 Election platforms
lacking key components- Monday
October 20, 2003
by: David MacLean

for the need for fiscal responsibility and debt retirement.

 A decade of taxpayer abuse
… from politicians and bureaucrats alike- Tuesday
October 21, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: What is most objectionable about the present
government has been its bold dishonesty about the reasons it collected taxes and
what it did with the money. This story lists the violatons of public trust and suggests
that Paul Martin is likely to follow this same trend for indeed it was he that carried
out most of the deception in the past.
|
 Wasn't this province
down that very road?- Tuesday
October 21, 2003
by:: Joyce Neufeld
Waldeck: Never ask a weatherman about the predictions
he made yesterday about today's weather. Politicians have counted on the public thinking
in terms of weather rather than consequences of bad government and Joyce Neufeld
provides us with a quick recall of the last time election promises like the ones
we are hearing this year were made and we are still paying for the tax cuts and corporate
give-aways of a decade ago.

that document the story.

by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Throughout the world the economic situation
for all developing countries has been a failure for the past twenty years, since
the prominence of the World Bank and the International Monitary Fund with one single
exception, China. This very well researched article with its references exposes the
deep set cause for so much resentment and hostility toward the world's only remaining
superpower.
