Collapsing paradigms on the Internet and taxes in Manitoba
Peter Holle argues the Internet will erode government revenue and public services, shrinking the tax base as e commerce grows. He predicts the postal monopoly will collapse, schools face new options, and communications costs drop, prompting relocations to lower tax regions and a push to slim government. Buck Rogers is used as a sharp contrast to politicians.

Dauphin Countryfest sells out and sparks 1997 plans
The last weekend pass to the 1996 Dauphin Countryfest sold on December 21, seven weeks after 9,500 tickets were released. Festival president Tom Van Buekenhout says Countryfest is a hot ticket and could be the province’s only major country event, funding 1997 profits and the Parkland Recreation Complex site. The piece also notes a tragedy in Neepawa, Manitoba, a fatal septicemia case in a 15 year old, and a prior Langruth embezzlement case leading to a $500 fine and two years probation for a former bingo club secretary-treasurer.
