Government unity push funds flags and toll lines in Canada
Brian Kelsey argues against a $25 million national unity agency and tax subsidized flag campaigns aimed at Quebec separatists. He questions pork barrel spending for unity in Canada, noting past efforts and debt concerns while urging taxpayers to resist state patriotism and rely on private initiative to obtain flags. He also recalls debates over the Charlottetown Accord and bilingualism programs.

What makes small communities special
A community party at St. Jean Baptiste supports Natalie Foidart a 10 year old facing abdominal cancer with six to nine months of chemotherapy while boosting morale and funds. The Pas hosts annual fundraisers including the Breanne Hanson Memorial Bike Ride now in its fourth year raising about $20,000 this year from a 440 mile ride. The Opasquia Times praises riders as an example of what makes small communities special.
