Pride in Our Own Protest Reaffirms Manitoba Pride in Centennial Effort
The Winnipeg Free Press rebukes calls for bigger federal money to fund Manitoba’s centennial celebrations. It argues Manitoba should fund its observance locally, noting many towns showcase pride in locally financed projects. It defends Roblin government’s welfare and senior care policies, and criticizes opposition for politicizing pensions. It also cites Maclean’s take on rural schooling and Ontario’s small schools versus US-style modern systems. It ends with a note on beef price drivers from plastics replacing leather and the joke about a house head veto.
