The G20 host city's squeaky-clean reputation took a nasty hit as defining images of smoke-gunning riot police, burning cop cruisers and random glass-smashing vandalism filled television screens after weeks of growing dismay at a fence-lined security gauntlet which, ultimately, was proved necessary. [...] if the choreographed glimpses of Harper with his pals were any indication, the prime minister is obviously at ease with his hosting role and he appeared to do did well in the difficult position of chairing a herd of cats with wildly divergent personalities and priorities.

If it's the right thing to do environmentally, then we should do it," said Coun. Bill Clement, one of council's most powerful members and the outspoken chair of the public works committee. "But it bugs me that we're being directed by another level of government but they're not signing any cheques. The sewage overhaul is really dozens of smaller improvements to the city's three sewage plants to filter out bacteria, nitrogen and phosphorous from the treated water that's poured back into the Red River, as well as the sludge that's squeezed out at the end of the treatment process. * Household waste and rainwater run-off from streets ends up in the same pipe. When there's a big storm, the pipes and the treatment plants can't cope with the influx, so the sewers overflow into the rivers. Ab...
AFTER 35 years of shrugging at each other, the City of Winnipeg and the province could be close to finally deciding which level of government is responsible for public health inspections in Manitoba's capital city. Right now, both the city and province deliver this service in different regions of the capital -- evidence of just how dysfunctional the relationship between the city and the province truly is. The province will provide about $188 million in grants to the city to help pay for civic services this year alone. There are grants for the operation of Winnipeg Transit, repair of critical infrastructure, the hiring of police officers, ambulances, libraries, mosquito fogging, and Dutch Elm disease control. These do not include an array of other essentially civic services (after-schoo...
We looked at what happened in our ICUs in the spring, made some projections about (H1N1) being worse than it was in the spring and built that into the $105-million projection," [Theresa Oswald] told reporters. "If there are substantially more severely ill people there is no question that cost will rise. Oswald said while the cost of fighting H1N1 will be high, it's justified. "We're not going to cap the number of people that are allowed to have a ventilator," she said. Oswald said the province's vaccine costs to date -- including administering the shots -- amount to about $15 million. "The other unknown cost of course will be the level of severe illness that we experience. It could be similar to what we saw in the spring or worse, which would be a substantial cost," Oswald said. "We k...
Winnipeg spent at least $6 million fighting this spring's flood, but the tab would have been worse without flood-protection measures put in place following 1997's Flood of the Century. [Justin Swandel] said Winnipeg's flood-fighting tab will likely rise once all the spending conducted in April is tabulated. But the province, which plans to release a flood-fighting estimate of its own within the next few weeks, has helped ease the pain by providing Winnipeg with $4.1 million in disaster assistance, according to the financial status report. But the 2009 flood has placed Winnipeg in a potential deficit position, according to the same report.
No government can rewrite history no matter how much it may want to," says a Nov. 18, 2005 document prepared as the Liberals planned to make a number of payments under the three-year compensation fund they created in the February 2005 budget. "In this context the Government of Canada is prepared to express deep sorrow for the actions of previous governments but believes that by apologizing for these actions, it will be perceived as accepting liability for actions which were legal and over which this government had absolutely no control. Rather, the government continues to believe that the best approach is to acknowledge, commemorate and educate Canadians about these historical experiences to ensure that they are never repeated. "The agreement in principle represents a first step with ...
The new product, to be called On7, will carry breaking news, sports and entertainment stories and will only be available in vending boxes for $1 or on newsstands and retail outlets for $1.25. It will not be delivered to subscribers' homes. We're tired of cutting. We want to build something that's good and strong for the future. (On7) is a new model for how the Free Press publishes in Winnipeg," he said. As for how the new On7 moniker was chosen, [Bob Cox] said: "We didn't want a tired, old newspaper name that has been used to death. We wanted to come up with something new and interesting that hasn't been tried before.
