In this area of public enterprises there is a pretty clear historical line from the Constitution of the Harmony Industrial Association of 1895, to the "Regina Manifesto" of 1933, to the establishment by the CCF of new Crown corporations to serve the community, to the establishment of the first official medicare program in North America in 1962. [...] One of the characteristics of the earlier social radicals, such as the Paynter brothers of Hamona Colony, E. A. Partridge, or the drafters of the "Regina Manifesto" was a sense of sweeping out the corrupt old system and bringing in the New Jerusalem of social harmony. [...] Another view is that although the technology and the economics change, population patterns change, ways of living change, the fundamental human problems and challenges for Saskatchewan in 1906 are essentially the same in 2006 and will be the same in 2106—to achieve a safe, produc- tive and just community, in which there is a healthy balance between the rights of the commu- nity and the rights of i [...] The obvious trend of recent years has been for the establishment of "big box" retail stores in suburban areas, and consequently a decline in the significance of the downtown area as the economic centre of the city. [...] Hence it is felt that the management of their own affairs by the members, the discussions and debates in the lecture and entertainment hall, the lectures by public men from time to time, and all the numerous self-directed activities of Alex MacDonald I 3 such a co-operative life, must tend to draw out all that is best in the men, and fit them for a life of great usefulness and assured success.
