 Have governments
reduced their citizens to Doublethinkers?- Wednesday
February 18, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The frightening reality is that Orwellian
thought, so much a part of the 1930s, that George Orwell dramatised in his novel
1984, seems like the environment of today. War is peace, freedom is slavery and as
this story points out the power of "doublethink" is becoming common place.

 They just didn't
nab him!- Friday
February 20, 2004
by: Edwin Wallace
Success : How soon we all forget. The years that
followed Grant Devine's defeat were years where the main Saskatchewan news stories
dealt with the latest criminal investigation of yet another member of the Devine
government. The kingpin of those cases was that of Deputy Premier Eric Bernsten.
Though Grant Devine was never officially implicated, as with the scandal in Quebec
of the Liberal's making, also begs the question, as to how could such things be going
on and the boss not knowing about it?

February 20, 2004
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls : The Conservative Party's Interim Committee
chairperson Don Plett says that the committee wants to keep the party "pure".
Seems like the Reform/Alliance/Conservatives have held to their principles all along.
Stephen Harper was a declared Alberta Separatist who is seeking the
leadership of the party, Grant Devine is one of Canadians politicians who fought
and stood for Canadian Unity.

a reductionist economic policy for a reductionist thinker- Friday
February 20, 2004

that if we listen to what the US president and his government say it not only doesn't
add up it doesn't make any sense either.
