The federal Conservative party, once down to about two seats, shows signs of revival after a Winnipeg policy conference. Leader Jean Charest earns praise for steadiness while delegates push for a broad, moderate platform. Manitoba figures, including Brandon's Rick Borostik, loom large as the party eyes several rural seats.

Right to be Different Sparks Winnipeg raid Controversy
A five month lapse since Winnipeg Police staged a predawn raid on group homes tied to a farm and restaurant known as The Common Ground. The officers searched for abducted boys from 1989 but found no charges. Witnesses described the operation as an armed break in with live photos taken, separating children from guardians for hours. The Community’s leaders, including David Saylor, defend their beliefs and lifestyle as lawful.
