 Bush in Africa:
Compassionate Protectionism?- Monday
July 14, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
The United States President took five days to tour Africa yet after a year of promising
aid to assist in the AIDS epidemic no money has been spent. African countries spend
far more each year paying interest on debts to the IMF and World bank than they spend
on health and education.

 Is President Bush lying? The
truth is in the eye of the beholder, think for yourself- Monday
July 14, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The American President and his staff are busy defending the use of a forged document
more than a year old claiming that Iraq was trying to purchase Uranium from Niger.
In the face of such incredible information you are being asked to simply think this
one through for yourself. But to help you look into it the references with this story
lay out the confusion.

 Inch Worm- Tuesday
July 15, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
When your brain is the size of a period at the end of a sentence it is a tough problem
to remember where you have been and wonder just where you should be going.

 Canada Day at
Crooked Lake- Tuesday
July 15, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Colin Williams wrote to Ensign wondering about the images in the "Missing Middle
Class" story from Wednesday of last week. Well this is the answer as we have
some pictures of a backyard, actually a beach front, fireworks display at Crooked
Lake.

 More Tax-Payers- Tuesday
July 15, 2003
by: Richard Neuman
Richard Neuman gives us a pensive view of the way wealth and societal progress must
feed and nurture each other. He feels that in time the present political thought
will come around to a more socially aware perspective.

 Shifting the blame
for Bush's misstatement in his State of the Union address- Tuesday
July 15, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The clouds of deceit roll in as the CIA takes the blame for the Bush State of the
Union speech error but other CIA people explain that the warning of authenticity
had been given and ignored. It all sounds a little late, the US public bought the
man's "weapons of mass destruction" song and dance and the invasion took
place, people died and debts pile up.

 Advance Passenger Information / Passenger
Name Record Programme- Tuesday
July 15, 2003
by: Rebecca Gingrich
Ottawa has been forced to knuckle under to adopt an identification programme with
all the markings of a typical Police State. But when we consider the government's
record in handling data such as gun registration things do not look promising.

 Sky stories summer 2003- Wednesday
July 16, 2003
by: Timothy Shire, Judy Shire, Kevin McIntyre and Doug Freestone
This web site has always been a place to look at sky pictures so we need not appologise
for these dramatic images taken over the past week. The leading image is of last
Thursday's clouds over the Saskatchewan River in Saskatoon.

 And Bush's wars
continue as war is the ultimate cover up of Bush's lies- Wednesday
July 16, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
This story discusses the web of deceit that is an everyday and expected behaviour
of the United States President. But there is more notice in the image that accompanies
the story is a picture showing clear violations of the Geneva convention.

 The Convertible
syndrome- Thursday
July 17, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
In a country where there are years when the weather is not good enough to find a
day to put the top down the idea of a topless car is like forbidden candy or like
winning the lottery dreams.
|
 Were "consequences" meaningful?- Thursday
July 17, 2003
by: Joe Hueglin
A test for the Youth Criminal Justice Act came last week in St. Caatherines,
Ontario and things do not look promising. Joe wonders what message the judge's decision
on a drug dealer will have on the way young people regard and respect the laws and
conventions of Canadian society.

July 17, 2003

Gardens- Thursday

 Bush's Slippery
Slope: Ending with impeachment?- Thursday
July 17, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Up until now there have been complaints and accusations but the bald face lie in
the State of the Union address has changed the tone of concern as Americans are beginning
to realise that maybe something should be done about the warrior president who lacks
fiscal responsibility.

 Canadian Alliance slipping in Alberta- Thursday
July 17, 2003
by: Jason Inness
The Canadian Alliance is perhaps the least credible political party since the Rhino
party yet it is the official opposition and enjoyed considerable support in Alberta,
Saskatchewan and a few other places. Though some of us consider their stone age mentality
as benign and sometimes cute, they continue to demonstrate that advanced mathematics
involves borrowing when subtracting and fractions are for college folks.

July 18, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire

nights sky at sunset.
