Editorial notes the Manitoba NDP opposition plans and the Filmon government timeline toward a 1999 spring election. It highlights stalled NDP plotting, fiscal gains under Stefanson, and the Pan Am Games in Winnipeg, with Len Evans commenting on interprovincial net migration falling from 10,000 in 1989 to just over 1,000 last year and continuing low this year.

Public mistrust of politicians highlighted by three examples
The author blasts leaders at all government levels for secrecy and spin. He cites federal cover ups on torture in the Armed Forces, manipulated fisheries science on cod stocks, and Ottawa gagging Winnipeg’s mosquitologist Randy Gadawski while politicized spin replaces facts. The piece argues these actions fuel public mistrust.
