The piece argues Bill C-18 shifts Western Canada's grain marketing away from the CWB single desk, notes court challenges by former CWB directors, and questions whether a proper plebiscite on farmer will occurred. It contrasts federal action with Western farmers' opinions and reflects on democracy and legitimacy surrounding the reform.

Weather echoes in Taber harvest storms of 1911
A Taber Times review notes 1911 grain harvest disruption from blizzards on November 7 8 and 12 and record cold reaching 30 below, with three weeks of threshing left as snow cleared. By mid December most grain was in, and farmers faced long waits for crews while ads and Christmas events fill the town.
