Several items of note in this week's Banner & Press, the most important being the call of the Provinical election. Details inside this week on the candidates we know of at this moment for Agassiz and Riding Mountain. As well, news stories on the opening of Minnedosa's brand new arena, the closure of the emergency department in Carberry and a piece of Manitoba history finding a home at a Neepawa business. Those stories and so much more in the Sept. 8 edition of the Neepawa Banner & Press.

By the time you read this column, Manitoba will be well into its provincial election. It will be a short writ period, as election day is Oct. 3. As reported in the Winnipeg Free Press on Sept. 4, “There are 57 seats up for grabs in what is expected to be a tight, bitter battle for control of the legislature, as the province’s first woman to serve as premier tries to persuade voters to give the Progressive Conservatives a third term in office.”
The NDP, led by Wab Kinew, will try to convince the voters that the PCs made way too many cuts and the NDP will have to spend more on just about everything.
I disagree, but my opinion doesn’t matter much, I have only one vote just like everyone else. The real problem is that little more than half the people vote and that in itself is disgusting. Maybe it’s apathy, or maybe a feeling of helplessness, that they don’t vote is appalling to me.

Over the past few weeks, I have been noting some news items that seem strange to say the least. It is becoming more difficult to sort out truth from fiction.
