Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 If only we could capture and retain the quest for fun and
experience that is so much a part of childhood. Making bubbles is important and as
adults we don't understand that. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Rio de Janeiro state plans to wall off slums (PDF) Raymond
Colitt for the Financial Times explains that the level of violence in
a Rio de Janeiro slum was close to open warfare. Michael Astor of the Seattle
Times covered the same
story noting the positive role of the police while a Reuters story by
Andrei Khalip warned of brewing trouble back
on March 16. |

 RBC insurance
is no insurance at all- Monday
April 12, 2004
Contributor's name withheld
On February 29, 2004 we posted a story about a college student being caught by RBC's
hard sell disability insurance programme where he paid for coverage he did not want
and could not collect on. This story tells of a person who took the insurance and
his wife was diagnosed with cancer and the company said that it was a pre-existing
condition and refuses to consider claims.

 Disagree with
Police article- Friday
April 9, 2004
by : Tina LaCroix
The accusations made in the April 7, 2004 World Health Day: Road Safety is no accident
story are unfair and wrongly accuse the police of their use of lethal weapons.

 The values brought
to you by privatisation: Corrupt health care in Saskatoon and corrupt
Canadian politicians- Friday
April 9, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The real conflict of our age is an ancient
one as the struggle continues between selfishness and selflessness. The Saskatoon
Emergency room doctor who warns of the dangers in his ER get fired and politics continues
to be about power and not about the well being of people.

by: Timothy W. Shire

 Will Conservatives
Listen This Time, Or Repeat Past Mistakes?- Wednesday
April 7, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : One of the major critisisms of the former
Canadian Alliance Party was that it failed to pay attention to what the major
of Canadians were saying about government policy. Now the newly reorganised party,
the Conservative Party must look at what it did in the past and discover why
most voters east of Winnipeg simply did not agree with party platform.
