Privatize Manitoba Hydro to seize Ontario misfortune
Peter Holle argues Manitoba Hydro should convert to private ownership to raise capital and expand into the deregulated North American market.

Talks on rail lines and the CTA impact in Canada
The CTA of 1996 promised a golden age for short lines, but after a year Saskatchewan shows only one short line and Alberta similar declines. Manitoba has none, with Lyleton subdivision abandoned and CP slowing deals. Omnitrax seeks compensation, while abandonment rises and save efforts surge in Saskatchewan’s southwest.

Knowledge powers community networks for growth says columnist
Neighbour towns learn that information flow catalyzes jobs and investment. A Canadian CAP program builds rural community networks linking minutes, scores, weather, events, chat lines, and training. Examples from Eriksdale Cavonport Viking show networks delivering minutes, school links, job banks and tourist data, drawing 7 000 to 8 000 hits monthly.
