This week we have to reminisce on the beautiful weather we have had. Some of our veterans were saying how cold it sometimes was on November 11 at the cenotaph. My husband had to clear the snow in the church parking lot so we could get in to get married.

For the past several years, I have watched the Remembrance Day services from the comfort of my home. Not certain why I switched to staying home, we used to attend as a family. Whoever was 鈥榟ome鈥� with us was family, and we all bundled up and paid our respects. This year I had simply to walk a block and find a seat for one.

If all goes according to plan, by the time you read this column, I will have made the following presentation to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage in Ottawa:
We have been involved full time in newspaper publishing since 1989, when we started up The Neepawa Banner from scratch, in competition with The Neepawa Press, which had been publishing since 1896. In 2010, the Neepawa Press was sold to a major corporation. I declined to sell to that same corporation and by 2015, they sold the Neepawa Press to us. We are pleased to be able to store 120 years of history in our archives.

Every spring, three levels of government release their budgets and for the most part, Canadians respond with questions and concern. They wonder why the highway they travel is still crumbling, why their health care needs aren鈥檛 being met and why certain industries or businesses are being chosen as winners. The problem is that by then, it鈥檚 too late to start complaining about how governments are spending our money.
