Members of the legislature now face few restrictions over their messages to Manitobans in taxpayer-paid mailings. The long-standing unwritten rule, as established by a legislative committee, allows a political free-for-all in the mailed material, as long as MLAs or the caucuses of parties do not solicit political donations or try to sign up members. [Bill] 37 would impose new "non-partisan" criteria on these political messages, with a government-dominated group of MLAs deciding what is and isn't "partisan." Until that group sets the criteria, the mailings would conform to rules governing the allowances MLAs are given to operate riding offices. They bar advertising material that seeks to influence voter support for any party as well as mentions of party affiliation.

Not that long ago, green lobbyists would tell us we could have a strong economy while improving the environment, but more and more they are now telling us that the economy is the problem. At McGill University, David Suzuki delivered a blistering attack against economic growth. Bill Clinton recently admitted that to fight global warming, "we just have to slow down our economy." And here in Manitoba, Conservation Minister Stan Struthers talks about the "unprecedented growth that has taken place since the early 1990s in the hog industry" and surprise, surprise, the "need to slow things down.
The ban affects the part of Manitoba where two-thirds of all hog production currently exists and was most likely to continue expanding. While all sorts of non-government market forces are wreaking ha...
