LSH: We would like to be informed as well...

I understand that covering the election causes a very difficult task for some newspapers but I was very disappointed that winnipegfreepress.com didn’t include the results for my area St. Andrews, Ward 1 on last night’s election. Selkirk, Stonewall and West St. Paul were also excluded.

If you’re going to list the rural results, make sure it’s a full list. Considering there is no televised coverage on rural areas, it is very important to rural Manitobans that their election results are on the Internet. I was looking on the Winnipeg Free Press site for additional information on my article on the election when I stumbled across this link.Results from rural Manitoba

Take special note how neither the school trustees nor all the municipalities are included. This is an example of the budget cuts that plague the Free Press and other newspapers. It may be theat they don't cater to rural areas in their newspaper, although many of us subscribe to the Free Press and work, play and go to school in the city and therefore are connected to Winnipeg in a big way. We would like to feel a connection from Winnipeg as well.

But perhaps the most misleading part is that the name of the article is "Results from rural Manitoba." It clearly should read Selected results from rural Manitoba. I guess it's clear I should change my homepage from The Free Press to www.cbc.ca/manitoba/ Because on their site I found a link straight to http://www.amm.mb.ca/ Which listed ALL the results for rural Manitoba, like it should. Thanks CBC.
