both in Geoffrey Heard's explanation and in the references for this story is the
basic conditions that are allowing the United States to muddle along deeply in debt
and still considered the world's strongest economy.

 Peter MacKay's speech on the
Alliance same-sex motion- Sunday
September, 21, 2003
by: Peter MacKay
Ottawa: This issue has been emotionalised and taken
to such extremes and it might be useful for us to read a moderate approach to the
issue that has both reason and a desire to see a peaceful resolution come about.
Peter MacKay is leader of the Progressive Conservative party and it is interesting
to note that he has for some years had a close relationship with a Halifax woman
in public but they have chosen not to marry.

 Beriev Be-103- Tuesday
September 23, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Oshkosh, Wisconsin: Though the OshKosh AirVenture is
an amateur/homebuilt convention the star of the show this year was a commercial aircraft
designed and build in Russia. This remarkable, low wing, twin engined, amphibian
is simply off the scale in innovation and outstanding engineering. For me this was
the most exceptional aircraft of the thousands to be seen at this incredible event.

 Only the Progressive
Conservatives are facing the issues- Wednesday
September 24, 2003
by: Jason Inness
Calgary: As the Progressive Conservative and Canadian
Alliance negotiate some sort of agreement Jason Inness points out that the federal
Liberal party has been pretty well absent from responding to the series of crisis
facing the country and the Alliance has been wasting time on emotional issues. He
feels only the Progressive Conservatives are dealling with things that really matter.

are getting behind the Tisdale Hospital's Diabetes fund. This afternoon the Bank
of Nova Scotia held a fine hot dog sale and Tisdale folks were there in significant
numbers to support the project.

 Exporting the
American democracy in Iraq: The Free Market of Deregulation and Privatization- Friday
September 26, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Mr. deSantis has spotted an interesting inversion
both criminals being placed in power and dogmatic imposition of economic formats
that are site specific. What works in America is not necessarily what will work in
Iraq, Afghanistan to Venezuela. The references on this story are exceptional and
give you an opportunity to explore this topicmuch more fully than an interpretive
summary.

 Washington Pursues
Dangerous Policy in Vernezuela- Friday
September 26, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
Washington: The actions of the American government attempting
to desabilise and over throw a democratically elected government is setting a bad
example and could seriously undermine the international relations around the world
including the way countries relate to the United States.

September 27, 2003

Standing Committee on government Operations and Estimates is on the job checking
and often putting down the big foot on waste and sometimes downright bad operations.
