The piece contrasts holiday commercialism with the humility of Christ's birth noting the season's push for consumer items. It suggests keeping Christ in Christmas while jokingly proposing a February holiday to reset the mood and remind readers of joy and unity.
A tongue in cheek critique of Ann Landers and B Mulroney leads to a broader attack on deregulation and inter provincial telecom moves. The piece notes rural subsidies endangered by loss of profits from long distance calls and cites Manitoba Manitoba ministers lobbying Ottawa and hiring a $100,000 firm for two months to sway policy.
The piece argues that illicit liquor importation by RCMP officers in Steinbach signals a broader Manitoba problem. It links cheaper U S liquor under Free Trade to rising smuggling, noting many illegal beverages surface in beverage rooms while hoteliers seek revenue. It warns at all levels legitimacy is eroding.
Roblin residents recount the history behind Goose Lake beyond its lake and settlement origins. The Goose Lake Collegiate era, school consolidations, and the 1974 renaming to Goose Lake High followed student name submissions and local governance changes led by Borden Hawryluk, the school trustee.
Grade 12 English students argue Goose Lake High best reflects Roblin’s past. They note Goose Lake’s original community name and the first secondary school titled Goose Lake Collegiate, urging public support for restoring the name.
The Ottawa farm outlook conference forecasts 1990 net farm income plummeting to 37 million from 285 million in 1989 due to falling grain prices and reduced federal support.

The piece calls for diversification and stronger provincial Ottawa pressure to sustain farmers.
