Southern Manitoba was pummelled by a powerful blizzard early this week, with high winds, rain, and snow beginning Monday. Road closures and zero-visibility driving conditions throughout much of the province had many travellers stranded on highways. As of press time, town and municipal crews continue to dig out from the snow. Above: a semi ﬁnds itself buried in the ditch on #2 highway near Carroll.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

What will the Liberal Carbon Tax cost Souris Taxpayers? Dear editor, Regardless of whether you think Canada needs a carbon tax, the Liberals owe Souris taxpayers the cold hard truth about what it will cost. No taxation without information. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a revolutionary idea: if the government wants to introduce a new tax they have an obligation to tell you what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to do to your wallet and our economy. One would think that Prime Minister Trudeau would want to share information regarding his carbon tax plan as not only is this a significant change in policy; it is their flagship environmental initiative. However, after many attempts to get the financial analysis, the Liberals have repeatedly refused to release the information. It begs the question, what are they hiding? Now since the Liberals unilaterally announced a carbon tax on the provinces, a lot of folks have stopped me in the street or at the grocery store to raise their concerns about what the Liberal carbon tax will cost them. Even the most devout Liberal partisans believe they should release the information.

I remember one specific conversation with a young couple that live outside of Brandon but drive into the city every day to work, shop and run errands. They drive hundreds of kilometres every week out of necessity and take every possible measure to keep their fuel bill manageable. Once their income is taxed, groceries are purchased, and they pay their bills, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a whole lot left. They would like the Liberals to be forthright with them and spell out exactly how much more money will be taken out of their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. This is not an atypical story, in fact many families in Souris live pay check to pay check and can relate with this young couple. Another constituent, who happens to be living on a fixed income and is on CPP disability, called the other day and wanted an explicit breakdown of how much more money this carbon tax will cost her. I wish I had a better answer than saying, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know as the Liberals wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell us. I could only refer to a few reports that have provided estimates on what a $50-a-tonne on carbon will cost.

As a Member of Parliament who represents thousands of taxpayers with similar concerns, I believe we need to seek out the truth. Our Conservative Caucus have obtained a heavily redacted Finance Canada document, which warns of a cascading effect on prices that consumers, families, and businesses will pay as a result of this new carbon tax. Those documents reference data tables in which those costs

are laid out for families, broken down by income quintile: the very poor, the poor, the middle class, the upper middle class, and the very rich. We believe this information, without anything being blacked out, should be shown to Parliament and be released to the public. What we do know is that a Statistics Canada official recently testified at a House of Commons committee and stated that any increases in

fuel, food, and other basic necessities increased the number of people living below the poverty line. Even carbon tax supporters readily admit that the tax will raise the price of gasoline by 11 cents a litre, electricity by another 10%, and natural gas by over 15%. And according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, it will cost $1,028 per person, or $4,100 per family of four. I think we can all agree that the Liberalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s should

be open and transparent about the true costs of this new tax. We know they have estimated costs of this carbon tax and we all deserve to see the information. They should table their financial analysis on the impact of their carbon tax on Souris taxpayers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the least they can do before taxpayers have to fork over even more of their hardearned money. Larry Maguire, MP for Brandon-Souris

Souris Pee Wee Girls win Provincials

Page 5, Souris Plaindealer, Souris, MB, March 10, 2017

submitted by Glen Tosh This past weekend the Souris Pee Wee Girls had the honour of hosting the Manitoba Provincial A Championships at the Murray Arena in Souris. It turned out to be a pretty special weekend as at the end of the weekend the Souris Elks had the gold medals placed around their necks. Ten teams started the weekend vying for the gold medal. Each team played two round robin games and then they were seeded 1 through 10 after the results of those games. Game 1 for the local girls saw them face the Hamiota Huskies, defeating them by a score of 10-1. Then after a very impressive opening ceremonies capped off by Elk defensemen Jaeda Clayton singing our National Anthem, the Elks defeated Morden by a score of 3-1. After round robin was complete, the Elks received the first seed, which gave them a bye to Sunday mornings semifinals. Their semi-final opponent was league nemesis, the Foxwarren Falcons, and the Elks were primed

and ready for this game as they came out on top with a 9-1 victory. The other semi-final saw the Westman (Glenboro/Carberry) Falcons defeat a team from St. Anne 2-0. This set the stage for an

all westman final in front of a crowd estimated to be approximately 250-300 people. The Elks got two early goals and then held off the Falcons for a 3-0 gold medal victory. This capped off an impressive

season for the Elks as they finished with a record of 35 wins, 0 losses and 2 ties against Single A female competition and an overall record of 37 wins, 6 losses and 2 ties. Three Elks were named

to the Tournament All-star team as Louise Fergusson was named an Allstar defensemen and line mates Brynn Tosh and Aly Samels were named All-star forwards. Other All-star team members

included Grace Glover and Mckenna Beard from the Westman Falcons as All-star goal tender and defensemen respectively and the third All-star forward was Janique Labossiere from St. Anne.

The Souris School varsity girls basketball team hosted a Provincial Qualifier at the school on Saturday. Seven teams (3 girls, 4 boys) from around the province travelled to Souris to try to advance to the

Provincial Championships. Souris girls opponent was the Warren Wildcats, with the winner of the game getting a berth to Boissevain with a guaranteed top 4 seed at the championships. The game started a little

slow as both teams played great defense. Aly Kowalchuk got the team rolling as she nailed a couple of three pointers to open up a 9 point lead at the half. In the third quarter, the girls

were a bit sloppy at both ends of the court, however, the team quickly regained control behind the terrific defense and rebounding of Parker Janz and Katie Goldrich-Mcfaul and the

timely shooting of Tanja Gohl. The girls would carry that momentum all the way to a 63-42 victory, securing their spot at the AA Provincials, March 16-18. Tanja led all scorers in the

game with 24 points, while Aly added 20 of her own to go along with 6 steals. Katie finished with 6 points and 8 rebounds, while Parker added 4 points and a game high 14 rebounds.

Totally random question but I’ve had this conversation with people before. Obviously Powerade and Gatorade are not really that great for you, however, they are huge sponsors for lots of professional sports. When the athletes are drinking out of those Gatorade bottles are they likely drinking higher quality drink and not really the sponsored brand?” That’s a great totally random question! Those green Gatorade bottles can be seen at almost every sporting event and there is no way for us to know what is in them without asking the athletes directly. There was a time that Gatorade/Powerade were

Bobcats who blazed a trail: Tim Morrison Page 8, Souris Plaindealer, Souris, MB, March 10, 2017

by Tyler Crayston The inspiring hockey journey of Tim Morrison is proof that big things come from humble beginnings. Morrison was born and raised in Hartney, MB after his family moved from Gainsborough, SK. He is the youngest of six siblings and his road to success started in small town rinks on the Prairies. The motivation to succeed was not hard to find for Morrison. His brother Lew laced up his blades in 564 games in the National Hockey League. For Tim, he blazed his trail to greatness at Brandon University. He arrived on campus in 1977 and left a legendary mark on the men’s hockey program after completing his career in 1982. “When I got to BU I was very young, as I had just graduated high school. You are still maturing and growing up. It was a great

place to do that and make friends and connections and at the same time get an education and move on to a career. It was one of the most rewarding times of my life,” said Morrison. Morrison was a member of arguably the most decorated Bobcat hockey team ever. In 1980-1981, they achieved a No. 1 ranking in Canada for the only time in program history. The BU men’s team went 23 and 1 during the regular season, won the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) and earned a berth at the University Cup. Their storybook run came to an end after going winless at the national tournament. “We had a really good combination of different types of players. We had a good bond between players and a good combination of talent and grit. We went on a pretty good roll

that year and unfortunately the biggest tournament of our year did not turn out very well,” he said. Morrison’s final season on campus was a memorable one as he earned AllCanadian honours and was named BU’s Male Athlete of the Year. He finished the season with 16 goals and a team-leading 53 points. “I had some great linemates in Clint Haight and John Tweedle. A lot of the time it is the guys you play with that help you attain goals. We had good chemistry on our line and had a lot of success,” he added. After graduation, Morrison spent two-and-half seasons in the Professional Division 2 ranks in Germany where he played alongside former teammates Kit Harrison and Gary Kaluzniak. In 1985, he returned home to western Manitoba to start his distinguished
