by: Joe Hueglin
The gun registry legislation has come into effect six days ago and no one can find value or saftey in the massive amounts of money spent on this exceptionally silly programme. Joe Hueglin questions the damage this programme is doing to the whole of Canada's justice system as it devalues both the courts and the respect Canadians normally demonstrate for the laws of the land.

by: Mario deSantis
Many think that just cutting down on the size of government would make things better. Mario deSantis presents quite a different argument and it is illustrated by a shocking graph that shows the growth of jobs under the various American presidents in the past and not since the thirties has the American economy done as poorly as under George W. Bush.

This is an interesting take on the tax situation in Canada, instead of focusing on the way the Canadian middle class has lost much of its earning power Mr. Robinson concentrates on the upper and lower scale of the income earners in this country who now bare the burden of the economy because the once large middle class has been so greatly reduced.

July 9, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Where Tisdale's hospital once stood the park with its walking pathes, flower beds and trees is one of the best places in the whole town. Quiet and calm prevail on its lawns and park benches as you can see in today's QuickTime Virtual Reality image of the area. If you don't have QuickTime download it, it is free and easy to install, once in your computer it does its work without intrusion.

Fair warning, this is a complex story, but you will have to read it a couple of times for the message to sink in and if you do not check out the reference to the Kuwait parliament you will definitely be lost. No one ever said figuring things out was going to be easy.
Missing Middle Class

by: Timothy W. Shire
The constant complaining about taxes is simply dull and perhaps short sighted thinking being expressed by those unable to see the big picture. We don't need to reduce taxes we need more tax payers. We need income sufficient to afford the society our country is more than able to provide every citizen of this country and this story spells out a simple means to solving our problems.
