 to ratepayers and totaling about $320 million. The move prompts questions about MPI's pricing and governance, with calls for cost efficiency and fairness. The rebate must be paid by May 31, raising scrutiny of Crown corporations and political perspectives on future reform.

Discredited Tim Ball gets near full page in Roblin Review
The Roblin Review on March 22 runs a lengthy piece titled Global warming Man it Manitoba farmers better hope it happens, featuring Tim Ball who is described as a discredited figure. Ball is facing a libel suit from Canadian climate scientist Andrew Weaver, a leading IPCC author. The conservative site Ball wrote for has apologized and retracted statements about Weaver, with many Ball articles deleted. The piece labels Ball a non climate scientist who quit the University of Winnipeg in 1995 after a sparse academic output.

It notes NOAA data that 2010 tied 2005 as the warmest period on record and 1998 as the third warmest year, while Arctic ice recedes. It questions media portrayal and hints at funding mystery linked to Friends of Science.
