 A demented mentality
and changing the Saskatoon Police Service: Cheers for social activist
Sheila Steele and police chief Russel Sabo- Tuesday
March 23, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The use of the term "demented" is
not to slur mental health issues but rather to describe a way of thinking that would
not be considered sane. It is very important to realise that the courts define sanity
as having an understanding of the rightness or wrongness of an act. It appears that
many decisions are made today as though there were no right or wrong and certainly
no awareness of those conditions.

 Extreme Enough
To Become Our Next Prime Minister?- Tuesday
March 23, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : The Liberal campaign will clearly identify
Stephen Harper for the self identified Alberta separatist that he is but perhaps
one should consider that when you consider the same kind of political attitude Mr.
Harper has is identified as wrong for him while Ontario, Quebec and maritimes take
the same position for themselves.

March 25, 2004
by : Mahmood Elahi
Ottawa : The political background and direction of the leader of the Conservative
party will merely import into Canada a similar situation that is seen south of the

into warring camps where no sane debate is possible."

 Bush’s ‘permanent
tax cuts’ are creating bullish bubbles: Low interest rates and budget
deficits- Friday
March 25, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : A towering catastrophy is not something built
in a short while but accummulates its instability until band aids and duct tape will
no longer hold together what is essentially an unstable structure. The United States
economy is based on the mass of its size and ignoring warnings low interest rates,
tax cuts for the wealthy and a growing massive trade deficit are compounding to produce
inherent instability that when it collapses will devastate the world economy.
