Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Good Idea! As the weather warms and we spend
more time outside its time to remember the need to be careful. Sunglasses and sunscreen
for us pale Canadians is a necessity. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Bush's administration is
worse than Nixon's, say Watergate aide (PDF) Julian Coman of
the Telegraph reports that John Dean who was one of the main insiders caught
in the Nixon scandal and actually served time for his misdeeds says that Bush and
Cheney top anything he saw in the Whitehouse. |

 The search for
the truth surrounding 9-11 continues- Friday
April 2, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : This web site has expressed extreme concern
over the Government of the United States and its behaviour leading up to and after
the attack on September 11, 2001. Most of the truth is buried in attempts to blind
the voters of that country from what happened and it has taken a long time for a
commission to be established to even look into the problem. This story and its extensive
references gives you a chance to sort some of these issues out for yourself.

April 2, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

 The Empty Land- Tuesday
March 30, 2004
by : Edwin Wallace
Success : When Europeans settled Saskatchewan they homesteaded
in many areas a family on every quarter section so that the province once had a population
of 2,000,000 people but now there are less than one million so the deer, antelope
and moose are simply moving back onto the empty land where there are few preditors
and no people.
