It's a good thing there aren't any real problems in Manitoba for the NDP to talk about..

NDP To Contemplate Resolutions
JAN 24 2008 02:30 PM


Some controversial resolutions could pop up at the NDP convention in Winnipeg that's just over a week away.
There is a resolution to restrict all criminal cases to two remands to cut down on the court's backlog. One proposal would make it at offense to use your cell phone while driving. Another resolution would restrict large trucks and semis from traveling 110 kilometers per hour on highways where the speed limits are raised. The sex trade would be decriminalized by a delegation who is urging the government to set up safe zones for prostitutes.

On a lighter note, there is also a resolution, among the 200 in total, to create a new Manitoba flag by holding a public contest.

CJOB's Jeff Keele reporting.
