Manitoba proposes amendments to Highway Traffic Act
Manitoba legislature outlined amendments to The Manitoba Traffic Act including stricter impaired driving penalties mirroring federal rules. First offences would trigger at least three months licence suspension, with longer bans for repeat offences. Convicted drivers must complete an impaired drivers course before reinstatement, with drug and alcohol offences now covered. A compulsory commercial vehicle inspection program for tractors and semi-trailers will be introduced, two trailers behind fifth wheel hitch allowed, and tag axle use restricted to prevent overloading. Time payment plan clarifications for premiums, suspension of driving privileges for nonpayment, and broader safety goals emphasized by Highways Minister John Plohman.

Parasites in Manitoba Fish During Summer Fishing
Anglers may encounter parasites in caught fish, with about 75 types in Manitoba. Parasites mostly infest intestines and appear in perch, white suckers, pike, and walleye flesh. Only tapeworms in pike and walleye flesh and another parasite in white suckers pose human risk. Cut out visible parasites, freeze or cook thoroughly to eliminate risk.

A second quarter payout of 0.71 per hundredweight was issued, with 191,000 hogs marketed April through June and total support now 234,000.
