October 5, 2003

 Swift Current
Civic Election and the Casino- Sunday
October 5, 2003
by: Edwin Wallace
Swift Current: The spread of First Nation run casinos
in Saskatchewan has been the promised magic pill to solve economic woes as one city
or community after another things they are going to become the next great Las Vegas.
This "iffy" question is before the folks in Swift Current and it is interesting
to hear what Edwin Wallace has to say about it as he feels the business community
has lined as cheerleaders to back a questionable and definitely not proven idea.

 Isabel- Monday
October 6, 2003
Somewhere in the Atlantic: Every so often a picture gets sent from friend to friend
so that after a short while there is no way of knowing were it came from. Ken Styan
got this image and passed it along and even though we have no way of crediting the
photographer it seems appropriate that you have a chance to see this remarkable scene.

experience: social tension, controlled privatization and sustained
economic growth- Tuesday
October 7, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: We are so often told that there is only one
way to success and that's the American way. This story and the referenced material
it relies upon suggests that quite the contrary is true. There are many ways for
a country huge or tiny to find success in its own way unique to its culture and traditions.

 American Trade Deficit and Jobs Losses:
Econometric correlation to the undervalued Chinese currency 'yuan/renminbi'- Wednesday
October 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin / The Great Wall near Bejing: Economists and
political commentary on television love to use number to support their arguments
and points of view. Ultimately, this practice is truly misleading and ignores so
many contribution factors which, had they been considered, would have lead to quite
different conclusions. The United States is in financial trouble and blames
China for its woes when it is the cause of its own problems. This story explains
the missing parts that CNN's Lou Dobbs should have been able to explain, but
could not. As always, Mr. deSantis has provided you with some amazing references
that deal with this issue and what it means for the world economy.

“liberally” but now “wholly” (too bad) from Canadian Taxpayers Federation Municipal
Roadway Trust- Thursday
October 9, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: The new deal that future prime minister Paul Martin is talking about is a
diluted adaptation of the Canadian Taxpayer Federation's propose set forth many years

road improvements and have used that money for general revenue.

weapon of undervalued Yuan- Friday

that is hurting its self abused trade deficit world position. This story gives you
the facts and the sources that will allow you to much more fully understand the economic
basis for this problem.
