Manitoba voters shown split federal provincial support
Manitoba voters exhibit political split with many backing the Progressive Conservatives provincially while supporting the Liberal party federally. The 1997 results saw Liberal wins in six Manitoba ridings as Reform shifts to Canadian Alliance, influencing both provincial and federal races. Vic Toews and Brian Pallister emerge as CA contenders, while Stuart Murray pursues the Kirkfield Park by election and Heather Stefanson runs in Tuxedo.

Capital gains tax cut reshapes investor strategy
Last week's column notes Paul Martin's October 18 capital gains relief, allowing 50 percent of gains from apartments, stocks, and funds to be tax free. The Liberal move, a second cut in nine months, shifts incentives toward investing, with lower effective rates for all brackets and stronger support for entrepreneurship and wealth creation.
