The Manitoba government's policy regarding new casinos is designed to provide opportunities for First Nations people to generate jobs for aboriginal people, develop management and entrepreneurial skills and provide resources for investment in social and economic development that will improve conditions and prospects for First Nations peoples throughout the province.

A salary freeze is less draconian -- services are maintained and public sector jobs are preserved. However, there is again a degree of unfairness inherent in the proposal. Earnings of provincial employees are frozen, but not those of other workers. Within the public sector, other inequities arise. Workers with relatively new contracts may already be enjoying pay increases. Others whose contracts are about to expire are denied a chance to improve their wages. There is fertile ground for resentment. Unfortunately, there is a procedural problem, and now we come to the villain of the piece. The province's Balanced Budget, Fiscal Management and Taxpayer Accountability Act, introduced by the Filmon government back in 1995, prevents the government from raising overall income taxes, sales taxes...

IT came and went, then promptly vanished from the radar screen. One more historical footnote in Winnipeg's periodic efforts to "find itself" and reverse its relentless slide down the rankings of Canadian cities, Sam Katz's city summit showcased a few good ideas. But the causes of our relative decline lie beyond the scope of city government. The summit created an expensive cameo for Katz, but ignored the reality that the mayor has limited power. Merely the lead cheerleader, he can do little to restructure government. The hammer for reform lies in the legislature, the only vehicle for a comprehensive rewrite of the City of Winnipeg Act. Katz chose a cozy, "by invitation only" format -- a mistake in an extraordinarily tribal community with hierarchies of "ins" and "outs," where political c...

Unfortunately for [Colin Craig], this strategy has been tried in Winnipeg, and in B.C., where I now live. It's called privatization -- where public-sector jobs are contracted out to a private company under the guise of "saving taxpayer dollars," employees are paid less for the same work, and the difference goes from the pockets of working Joes to the pockets of business owners. Unfortunately, privatization always costs the taxpayer more: I challenge Mr. Craig to find an example where privatization has saved a government money in the long run. Gerry Kendall states that "it now seems likely that the Iraq war will turn out to be an American foreign policy triumph." His assertion is based upon a Chicago Tribune opinion piece reprinted in the Free Press. Because the Chicago Tribune is a "lib...
I thought the province and especially our northern leaders would jump on it but they haven't," he said. "It discriminates against workers in the north. The northern people are getting the shortest end of the stick. If you look at the whole Canadian map, this is the only region where there's no overtime provision in this country now. "The province has been getting away with saying they've left it to the companies. That's what their standard line has been up to now. What happens is the biggest users of this--or abusers, I should say -- is the provincial government itself because of the forest fire policy. If a forest fire starts in Big River, the firefighters there get overtime. But if it's in Dore Lake, 50 miles north, they don't get overtime," he said. "The one's that really get hit o...

Successive Canadian governments have ceded Canada's energy policy to the U.S. Now, the Conservatives have ceded Canada's environmental policy too. The Harper Conservatives were born and bred in the Calgary oil patch, which in turn was born and bred in the U.S. oil industry. Ever since Canada signed the 1989 Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, it has had only one core economic development strategy - boosting exports, says Seth Klein, director of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives' B.C. office. "We have no meaningful industrial strategy," he wrote in the Vancouver Sun Oct. 8. "Our federal governments have not had a real vision for the role of government in economic development, strategic procurement, or the nurturing of new sectors. Rather, all the economic eggs have been in one ba...
