Common sense missing in Manitoba governance illustrated
Two Winnipeg Free Press articles illustrate bureaucratic overreach. A father faced assault charges and a six month protection order after spanking his daughter at a day camp, while Child and Family Services removed the child and placed her in a foster home. The other article reports Education Minister Bjornson's funding plan distributing 16 million dollars to 28 divisions only if taxes are not raised, with St James-Assiniboia facing a 2 million cut to receive a total of 355,934. The pieces question how guidelines and politics have overshadowed practical judgment.
