Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 There weren't enough hostipals for us to be born, not enough
schools, not enough colleges, or enough jobs, now when we boomers are retiring and
everyone is concerned about pensions and medical crisis. Well get over it, it was
not our decision to be so numerous and we have done the best we can to adapt. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Merry Flippin' Christmas,
Snowing again. For those not local, on
the link look at Saskatoon, go north east just
outside the radar circle - the two blue lakes? That's 20 miles north of us. Ho Ho
Ho...... :~( Hit the play button.. |

 The Iraq war is
not right, people die in vain, and Bush is the real evil- Thursday
April 15, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The recent Bush press conference was intended
to put the president in the active leadership role as the commission investigating
9/11 hearing grip the news. What the conference did was reveal the fuzzy and perhaps
quite lost thinking of the American president while the latest offensive by Iraqi
resistence has moved to a new phase by holding cities but also taking mercenaries
as hostages.

 Gentle as a lamb- Wednesday
April 14, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Of all domestic animals, sheep have been of
constant service to humans for ages and it would be wise of us to think about their
continuing contribution.

April 13, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

on the highway as early as 8:00 this morning to fill up the vast parking lot, with
wall to wall pick ups and bargain hunters from all over the province on hand.

 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.

so loved the world he gave his only begotten son . . "- Friday

Tisdale : On Good Friday we restate the need to recall
what the day is set aside for and what this one man's life did to affect so much
change in the world since his death.

 Wet Winnipeg- Friday

by : Timothy and Cassandra Shire
Winnipeg : Though the Red River is at the top of its
banks, for the most part it is staying were it belongs. This story includes a QuickTime
VR (1.5MB).

 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.
|
|
 Taking a chance- Friday
April 9, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Its hard to be a criminal any more as government has taken over the business
and just just can't get respect.
|

 World Health Day:
Road Safety is no accident- Wednesday
April 7, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Safety check at the Tisdale Mall, radar trap
at the north end of town and wall to wall police with over twenty uniforms and mustaches
in Tisdale.

 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.
