鈥淓very minus is half of a plus, waiting for a stroke of vertical awareness.鈥� Alan Cohen (author of 14 popular inspirational books, contributing writer for 鈥楥hicken Soup for the Soul鈥�, columnist and seminar leader on spiritual awakening and visionary living.) There are days when I need this simple reminder, every minus is half a plus. Sometimes I need it for myself and sometimes I need to share it with others. Most of us take a set back seriously. That鈥檚 okay as long as it challenges us to think further, and not crumple in defeat.

In the past few months, I鈥檝e had a couple of people send me news articles they鈥檝e found online and ask me if I thought they were true. In each case, some investigation revealed that they were in fact completely fabricated. The whole phenomenon of 鈥渇ake news鈥� is recent and while slants and biases have probably existed since the first newspapers, today we find ourselves in uncharted waters. On the internet today, you don鈥檛 have to look hard to find 鈥渘ews鈥� that is completely made up, but packaged to make readers believe that it is real.

A number of people have asked 鈥淗ow do you do all that you do?鈥� It鈥檚 a fair question as I am now 70 years old and involved in a number of activities. The 鈥淗ow do you do it all鈥� question is a matter of perspective. Back in 1979, I, or more precisely, we, were a lot busier than we are are now. We means my wife and I and back in those days, it also involved our two, then pre-teen boys.

In nearly 60 years of observing government and business, I have seen a lot of things that just don鈥檛 seem to work out. What triggered that thought was the story this week about the sports complex at Kapyong base in Winnipeg. It has been out of use for 10 years now and yet it was deemed to be one of the best facilities in the City of Winnipeg. It has fallen into such as state of disrepair that it may never be used again. It鈥檚 sad, especially when good sports facilities are needed so badly.

We鈥檝e all heard about the mushroom treatment, 鈥淜eep them in the dark and feed them [manure].鈥� I wonder if this is the philosophy our current provincial government is following? If they get their way, 水果视频ns will have to work a lot harder to be well informed about the issues that impact their lives and communities. Two bills currently before the legislature, Bill 8, The Government Notices Modernization Act, and Bill 19, The Planning Amendment Act, will make significant changes to the process by which governments must notify the public about changes at local and provincial levels.
