Weekes: The roof of the Weekes Community Centre was shingled in 1974 or 75 and has done well to last all these years but it is time for it to be replaced, so in typical Weekes fashion a scheme was hatched to pay for a big project in a really little village.

Victoria B.C.: Recognising that a carbon tax is a complex issue the government merely launched name calling attack ads to dismiss the issue. But not all Canadians are from Alberta and we deserve an intelligent and thoughtful discussion of the concept which has already been implimented in Quebec, Ontario and B.C. A serious discussion needs to take place and the attack ads need to be a little more restrained.

Tisdale: In the history of Saskatchewan the grain producers have always had to deal with the short end of the stick. Now fuel prices have risen to the point that synthetic fuels are economically viable and society suddenly realises if we use agricultural products for fuel, food prices will rise dramatically.
