Crocus conflict continues

THE 33,000 Manitobans who bought into the now defunct Crocus Investment Fund may be justifiably sceptical that the Manitoba Securities Commission hearing into the failings of the former directors will offer them much relief. The directors had a legal duty to ensure Manitobans had accurate and timely information on the value of the publicly traded shares, and the Manitoba Securities Commission was supposed to hold the directors to that duty.

  1. Turning water into cash

    111Boaters had limited opportunities for launching their water craft this year because of high water levels. The problem was worse than most years, but the fact is Winnipeg's rivers are about as approachable as a porcupine. There are a limited number of ramps for launching boats, and even light-weight canoes and kayaks are difficult to get to the river's edge in unserviced areas.

  2. Disarming long-gun registry

    AS the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper celebrates the passing by the House of Commons of a bill that would abolish the long-gun registry, it perhaps should water the wine just a bit. Winnipeg Free PressPRINT | 6/11/2009 1:00 AM | 10

  3. A chief is not indispensable

    THE doctrine of equality before the law means that everyone is to be treated the same, regardless of title, wealth or political power. It means that the penalty for a crime should be the same for every citizen, all things being roughly equal. Winnipeg Free PressPRINT | 6/11/2009 1:00 AM | 5

  4. Water park incentive all wet

    IT should be clear to the city by now that the private sector is not going to build a water park with a $7 million public subsidy, particularly when a decent facility would cost more than $40 million. If it is the will of council and the public that Winnipeg build a water park worthy of the name, not just another indoor swimming pool with slides, of which we have plenty in both the private and public sphere, then the city must consider more imaginative ways of getting the job done. The current approach isn't working. Winnipeg Free PressPRINT | 5/11/2009 1:00 AM | 2

  5. Mr. Selinger shuffles some cards

    PREMIER Greg Selinger's government is bigger but only moderately newer and certainly, on balance, not discernibly younger than the one Gary Doer left behind when he took a job in Washington this fall. Winnipeg Free PressONLINE | 4/11/2009 7:06 AM | 0
