Manitoba economy eyes new growth benchmarks in 1979
Premier Sterling Lyon cites revised 1977 Manitoba GPP at 8.7 billion with 1978 at about 9 percent growth and 1979 output above 10 billion. Real growth concerns include high interest rates and federal deficits, while farm income rises and forest products and manufacturing show solid gains. Rural and urban indicators point to a stronger economy though wage, trade, and grain marketing shifts loom.

Manitoba Cattle Producers Assoc responds to Strathclair letter
The Manitoba Cattle Producers Assoc defends its stance on Act 25, arguing it cannot act as a marketing body but can research markets and draft schemes to improve producer returns. It asserts the MCPA is autonomous, not controlled by the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association or the government, and rebuts Tony Riley’s criticisms.
