Farmers face possible rapid herd reductions as drought-struck hay and pasture crops hit Manitoba and Saskatchewan. A weakening feed supply could force cuts just as livestock production shows promise, highlighting the sector's vulnerability amid tight grain deliveries and low reserves.

Manitoba politics drift after election leaves minority path
A long analysis notes the June election left Manitoba with a fragile minority government led by Duff Roblin and a largely reshaped legislature. It contrasts 1935 coalition tactics with today’s narrow Conservative edge, while praising Stinson’s independence and recalling Kapoor Kardash’s exit and Bachynsky’s speakership. It also highlights pioneer tributes as communities mark jubilees, particularly St. Boniface, celebrating roots of French and English speaking allies.

History of Forts Told to Spy Hill Group
The July meeting of the Wolverine Hobby and Historical Society featured Don McKenzie of Esterhazy presenting on Fort John, one of the North West Company forts along the Qu Appelle River. He traced its origins with John Macdonnell, noted Fort Esperance in 1798, and covered relocations, archival references, and the 1816 establishment near Stanley Brown's farmyard. The talk covered the Fort Esperance and Fort John sites, the 1819 closure, the Metis conflict leading to Seven Oaks, and Macdonnell’s complex legacy. The group discussed site access, a marker near Pelly Trail, and a future Hudson Bay Fort replica at Harmony Colony.
