 A deeper Free
Market in Canada: Charest fights for his privatisation of Quebec- Sunday
December 14, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It appears as though the government of Quebec
like that of British Columbia has begun a process of reducing the numbers of public
workers and reducing the earns of those still employed while moving more government
services into the private sector. The unfortunate facts are that there is no evidence
to support the economic positive affects of such action while at the same time the
public will be subjected to strikes and the kinds of problems that brought Ontario
situations like Walkerton and the inability of Toronto to deal with a medical crisis.

thing of beauty- Sunday

by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:It is almost a month since Tisdale's Town council

stands in their back yards by the alley but instead each garbage day take the cans
out to the front of their houses for curb side pickup.

 Judge Martin’s Cabinet on
the job titles and record, not on map locations- Monday
December 15, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: The very large government set forth by the new
prime minister has many wondering about costs. Knowing that the prime minister watches
the flow of money carefully he has served up a very large platter of government this
means he has two choices, either cut many existing programmes or follow the pattern
he has followed in the past creating excuses to slap on more taxes.

 The malfeasances
of Bush's Free Market: Halliburton's profits and failure to securitize
the Iraqi Army- Monday
December 15, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Something is very rotten in the state of Iraq
as Vice President Cheney who still gets $400,000 a year from his company Halliburton
each year is charging many times more than a reasonable profit for services and products
while the Iraqi Army looks to be very suspicious. Can anyone say "Vietnam?"

instead of a screwball experiement.
