Manitoba Hydro is pressing ahead with its proposed $3-billion gas-turbine project in Brandon as though approval was a foregone conclusion.

Processing potential long way from reality

Laura Rance-Unger 5 minute read 2:02 AM CDT

There are times in life when you want to be wrong — like when you walk into the doctor’s office believing your ailment will be the death of you.

It’s the same sort of feeling I get wading through the pile of newly released reports extolling the unrealized “potential” for more value-added processing in Canadian agriculture. There’s this little voice inside my head saying: “I’m from Manitoba. Show me.”

There are jaw-dropping numbers bandied about in various reports from Food and Beverage Canada, the Canadian Chambers of Commerce/PwC and the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute. For example, more processing could add $75 billion on top of the $188 billion the sector already generates, create hundreds of thousands more jobs and a bigger domestic market for farmers. The list goes on.

Not to discount the solid analysis behind these efforts. Overall, it all sounds great, although notably missing is any mention of the growing concerns over ultra-processed foods and how that might affect future market growth.

Re: Bring Power Smart home (Think Tank, Oct. 21)

Steven Fletcher’s op-ed column overlooks important history behind Efficiency Manitoba and the need to reconsider its targets.

In December 2003, Gary Doer’s NDP government announced plans for a separate agency to co-ordinate energy efficiency, water conservation and waste reduction. Provisionally named Efficiency Manitoba in 2004, the initiative became Green Manitoba, a special operating agency launched in April 2006.

Chief medical officer quits, cites work environment ‘challenges’

Chris Kitching 6 minute read Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026

Manitoba’s provincial chief medical officer is resigning from his position at Shared Health, citing the role’s demands and work environment challenges in an email viewed by the Free Press.

Dr. José François, who’s held the executive position since April 2024, sent an email to provincial medical specialty leads that said his final day will be Jan. 17, 2027, after he submitted his resignation Wednesday. Several other senior leaders have departed the provincial health authority in recent months.

“Serving in this role has been a privilege,” François, a longtime family physician from Ste. Anne, wrote in the email.

He said his “greatest pleasure” was working alongside and supporting an “exceptional group” of provincial medical specialty leads and chief medical officers.
