<div class="feed-description"><p><strong>By Ken Waddell</strong></p> <p><strong>Neepawa Banner &amp; Press</strong></p> <p>Twice a year, we can be assured that food and nutrition shortages are raising their ugly head in communities across 水果视频. Each Christmas season, we are reminded of an ever increasing need for food and money donations to the local food banks and hamper programs. Now that schools are back in session, we are reminded of an increasing number of students who go to school hungry. To both these situations, I say let鈥檚 wholeheartedly support them and make sure no one goes hungry. It鈥檚 just the right thing to do.</p> </div>

<div class="feed-description"><p><strong>By Ken Waddell</strong></p> <p><strong>Neepawa Banner &amp; Press</strong></p> <p>Canada has been dragged through yet another threatened railway strike. As usual, the unions picked grain harvesting season to pull the pin. With millions of tonnes of grain needing to be taken to storage and to export to terminals and to processing plants, the railway unions have always known that August is strike month. The postal workers always aim for Christmas for their regularly scheduled strikes and other unions are tuned to hit the most sensitive times for strikes.</p> </div>
