Silver lining in jobs cloud by Tony Carlson
Small business operators expect a jobs rebound in early 1985 with 5.4 percent growth by June and 200,000 net new positions. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business finds rising capital investment and inventory plans, with Atlantic provinces leading gains. Ottawa’s Michael Wilson could leverage this optimism in the upcoming budget to cut regulations, ease taxes, and spur capital for the sector.

Ottawa funding hailed as good first step for Manitoba
Premier Howard Pawley called Ottawa's plan to give Manitoba $50 million more in equalization for 1985-86 a good first step toward fair treatment. He noted the figure equals just over two thirds of the potential 1986 year. He said he warned Prime Minister Brian Mulroney that the federal plan to add $65 million next year could still leave Manitoba facing a shortfall of about $8 million in 1986-87.
