Canada faces debt and tax woes in 1985 outlook
The Rossburn Review outlines Canada's rising federal debt near 200 billion and 7,500 per person, with interest eroding tax revenue.

Also notes a Treherne horse attack, Roblin curling rink plans funded by a 75,000 grant and a 145,000 building fund, and Portage la Prairie's new 300-seat pub planned for December.
