Manitoba union bill stirs hearings over certification rule
Public hearings on Bill 44 draw 100 delegates with business leaders warning 40 to 65 percent support would trigger a certification vote while over 65 percent would force automatic unionization. Critics charge the process is rushed and unfair as leaders condemn late night proceedings.

Farm land out for production in three year plan
Ottawa proposes a three year program totaling 1.1 billion dollars annually for crop insurance net income stabilization and disaster aid. A 40 dollar per acre option would cost the federal government about 344 million to retire 10 percent of farmland. NFU seeks multinational backing with a three percent annual land retirement from major exporters to curb subsidies. EU and US already run similar schemes and Manitoba group KAP backs the idea with provincial talks led by Ag Minister Rosann Wowchuk.
