MCU Assets Increase To Just Under $130 Million
By Hillary Miller
T he Minnedosa Credit
Union held its 71st An-
nual General Meeting on
Tuesday, April 10th. The
meeting was held at the
United Church Hall and

attendance.
The meeting began
with dinner being served
to all of those who attend-
ed, followed by a greeting
by Barry McNabb. After
the sudden resignation
of former MCU President
Beth McNabb, Barry is now
appointed as the president
of the board.

Town Appoints Marcino As Official Weed Inspector
By Hillary Miller
A s per provincial regu-
lation, the Town of
Minnedosa was required
to appoint an official Weed
Inspector. This appoint-
ment has fallen on the
shoulders of our esteemed
Public Works Manager,
Kevin Marcino, who has
graciously accepted the
title, in addition to his cur-
rent manager position.
Marcino commented
that this was a natural ap-
pointment, since he was
already doing the job, it
just needed to be made of-
ficial.
The job entails being
aware of and tackling any
of the noxious weeds that
are coming in to the com-
munity, keeping an eye on
them and treating them.
He is only responsible for
the weeds within the town
limits, as the R.M. of Min-
to-Odanah will have their
own Weed Inspector.

then announced the 2017
fiscal year’s patronage re-
fund will be $220,000. This
is a decrease from the pre-
vious year’s patronage re-
fund, which was $260,000.
This was an inten-
tional decrease, due to the
decision to bring down the
patronage that is paid out,
in order to increase the in-
terest rate that is paid on
deposits and decrease the
interest rate that is charged
on loans at the time of
the deposit or loan being
granted. The total patron-

paid out since 1994, when
they first started paying
patronage, is $6.8 million.

Minnedosa does not cur-

that are causing problems.

from flower gardens,” he
said, noting that some
weeds are pretty in appear-
ance, making them popu-

not so popular once they

Most of what appears
on the Manitoba Weed

his role.

Good news for all...
Community newspaper publishers received some
very welcome news during last weekend’s Manitoba
Community Newspapers Association convention.
Cathy Cox, Minister for Sport, Culture and Heritage
not only brought greetings from Premier Pallister but
also announced that the provincial government has
heard the concerns about Bills 8 and 19, which would
have resulted in public notices no longer being printed
in newspapers. Cox announced that the proposed bills
will not move forward and that “everything will remain
as it was.” The room erupted in a thunderous applause
on behalf of all Manitobans!
Singing in the Rain…
It’s drama week at the Bend Theatre as the Strath-
clair Drama Club presents its 36th annual production
to another enthusiastic crowd coming from near and
far. This year’s show, Singin’ In The Rain, ran nightly
from Monday through to the big finale tomorrow
night, Saturday, April 21st. Hats off to all involved in
this year’s production on another successful run!
A little recognition…
The 99th annual Better Newspaper Competi-
tion Awards Banquet was held this past weekend at
The Delta in Winnipeg. The Minnedosa Tribune came
home with second place recognition in the Best Arts

Canadians Might Be Okay With Carbon Tax
– Until They See The Price
By AARON WUDRICK
Canadian Taxpayers Federation
C anada’s Ecofiscal Commission released a re-
port on carbon pricing recently along with survey
results from polling firm Abacus Data gauging Canadi-
ans’ support for fighting climate change.
The results were not earth shattering. Most Ca-
nadians believe climate change is real and caused by
human activity. Most think governments should take
“action” to combat it. And most of them don’t know
much about carbon prices.
The last point might be the most surprising find-
ing. The survey notes that less than half of Canadians
are familiar with the concept of carbon taxes, and that
this figure hasn’t really changed much in three years.
This means the debate is, according to the Ecofiscal
Commission, still largely an “elite-level discussion.”
Perhaps more worrying for supporters of carbon
taxes is that more Canadians ranked many other is-
sues, including health care, government spending,
jobs, cost of living and tax cuts as higher priorities.
Ironically, for a report and survey that show many
Canadians don’t seem to know about or understand
carbon pricing, at no point in the 142-page survey do
they ask Canadians about any specific prices. If you
want to know how people feel about prices, give them
a price to consider. After all, if someone offers you a
new car, your decision would be different if the price is
free, versus $40,000.
Asking Canadians something as simple as “would
you be willing to pay $10 more for a tank of gas?” or
“would you be willing to have the cost of groceries rise
by 30 per cent?” would go a long way to illuminating
what kind of “action” Canadians want governments to
take.
Of course, carbon-tax proponents deliberately
avoid doing this for the same reason they prefer to
use the term “carbon pricing” instead of calling it by
a far more understandable term: a carbon tax. When
you frame it this way, it’s actually very simple to ex-
plain: Carbon taxes try to reduce carbon emissions by
making things more expensive. They rely on the law of
supply and demand. The more expensive something
is, in theory, the less people will buy of it. Higher gas
prices mean people can afford to buy less gas, so they
will want to drive less. The effectiveness will vary,
since some people, especially in cities, can more eas-
ily switch to alternatives like public transit, biking or

walking, whereas people in rural areas don’t have
those options. But the point is that carbon taxes are a
deliberate attempt to force lifestyle changes through
cost increases.
This is a unique feature for a tax. Most taxes are
primarily designed to raise revenue for government.
But carbon taxes are different. Making things more
expensive to change people’s behaviour is not a side
effect. It is the main purpose.
From a political standpoint, telling people this is
problematic. Indeed, the Abacus survey shows fully
75 per cent of people believe any plan to reduce emis-
sions must not “drive up the cost of living too much.”
So, people support “action” – so long as it doesn’t cost
too much.
This is a major headache for carbon tax advocates,
since the smaller the tax, the lower the potential emis-
sions reduction. This is why they want to talk about
“pricing” but not actual prices. It’s also why leading
carbon tax proponents such as Environment Minister
Catherine McKenna have been stymied by the most
basic questions about the impact of carbon taxes, and
instead fall back on meaningless bromides like “the
economy and the environment go hand in hand.”
Even when carbon-taxers do mention real prices
— such as the Trudeau government’s incoming $10
per tonne tax, rising to $50 per tonne by 2022 - they
fail to mention that this is nowhere near the $300 per
tonne that Environment Canada said would ultimately
be needed for Canada to hit its own emissions targets.
This is not an honest way to sell people on climate
change policy.
Abacus’ Bruce Anderson notes that most Canadi-
ans tend to “embrace the centre” and seek “consensus
and compromise.” But that’s precisely the problem
with carbon taxes: smaller ones will satisfy no one be-
cause they are not big enough to change behaviour. If
anything, they will anger both supporters and oppo-
nents of carbon taxes, the former for failing to raise
them high enough to actually reduce emissions, and
the latter for proving right fears that they’re just anoth-
er tax hike.
Carbon-tax advocates need to go big or go home.
They can either admit to Canadians that slashing car-
bon emissions will be expensive, difficult and painful,
and all the sacrifice could well be for nothing if other
countries aren’t doing the same. Or they should just
admit this is nothing more than a plan for filling up
government coffers.

MLA Nesbitt Recognizes

Community Newspaper Day
Ye O l d
Study shows 79 percent of Manitobans read a community newspaper
SUBMITTED

G reg Nesbitt, the Progressive Conservative MLA

for Riding Mountain, marked Community News-
paper Day in Manitoba by delivering a member’s
statement in the Manitoba Legislature on Tuesday,
April 17th.
“Madam Speaker, today, April 17th is Community
Newspaper Day in Manitoba.
In the spring of 2005, the former MLA for Morris,
Mavis Taillieau, received unanimous support of all
members of this House for her resolution to acknowl-
edge the important role community newspapers play
in our province.
Fast forward 13 years and Manitoba’s 49 commu-
nity newspapers continue to document the history of
communities they serve. Each week nearly 400,000
copies are delivered throughout the province.
In a world where it can be hard to determine if
news is real or fake, community newspapers continue
to be a trusted source of information, documenting
the activities of Manitobans weekly through words
and pictures. Community newspapers are living his-
tory books, recording all facets of the lives of commu-
nity residents from the time they are born, as well as
providing news that is relevant to them.
Contrary to the narrative we hear so often, Mani-
tobans read community newspapers. In fact, more
people are turning to community newspapers than
ever. A recent readership study done by Ad Media

Canada shows that over 79 percent of Manitobans

New Business Offers Local Courier Service
By Hillary Miller
E ileen Robinson, a resi-
dent of Clanwilliam,
has teamed up with her
husband Rick and son to
start up a same-day deliv-
ery service in Minnedosa.
Bison Valley Express will
now be available to courier
whatever someone needs
delivered or picked up.
The premise is simple:
if you need something de-
livered or picked up, they
will do it for you. While the
business itself is set up in
Minnedosa, Robinson said
they are more than happy
to travel to Brandon and
beyond as required.
Robinson and her son
ran a successful courier
business in Winnipeg for
many years, it has been her
life’s work. However, hav-
ing reached retirement,
she is looking to help her
son start the business in
a smaller community like
Minnedosa. Once the busi-
ness takes off, Robinson
may take on a smaller role,
other than being a driver,
and her son will move to
Minnedosa to take over.
Robinson and her son saw
an opening in the market
for such a service and hope
they will fill it successfully.
She mentioned that while
there are other couriers in
the area who offer next day
delivery, there is nothing
in Minnedosa providing
same-day service.
In the past, Robinson
has accrued quite the cli-
ent list. Her clients in-
cluded lawyers, realtors,
bankers, and accountants
from the business sector,
and a long list of farmers.
She hopes to continue this
in Minnedosa, helping as
many businesses and peo-
ple as possible.
Bison Valley Express
will drive to Brandon to
pick up vehicle or farm
equipment parts as need-
ed, they can work with the
veterinary office to bring
samples to the lab in Bran-
don, or, they can pick up
alcohol from the Liquor
Store for those who are un-
able to drive, making the

community a safer one.
This could be especially
handy with the summer
months coming up, and
the potential for people
sitting around a campfire
with no way of replenish-
ing supplies. The service
will also include mak-
ing trips into Brandon on
weekends, when perhaps
local businesses might be
closed. In short, they will
be a ‘gopher’ service for
the area and pick up or de-
liver anything that is need-
ed by the client.
Their pricing for each
trip will depend on the lo-
cation they are headed to.

and while I don’t like to be
too critical, I have always
thought this celebration
came too early in the year.
After all, in mid-April,
most wildlife are praying
that they are still going to
make it through the prairie
winter.
I now know, however,
why this date was chosen -
the Canadian government
selected this particular
time of year in honour of
the birthday of Jack Miner.
As a reminder to read-
ers, Jack Miner was a major
force in nature conserva-
tion in Canada from the
early 1900s to his death in
1944. Around Leamington,
he is well known as one of
several prominent propo-
nents for the creation of
Point Pelee National Park
in 1918, but beyond these
borders he is known also
as the main driver behind
the preservation of Canada
geese in North America.

He is also credited
with being the first per-
son to band birds. When
I re-watched his story, I
was intrigued to find that
he started banding ducks
and geese to prove that
the waterfowl returning to
his sanctuary each spring
were indeed the same
birds. Then, in a fit of re-
ligious fervour, he started
writing Biblical verses on
the bands, with the hope
that the birds would act as
avian disciples, spreading
the Good Word through-
out North America.
Jack Miner spent most
of his life in Kingsville,
Ontario, where he de-
veloped a world-famous
sanctuary for Canada
geese in the early 1900s.
It seems strange to us, no
doubt, given today’s ap-
parent over-population of
Canada geese, but at one
time these geese popula-
tions were threatened by
excessive hunting, mainly
by market hunters who
supplied restaurants and
private households with
millions of pounds of duck

and goose meat each year.
Me and Jack Miner go
back a long way. First of
all, he was born 100 years
before me. Secondly, the
National Film Board cre-
ated a short film of his life,
and I remember seeing it
as a lad.
Then, at about the
same time, one of my fa-
vorite memories as a youth
was the discovery of a fam-
ily of Canada geese suc-
cessfully nesting on an iso-
lated slough on our farm.
This was a landmark dis-
covery for me, as prior to
this I had only seen distant
Vs of migrating Canada
geese flying overhead each
spring and fall. It seemed
nearly miraculous that this
fabled bird would actually
choose our farm to nest!
I have now come full
circle, as Rae and I visited
the Miner bird sanctuary
over the weekend. And
while the story of Jack Min-
er is nearly forgotten, it
does serve to remind us of
a couple of notable things.
The first is that nature has
an incredible capacity to

heal itself. The second is
the impact that a single,
committed person can
have.
Nature Notes:
While folks in Mani-
toba are still dealing with
a never-ending winter of
snow and arctic-like tem-
peratures, the spring pre-
scribed fire program has
come and gone here in
Point Pelee. In fact, all of
our fires were completed
by the end of March, dur-
ing a short window of dry
weather.
Not that I’m talking
big hectares here when
I’m discussing the Park’s
fire program. A crew of 12
were able to burn about 2
hectares over 4 days (that’s
slightly more than an acre
a day), with each day’s fire
taking three or four hours
to complete.
That’s nothing com-
pared to the bigger pre-
scribed fires in Riding
Mountain but given that
the land portion of the Park
is only 5 km2 (the rest of the
Park is made of marsh),
