Canada vs. the United States — evenly matched

Gwynne Dyer 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Canada’s “trade war” with the United States, ignited on Aug. 21 when Prime Minister Mark Carney walked out of trade talks with the Trump administration, is not the foredoomed David vs. Goliath struggle it seems.

It’s really about sovereignty, not trade, and Canada stands a fair chance of winning.

“Winning” in this context, of course, can be defined as surviving with as little damage as possible despite the tenfold superiority in population and wealth of its giant neighbour. Canada has had more than two centuries of practice at that. If Carney can keep his nerve, it can do it again.

The tariffs that Trump has imposed on some Canadian products (and the precisely equal tariffs that Canada has slapped on some American imports) will cause some job losses and considerable economic pain in both countries. However, they only affect about five per cent of the US$872 billion of annual trade between the two countries.

Winnipeg man among those missing in Nepal flash flood

Free Press staff 2 minute read 10:06 AM CDT

A Winnipeg man on a pilgrimage in Nepal is among nearly 2,000 people missing after a deadly flash flood devastated a popular tourist region along the Himalayan border earlier this week.

Mohit Kaushik, 49, was travelling with a tour group taking part in the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, a sacred, days-long pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar in neighbouring Tibet, according to social media posts.

“Our friend and neighbour, Mohit Kaushik, a resident of Winnipeg, Canada, has been out of contact since yesterday while travelling from Timure during his pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar,” Swikriti Pokhrel wrote in a social media post. “If you have seen him or find his name on any hospital list, please let us know. Thank you.”

Kaushik has not been heard from since Wednesday, when a glacier collapse in the nearby Himalayas triggered catastrophic flooding and landslides, sending a torrent of ice, rock and debris roughly 100 kilometres downstream.

Time to let the capital crocus bloom

Time to let the capital crocus bloom

Brian Hayward 5 minute read Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2021

In the rest of the world, the crocus symbolizes new beginnings. Not in Manitoba, where the “Crocus” remains a noxious word-weed in our investment-capital ecosystem, choking out new growth.

The damage related to the Crocus Investment Fund wasn’t related to its investment track record, but still that damage continues, through the atrophy of entrepreneurial spirit and investment skills Manitoba needs to realize its potential.

Fifteen years ago, in an article titled “Crocus was too healthy to kill,” Free Press columnist Dan Lett wrote that “Crocus was an unparallelled success story that created jobs and wealth … when it ran into trouble, there were more than enough people willing to turn their backs and let it slide into oblivion.”

Crocus investments include our downtown arena, National Leasing, Pollard Banknote and Wow Hospitality.

Cycling-plan foes unite

Cycling-plan foes unite

By Aldo Santin 4 minute read Thursday, Jul. 2, 2015

A trio of city councillors is proposing to gut the pedestrian and cycling strategy.

Couns. Russ Wyatt, Jeff Browaty and Jason Schreyer want to see the budget scaled back from its proposed $334 million to $55 million; the number of downtown protected bike routes cut in half; all references to sidewalk snow clearing eliminated and the document classified as a "guideline" rather than city council policy.

"We have to do what we feel is right in representing our constituents and bringing forth their concerns," Wyatt (Transcona) said following a special meeting Tuesday of the East Kildonan-Transcona community committee.

The cycling and pedestrian strategy is a 20-year blueprint for expansion of pedestrian and cycling pathways across Winnipeg, which is going to council for approval at its July 15 meeting.

Rally against mask use in Winkler schools scores points with health minister

Julia-Simone Rutgers and Carol Sanders 4 minute read Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020

Manitoba Health Minister Cameron Friesen says the organizers of a recent hundreds-strong rally in Winkler against mandatory face mask rules in local schools made “some good points."

On Tuesday, a mask-less group of around 600 parents and children gathered in a closely-packed outdoor setting to voice opposition to Garden Valley School Division’s COVID-19 pandemic precautions, including mandated masks for students grades 4 and up, with doctor’s notes required for an exemption.

“My firm belief is that all directives related to mandatory mask-wearing in Canada are infringing on the rights of individual Canadians,” organizer Heather DiFrancesco said in a presentation to GVSD board trustees while the rally took place outside.

“There are many parents who believe wearing a mask may cause psychological and physical harm to their children.”
