Manitoba columnist notes the last Christmas of the 20th century as the century ends. He mockingly criticizes Y2K fears and praises Premier Doer for a modest surplus and a new potato plant. The piece recalls past premiers Roblin and Duff Roblin, Laurier, and Chretien, and comments on Gore vs Bush and McKinley’s 1901 death.
