Ignoring the facts makes for a better budget story

Dan Lett 6 minute read Tuesday, Sep. 29, 2020

In Premier Brian Pallister's world, the public accounts for the 2019-2020 fiscal year serve as the ultimate good news story.

The final accounting of government revenues and expenditures, the public accounts show a small surplus of $5 million. According to Pallister, this was accomplished without much pain for Manitobans, who can now share in the knowledge that finally, mercifully, the books are balanced.

Of course, in accentuating the positive, Pallister had to ignore a few things.

Such as tens of thousands of government workers who have gone without a pay increase for three years. And a health-care system that, despite an influx of funds last year, continues to suffer from three years of crippling underfunding. And infrastructure spending that has been cut back by hundreds of millions of dollars. And an education system in chaos from the dual pressures of austerity and pandemic upheaval.

Talented women's hoops team has podium dreams

The Canadian Press 7 minute read Tuesday, Jul. 20, 2021

Canada's finest women's basketball players gathered for a national team camp back in February. They discussed strategy. They pored over game film. They did team bonding exercises.

But a full year after they'd clinched their Tokyo Olympic berth, the players were scattered across the globe. Their camp was virtual due to COVID-19. There were no drills against the soundtrack of squeaking sneakers and hollered directions, only players' faces laid out like a checkerboard across their computer screens.

Canada's women's basketball team went 16 months without stepping onto the floor together, but the players never lost sight of their shared goal: climbing the medal podium in Tokyo. They held onto hope that the bonds built over the years together would be enough to bridge the kilometres between them.

"What hasn't (COVID-19) impacted over the past 16 months for us?" coach Lisa Thomaidis said recently. "It's been unbelievably challenging, I guess you could say, when you're trying to prepare a team for an Olympic Games, and you can't be together up until essentially the 11th hour.

MIKE DEAL / FREE PRESS FILES Scott Johnston was first elected to the legislature in 2016, as the MLA for St. James. He then switched constituencies and won Assiniboia, where he’s been a lifelong resident.

Too close to call in Assiniboia

Marsha McLeod 2 minute read Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023

The Winnipeg constituency of Assiniboia was too close to call Tuesday, with the NDP candidate leading over the incumbent Tory minister of seniors and long-term care.

At 11:15 p.m., Elections Manitoba, reporting just seven of 18 polls, had the NDP’s Nellie Kennedy with a 562-vote lead over Progressive Conservative incumbent Scott Johnston in the swing riding on the western edge of the city.

Losing the seat would be a blow for the Tories, but it would be a moral, rather than a functional, one. A win for the PC incumbent would do little to dent the NDP’s majority victory. Liberal Charles Ward was running a distant third.

A NDP win would be a reversal. In the 2016 and 2019 elections, the party lost Assiniboia to the PCs by roughly 16- and nine-point margins, respectively. Johnston won with 44 per cent of the vote in 2019.

Few consumer-facing industries illustrate the potential and pitfalls of artificial intelligence more than the financial services sector.

Generative AI — the technology powering chatbots that can seemingly think and provide reasonably correct, if not insightful, answers to our questions — is arguably a wonder of the modern world.

The potential for providing financial advice is indeed palpable. Then again, it’s not hard to imagine the technology running amok especially with people’s money.

A recent report on digital banking services provides insight on the risks and opportunities.

My birthday is Jan. 7 — the same day Ukrainians traditionally celebrate Christmas, according to the Julian calendar.

I know this because my best friend’s family, the Kowalchuks, every year invited me for dinner at their home in Lockport. They would combine their most important day with mine — sharing perogies, cabbage rolls, and gifts alongside singing happy birthday.

In many ways, I was their fourth son — something I value to this day.

This is why I couldn’t look away Thursday when Russian forces invaded Ukraine, for Ukrainians are my people, too.

Faith and gratitude

Ryan Thorpe 5 minute read Saturday, Oct. 5, 2019

Alfred Bell dedicated his life to bringing light to some of the darkest places on Earth.

Born to missionary parents in Tibet, a disputed region within the borders of China, in 1936, Bell would grow up to follow in his parents’ footsteps: he would spend his life sharing the word of God to others.

As a child, his family was twice forced into exile, both before and after the Second World War. By the time Bell was roughly 15 years old, his family had settled in Canada for good.

In his early 20s, Bell met Marie, the love of his life and future mother of his children. Their marriage lasted 61 years and produced three kids: Faith, Dorothy and Steve.
