Just say no (to deficits during good economic times)

Tom Brodbeck 5 minute read Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2019

When a political party pledges to run small, “manageable” deficits if elected, it almost always means it will go deeper into the red if it wins government.

It’s human nature.

After all, as a government, if you get the blessing of the public to spend beyond your means, what’s a few billion more a year in overspending?

The problem is, it doesn’t usually end there. When those same politicians seek re-election, they often want permission to post even larger deficits. In some cases, they’ve abandoned the idea of balancing the books altogether, arguing perpetual deficit financing is acceptable, as long as the debt doesn’t exceed a certain percentage of the economy.

Ottawa announces $500 million for North End sewage plant upgrade

Joyanne Pursaga 4 minute read 5:03 PM CDT

The federal government will provide $500 million to help complete the major upgrade to Winnipeg’s North End sewage treatment plant.

Winnipeg South MP Terry Duguid confirmed the total funding at a news conference at the plant Friday, calling the work critical to Winnipeg’s future.

“The stakes could not be higher. Without expanded wastewater treatment, Winnipeg would run out of capacity to build new homes and accommodate new industries within six years,” said Duguid.

The commitment offers the final funding needed to cover the $1.57-billion third and final phase of the upgrade. The city and province will also pay $500 million each for the work.

Regulator urged to force MPI to lower rates, tackle claims costs

Nicole Buffie 4 minute read Updated: 5:01 PM CDT

A citizen-led coalition has urged the Public Utilities Board to order Manitoba Public Insurance to lower its rates, which it says would force the Crown corporation to tackle rising claims costs.

The Consumers Coalition described MPI as “risk-averse,” at a hearing this week to discuss its application for a rate increase.

“The last three (general rate applications) have demonstrated that the corporation is running out of ideas and tools to mitigate rate increases and are executing a strategic plan grounded in their legacy business model,” said Katrine Dilay, a lawyer for the Public Interest Law Centre who spoke on behalf of the coalition.

Dilay said the coalition believes MPI is riding out the cost pressures and passing them on to ratepayers rather than preparing for the future.

Brian Bowman wins mayoral battle

Aldo Santin and Mary Agnes Welch 5 minute read Thursday, Oct. 23, 2014

In the end, it wasn’t even close.

A mayoral race that was supposed to be a head-to-head battle between privacy lawyer Brian Bowman and former NDP MP and MLA Judy Wasylycia-Leis turned into a rout on election night. Wasylycia-Leis, the experienced politician, had held what looked like an unassailable lead for months, but Bowman, the outsider who promised Winnipeggers a better, prosperous future, chipped doggedly away at it.

“I’m excited to tell you that positive change is coming to city hall,” Bowman told roaring supporters at the Inn At The Forks after making his way into the small ballroom accompanied by his wife and two young sons.

He said he hadn’t expecting such a landslide victory, but had believed that the campaign was building momentum.

Science-art collaboration injects dose of emotion into cold, hard truths

Sarah Lawrynuik 5 minute read Wednesday, Apr. 28, 2021

Looking at spreadsheets and map plots of trees is far beyond Rhian Brynjolson’s typical day as a visual artist, but she became entranced and inspired by data collected by Canadian scientists for a new art project.

Her hope is to try and bring the numbers, map dots and statistics to life in a new way to help the public better connect to climate science.

Falcon Lake’s Brynjolson is one of 12 Canadian artists who participated in an art-science collaboration exhibit, co-ordinated by the Global Water Futures program out of the University of Saskatchewan. The project saw the artists paired with researchers and scientists across the country who then engaged in conversations to try to inspire a new angle to their art.

“The whole idea behind it is: water is life,” says Louise Arnal, the project lead, and a post-doctoral fellow at the Centre for Hydrology and Coldwater Laboratory.
