If Toyota did cocktail bars, their best-selling cocktail may well be called the “Tacoma Sunrise”…And you could have any beer as long as it’s a Corolla! Tacoma pick-up truck has been around since 1995 and the previous generation, launched for the 2005 model year, has consistently been the best-selling mid-size pickup truck in Canada. This is thanks to a reputation for toughness, reliability and extremely low depreciation. It’s impressive that in its 11th model year (2015), the previous generation Tacoma was still a best-seller, even outselling its larger and more modern big brother, the Tundra. However, the mid-size truck market has seen a bit of a revival in the last couple of years, with the introduction of the popular, all-new Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon and rumours of new contenders from Ford and Nissan.

It’s time to call a spade a spade. We need to shift our thinking in how we fund and administer government services across Manitoba. The bottom line is that towns, villages and RMs have to find their sweet spot and work with that. Not every town is going to have every service, that has become painfully obvious in the past 50 years. Rural Manitoba towns have suffered horrendous declines in population and services in that time frame.
