Funding Ottawa's illegitimate children
Peter Holle of the Manitoba Taxpayers Association argues that government funding supports thousands of advocacy groups, often led by lavishly paid staff. He cites 6,500 groups receiving government cash and a $4.2 million federal outlay to public interest groups, urging an end to taxpayer subsidies and urging groups to rely on private support.

Starbuck eyes straw pulp plant venture in 1995
Starbuck residents and the Chamber of Commerce push a straw pulp project led by B C entrepreneur Al Wong. Farmers shipped 100 tons of wheat and flax straw to Vulcan Alberta for demonstration while discussions span funding, ownership, and local paper prospects. Local support also fuels the Starbuck Shadow newspaper as recycling and community initiatives grow.
