Wednesday

by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale:The fifteen housing start of 2010 is looking like it only needs the final finishing touches. With two more months left in the year it will be interesting to see if any new winter project will be launched.

Victoria, British Columbia:The American military "show trial" is over and Omar Khadr who has spent already one third of his life in jail, was sentenced to 40 years but a plea bargain shortened that to eight years. For the eight years he has been in custody the government has been silent and uninvolved.

Remembering the future
Wednesday
November 10, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale:Each November we wear poppies on the left lapel of our jackets and the news media tells war stories and talks a lot about ultimate sacrifices. But Remembrance Day gets caught up in the attempt by everyone who thinks about it as we try to find a way to celebrate a part of life that really and truly is more about regret and incredible waste of lives. At the same time, we force ourselves to try to get a glimpse into the mindset of those who serve.
Winter has settled in
Tuesday
November 16, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale:it has been -7ºC for all of today and off and on there has been just a light dusting of snow. Interesting but the robot of Environment Canada's station in Nipawin did not notice the snow, but it was about an inch and a half during the day. This is winter, with snow and ice everywhere.
Technological overload and the iPad
Thursday
November 18, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale:Regular readers of this web site will have noticed that in the last two month we have reduced the number of weekly posts to two or sometimes only one a week. Two factors have contributed to this situation. The first is the editor's insatiable appetite for world news and the second is the remarkable tool for exploration of the world's media, the Apple iPad. There just isn't enough time to read it all and still get an Ensign issue posted.
1960 Chevrolet Impala
Friday
November 19, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale:Looking at this fifty year old car reminds us how conservative automotive design has become especially when you consider that the 1960 Chevrolet was considerably toned down from the over the top 1959 version. At the time the GM cars were all much less flamboyant than the Chrysler machines with their huge vertical fins, torsion bar suspension and push button transmissions.

by: Gerald Crawford

Give them a one month time out
Wednesday
November 24, 2010
by: Eugene Parks

 
Victoria, British Columbia:North Korea's unprovoked artillary attack on a South Korean island killed two soldiers and two civilians while pushing China and United States into a confrontation over their client states. This is serious stuff and there is a definite need for some cooling off before steps toward a war are taken.
Political distaste
Tuesday
November 30, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale:This is a discussion about some unsettling trends in our Canadian society and in this story the point is made that we are slipping toward an unquestioning and unreasonable form of political reality. The introduction of a one sided news channel is a serious matter for this country and does not produce balance but rather heads us toward the abyss of one minded, one acceptable ideology for all.
