WINNIPEG — A judge has thrown out a class-action lawsuit that sought damages for certain grain farmers in relation to the end of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly by the federal government.

It’s the last of extensive litigation over the dissolution of the board.

Manitoba Court of King’s Bench Justice Chris Martin, in a decision this month, dismissed farmer Edward Andrew Dennis’s 2017 civil claim against the federal attorney general and G3 Global Grain Group, the successor to the wheat board.

The wheat board was created in 1935 as a voluntary marketing program and transformed into a compulsory marketing agency in which farmers were required to sell their wheat and barley to it.

The Vincent Massey Vikings varsity football defeated the Miles Mac Buckeyes 18-6 in their final game of the regular season. With the win, the team improves to a 5-2 record and good odds of hosting a Winnipeg High School Football League playoff game on home field.

Charlie Gauthier continued to act as a double-threat quarterback, throwing for 168 yards and a single passing touchdown while picking up 64 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.

For the third straight week, Thomas Seitz caught a touchdown while also recording 76 receiving yards on three catches.

On defence, Markus Stevenson continued his strong play from last week with two sacks and a forced fumble that he recovered. O-lineman Max Lepper registered one sack and six tackles, four of which were for a loss, and linebacker Ryan Rennie had seven tackles, two of which were for a loss.
