Parliament has been a very busy place this week. I will be reporting to you soon on some the things I’ve been working on recently – border issues, pensions, and healthcare to name a few – but I want to take the chance this week to talk about one issue in particular; the federal government’s economic stimulus plan.

This week marks a turning point in the season. Large game hunting with rifles begins on Saturday across the eastern half of the Rainy River District and the Kenora, Dryden area. As I cut the grass and raked leaves this past weekend, I watched as many trailers headed east.
I also watched as many vehicles had their boats loaded on trailers heading to garages and yards. The lake season has ended.

It is hard to believe it has been 100 years since the Great Fire of 1910.
As a kid I heard stories about how a big fire wiped out Baudette and Spooner and the mills in Rainy River as well.
