Tuesday, August 9, 2016 at 10:29AM In this time of low energy prices, we do well to remember that the general energy price trend remains, of necessity, upwards. After all, the energy we use is still overwhelmingly fossil derived, hence non-renewable, and we continue to deplete the limited supply.
Tuesday, July 26, 2016 at 8:27AM One of the arguments used over and over when the question of environmental protection comes up, is that protection of the Canadian natural environment must not impede our use of natural resources, because they are an important part of our economy.

We need to know as much as we can about the nature of our climate, the warming effects of air pollution, the acidification of the oceans, the way weather patterns will change. All of that is absolutely crucial. But climate change is not caused by scientific charts and graphs and Al Gore, and the scientific answer for what really does cause climate change is very clear and well-established. Climate change is caused by human beings burning fossil fuels, an inconvenient truth that no amount of denial can change.
Tuesday, July 12, 2016 at 10:20AM This July, Steinbach hosted its first Pride Parade, a celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Trans-sexual, Two Spirit, and Queer sexual preferences, and a call for equality in all aspects of life. More than 3000 LGBTTQ people and their allies walked from the Jake-Epp Library along a short route lined by another 1000+ supporters, to hear speakers talk to a cheering crowd outside the Civic Offices. The call ‘Love is Love’ was the theme of the event, and despite some negative press, and some intolerant language from local politicians and bureaucrats before the event took place, it was well-supported; Steinbach showed that it does have tolerant, open-hearted people living here.
