Around
Town... By Darryl Holyk
Another successful Year…
The 2018 annual report of Westman Communica-
tions Group shows another successful year. Financially,
WCG saw its annual revenue grow by 5.9% over last year
marking the first time, revenue has surpassed the $30
million mark! The cash dividend payment totals $500,000
with a patronage allocation to its members of $2.25 mil-
lion. Local representation on the Board of Directors in-
cluded Lorne Zacharias, General Manager of Heritage
Co-op. Lorne just completed his first year of a three-year
term on the WCG board. Minnedosa’s Barrie Brooking is
returning to the WCG board as one of three acclaimed
nominees for 2019. Barrie has previously served on the
board for six years.
Generous Donors…
Saturday, November 17th was the 2018 24-Hour
Giving Challenge in Canada. This is the day in which
people are encouraged to donate to their local commu-
nity Foundation to take advantage of stretch dollars for
a larger donation. In Manitoba, The Winnipeg Founda-
tion and Manitoba Government stretched every $5.00
donation by $1.00 each meaning every $5.00 actually
became $7.00. Locally, the Minnedosa Foundation re-
ceived $6,059 in donations before the stretch funding was
added. Across the province, 2,084 donations were made
totalling $865,879.56. These donations were stretched by
$150,787.04 which means the grand total raised that day
was $1,016,666.61.
Festive promotions….
Christmas kicked off in Minnedosa earlier this week
when our local Home Hardware hosted a sold-out Ladies
Night event. Watch for coverage in next week’s Tribune.
The festive promotions continue throughout this week-
end starting with tonight’s parade. The downtown Christ-
mas music should be rining from the clock tower today to
add to the festive magic of downtown. Be sure to take part
in the many attractions planned by local volunteers and
remember to patronize our local businesses and thank
them for being part of our community.

Will Governments Ever Learn Their
Lesson on Corporate Welfare?
By AAron Wudrick
canadian Taxpayers Federation
T here’s an old saying about the definition of insan-
ity: doing the same thing over and over while ex-
pecting a different result. Never has this been more
true than governments in Canada when it comes wast-
ing your money on corporate welfare.
Recently, General Motors announced, out of the
blue, that it will be mothballing its plant in Oshawa,
ON, and eliminating 2,800 jobs in one fell swoop. It’s a
bitter pill to swallow for thousands of GM workers and
their families who had no clue whatsoever that such
devastating news was coming. They’re furious and so
are Canadians from coast to coast.
After all, this was the same company which, to-
gether with Chrysler, begged for a bailout in 2008 at
a cost of more than $13 billion taken from taxpayers’
pockets. Then-industry minister Tony Clement ar-
gued such a massive bailout was needed in order to
“achieve a viable industry.”
And, like kids carrying away their trick-or-treating
loot and promising not to eat it too fast, GM pocketed
the cash and solemnly committed “to do what it takes
to get the job done so we can proceed with new invest-
ments and new production launches in Canada.”
Fast forward to today, and with all of the dust set-
tled, Canadian taxpayers lost $2.8 billion on General
Motors, even after some of the loans were repaid and
shares sold.
It turns out the billions that taxpayers forked over
to the corporate behemoth in the name of “stability”
was really just a dressed-up protection racket that
ended with GM skipping town anyway.
Ah well, live and learn, right? Governments made
a multi-billion dollar blunder by giving GM a bailout
only to see it shower its employees with pink slips a
few years later. But, surely, no government could be
dumb enough to do something like that again.
Just one day after GM’s nasty bombshell, both the
federal and Ontario governments showed they haven’t

The Minnedosa Tribune
learned a thing about the folly of taxpayer handouts to
big business.
Maple Leaf Foods announced a new $660 million
chicken processing plant to be built in London.
At the same time, the company announced it
would be closing three other plants elsewhere in On-
tario which employ even more people than the future
London plant. The end result: 300 fewer jobs.
Normally, when a company sheds 300 jobs, politi-
cians are the first to protest. But in this case the Ontario
and federal governments actually rewarded the highly
profitable company, owned by one of Canada’s richest
families, with a $62 million taxpayer handout.
Enough is enough. When governments pick fa-
vourite companies to get free handouts, they are pun-
ishing the rest of us who are paying the bill with ever-
increasing taxes and ever-increasing deficits. And in a
country with a diverse economy such as Canada, giv-
ing subsidies to certain industries and companies, but
not others, inevitably fuels toxic regional resentments.
Instead of lurching from handout to handout,
begging and bribing companies with subsidies, our
governments need to take a smarter and sustainable
approach to job creation.
They can start by doing away with handouts and
use that money to cut tax rates across the board – so
there’s no more playing favourites. And they can work
harder to streamline regulation so that businesses
don’t get bogged down in a tangle of red tape.
They should aim to create a business environment
that’s so attractive that we’re not constantly held hos-
tage by individual companies threatening to pick up
and leave, because they won’t want to – and because
we will actually have confidence that many other busi-
nesses are interested in setting up shop here too.
Canadians are becoming increasingly fed up with
seeing their hard-earned tax dollars funnelled into the
pockets of well-connected corporate executives.
Our governments would be wise to put a stop to it
pronto, or they may soon be feeling Canadians’ wrath
at the ballot box.

Take the 21-Day Challenge Safe Driving Week

SUBMITTED

D riving is a task that

requires complete
attention to the road. In-
clement weather, unex-
pected actions from fellow
drivers and challenging
situations can all arise at
a moment’s notice, mak-
ing it crucial for Canadians
to keep their eyes on the
road at all times. Unfortu-
nately, however, distracted
driving continues to be a
significant issue on roads
across Canada.
“It is a hard habit to
break,” said Ottawa Police
Constable Philip Kane,
“but they say that it takes
21 days to break a bad hab-
it .”
Why not make today
day one? To mark this
year’s National Safe Driv-
ing Week, the Canada
Safety Council and TELUS
invite you to take the 21-
day challenge and make
a concerted effort to leave
the phone alone while
driving.
According to the Royal
Canadian Mounted Po-
lice, distracted driving

nually in North America.
And while public opinion
seems to be that distracted
driving is unacceptable, it
still creeps into a driver’s
day-to-day habits.
Kane sees the impact
of distraction on a daily ba-
sis. And according to him,
the impact reaches far be-
yond any potential finan-
cial punishment.
“We’re seeing far too
many collisions where
lives are lost because of
that text or that Facebook
post or checking Twitter,”
said Kane. “It’s not neces-
sarily the fine itself – you
could be leaving someone
you love, and they’ve got to
pick up the pieces.”
The solution, of
course, is fairly simple:
don’t use your phone while
driving! But as we all know,
it’s never as simple as that.
The phone buzzes in your
pocket and you’re innately
curious – after all, it’s hu-
man nature. But Kane of-
fers a quick and easy solu-
tion to this dilemma.
“Keep your phone on
silent,” he said. “Put it in
your purse or in your pock-
et. It’s where I keep mine
so I’m not tempted to an-
swer it.”
The lack of a tactile or
visual cues makes it much
easier to ignore an incom-
ing message, but that’s
only half the solution.
Nimtaz Kanji, Director of
TELUS Wise, a free digital
safety education program,
adds, “let people in your
life know that if you’re
driving, you won’t answer
messages. Let them know
you want to get home safe-

but to everyone else on the

Kane.

Local Rotary Exchange Program Nearing 40 Years
By KAREN MITCHELL
T hirty-eight years ago,
the first youth ex-
change trip was organized
by the Minnedosa Rotary
Club and ever since then
Minnedosa host fami-
lies have seen wonderful
young students come and
go. Students between the
ages of 15 to 19 can par-
ticipate in the exchange
program if accepted. “Stu-
dents need to have decent
academic performance
and social skills,” said
Carla Collen, Rotary Youth
Councillor,  “Personally, I
like to see a well-rounded
individual, which to me is
as important as grades.”
Some of the countries stu-
dents have travelled from
include; India, Taiwan, Ja-
pan, France, Switzerland,
Germany, Czech Republic,
Italy, Belgium, Finland,
Norway, Sweden, Mexico,
Brazil and Columbia.
There have been years
in the past that did not see
students come or go, de-
pending on host families,
students, etc. Normally if
a student is sent out from
the Minnedosa Rotary
Youth Exchange Program
then a student also comes
to Minnedosa as well. This

year, with a last minute
back-out, there was no
outbound student to head
abroad. However, a lovely
young woman at the age
of 18 is calling Minnedo-
sa home for the 2018/19
school year.
Juliana Vannucci Ti-
birica, from Brazil, un-
packed her bags at David
and Shannon Alexander’s
home on August 24th.
The Alexanders, along
with daughters, Emily and
Jordin, are Juliana’s first
Minnedosa host family.
Within the school year Ju-
liana will be hosted by
three separate families be-
fore returning home in July
2019. She will stay with the
Alexanders until Decem-
ber 11th. The second host
family will be Brad and
Sue Ross and her third host
family will be Andy and
Stacie Cardy.
Juliana graduated
from Grade 12 in Brazil
this past June and is cur-
rently enrolled in Grade
12 at Minnedosa Colle-
giate, set to graduate here
in June 2019. “This is defi-
nitely a unique opportu-
nity,” explained Juliana.
“Some people think that
you would lose a year and
waste your time, but I don’t

think like that. I feel like I
will gain so much experi-
ence. I have always wanted
to travel abroad, ever since
I was around 11-years-old
I knew I wanted to go away
to study and meet new
people, experience the
culture and see how things
work elsewhere.”
Juliana joined the
Brazil Rotary Club in 2017
because she had a friend
who had participated in
the exchange program and
told Juliana all about it.
“He came to Canada two
years ago and ever since
he came home that’s all
he would talk about,” said
Juliana. Immediately in-
terested, Juliana knew this

from the time she could

has found it a good way to
meet new people.
In October, along
with other exchange stu-
dents, Juliana travelled
to Churchill for a week.
“That’s the first time I
have experienced real

but in Churchill it was re-

will also mark her first ever
white Christmas. “In Bra-
zil we don’t do a lot as it’s
always so hot. Most of the
same things still happen
though, we eat and ex-
change presents. But I am
looking forward to a white
Christmas this year.”
“I think that this is

one of the best experi-
ences a young adult could
partake in,” said Carla
Collen. “They are some of
the bravest young people
I’ve ever had the pleasure
of meeting. I’m not sure
how many adults would
be brave enough to go live
in a foreign country where
they know no one when
they arrive.   They all grow
as global citizens and I am
so proud of them all!   As
for Julianna, she is a fan-
tastic young woman.   She
has taken this year on with
an open attitude and has
charmed us all.   I always
know we have a good stu-
dent when people in our
community ask about
them and if they can host
them. I feel very lucky to
have been a part of this
program.” 
The position of Rotary
Youth Councillor will be
vacant next year, therefore
there will be no exchange
program for at least one
year. The Minnedosa Ro-
tary Club is always wel-
coming new members. If
you think this is something
that interests you, contact
any current Rotary mem-
ber for more information.
