 Doug Saunders of Globe and
Mail: A little bit of hypocrisy is good- Monday
June 14, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Ronald
Reagan's death has brought back memories and the experiences of his two terms in
office, Saddam Hussein's buddy as he was called in the Asia Times today. All of this
brings us back to the present and the willingness we all have and seem to continue
to accept rather large doses of hypocrisy.

 The
sacrifice of idealism- Tuesday
June 15, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Winnipeg : It
is not a pretty sight, neighbours with rival signs on their lawns, in one case a
duplex with opposite signs and mixed into the federal election is the Winnipeg campaign
for a replacement mayor.

 A graveyard for
our dreams: why I’m not voting Conservative- Tuesday
June 15, 2004

Borden : This is one of the strongest condemnations of Stephen Harper and his Alliance

in their own words what they are really all about.

 Winnipeg's
Special Place: The Forks- Wednesday
June 16, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Winnipeg : The
market-place, cultural centre, community meeting place, all of that and then some.
Winnipeg's Forks is one of the most interesting and stimulating place I know of and
almost suggests that we should take a very long look not only what it is but what
it does in terms of bringing a community together. This story has some pictures that
show the way it looks now and includes a QuickTime VR panorama (2.4MB) of the whole
overview of the scene.

 The
Great Sandhills mistake- Wednesday
June 16, 2004
by : Edwin Wallace
Success : Mr.
Wallace is a bit cranky about the recent decision by the Saskatchewan government
to increase the amount of drilling for natural gas in the Great Sandhills area of
western Saskatchewan. Environmentalists and scientists appear to agree on the ecological
mistake of this decision.

his decision.

 Why
I'm not voting Conservative- Saturday
June 19, 2004
by : Patricia Green
The real threat of a conservative victory has many Canadians and non-Canadians as
well very worried. The very fabric of the country is threatened simply because we
are grossly aware of the way things have gone in the United States with this form
of government policy and of course the last Conservative government did so much damage
that our fate as a country may already be doomed.

 Thanks,
but no thanks- Saturday
June 19, 2004
by : Susan Walsh
Mississauga, Ontario
: The Conservative Party bulled its way into existance by bribing the PC leader Peter
MacKay, paying off his campaign debts and it boldly continues to assert that the
whole take over was fair and legal. It has now issued membership cards to members
of the PC party further antagonising already bad feelings.

 Say it in an
image- Saturday
June 19, 2004
by : Antoinette Martens
Saskatoon : As long as there has been politics there have been political cartoons.
Often these works say far more than the written word as images have a different address
in one's intellect. On this site we have taken some liberty in the past with images
but always in the electronic format, these are done the traditional way.

 Bush’s America: lack of moral grounds and consequential violence- Saturday
June 19, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : It might be called stirring the pot as the President of the United States
desperately wants to hold on to his role. It is neglegent to blame he alone for the
woes of America for indeed his followers must themselves accept responsiblity for
a never ending ever escallating cycle of violence. These people seem bent on murder
and destruction and they are succeeding.

 The prime directive- Saturday
June 19, 2004
by : Kevin McIntyre
Carrot River
: The television science fiction show Star Trek, captured the imagination
and the intellectual curiousity of millions because much of the underlying principles
were worked out over the years examining just what exactly does it mean to be human.
Kevin explores one of the most fundamental principles worked out in the show and
gives us reason to consider it application in our present day world.
