Where to Now Where to Now Perspective on a Changing Centre
Where to Now is a Prairie Centre weekly current affairs commentary by Kevin Avram. The piece critiques Ralph Goodale and the Wheat Board dispute with farmer McMechan, noting a political backlash as provincial votes lean against monopoly and farmers display protests across Saskatchewan and Alberta. It argues Goodale ignored non partisan panel recommendations and risks his career amid rising farmer anger.

Letter to the editor on Morden Pink loosestrife status
A reader disputes a Russell Banner article calling Morden Pink a benign cultivar. Citing Kim Ottenbriet and studies from Manitoba and Minnesota, the letter argues all Lythrum salicaria cultivars can seed and spread loosestrife, notes Manitoba Agriculture added Lythrum to the noxious weed list, and urges removal of Morden Pink from gardens to protect wetlands. Cory Lindgren of the Manitoba Purple Loosestrife Project provides contact details for more information.
