Tim's Tip of the Day


This lady could have driven her car across town but she chose to walk. Let's face it, the simplest and best exercise available to everyone is the fun experience of just going for a walk

Kevin's find of the day

Sabo complainant back on the job (PDF) Rod Nickel of the Saskatoon Star Phoenix recalls the issues that saw the assistant to the Saskatoon police chief on paid leave for eleven months during which time she got divorced.

Ensign Notes

It is impossible to view things without the context in which they are found. Essentially all things work toward producing that context and to deny that is to deny reality.

Tuesday, April 27

7:30 Maurice Taylor Theatre pre-registration for grade 10 this coming school year.

Thursday, April 29

Tisdale Calendar
of Events


Hyperbole and argumentum ad hominem
Tuesday
April 27, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls Ontario : Joe Clark has pointed out what most people realise and that is that what is called the Conservative Party is really lead by an Alberta separatist who holds views that are not shared by most Canadians. Another former prime minister, Brian Mulroney who when he left office under a very nasty cloud is loudly proclaiming the merits of Stephen Harper. Who would you believe, Lyin' Brian or Good Ole' Joe.

Paul Martin And Joe Clark, Canadian Heroes
Tuesday
April 27, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : Joe Clark's lack of enthusiasm for Stephen Harper is not appreciated by Alliance/Tory followers and Ron takes the issue to yet another level.

Sometimes the wind blows
Monday
April 26, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Regina : For several days Saskatchewan was at the mercy of a formidable and unrelenting wind which seemed to peek Saturday afternoon with more than 45 knots from about 030º. This scene shows the Qu'Appelle Valley south of Southey.

The Greenwater Report
Monday
April 26, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Airdrie Alberta : Gerald and Doreen are on the road visiting in Alberta and sharing their trip with us.

Electoral Reform Proposal Misconceptions
Monday
April 26, 2004
by : Wayne Smith
Toronto : Mr. Smith is responding to the Electoral Reform story by Brian Marlatt of last Wednesday as he points out that many common misconceptions about the idea of proportional representation are not a threat.

War in Iraq: Using statistics to misinform and prove Bush’s divine guidance
Monday
April 26, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The built in features of the Free Market: corruption in politics and business, corruption in research for the purpose to maintain the status quo. Rather than an ever ending war against terrorism we need a never ending war against poverty, hunger, injustice.

Tisdale Young Eagles take to the sky
Wednesday
April 21, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Saturday was a gloomy overcast day but the spirits were sky high at Tisdale airport as thirty-five young people signed up for their ride in an aircraft with flying club pilots and fuel supplied by sponsors of the event.

Electoral Reform Proposals
Wednesday
April 21, 2004
by : Brian Marlatt
White Rock B. C. : Democracy is not nearly as robust a concept as one might think and in this story we are warned of the dangers of turning over the selection of representatives to political parties. Though aiming at fairness narrowly focused interest groups or even regional interest groups could serious upset the political system and produce even greater unfairness.

We must do lunch more often
Wednesday
April 21, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : A few mintues before twelve I was at the Golden Age Centre to enjoy an absolutely wonderful quiche lunch.

Paul Martin and his 'new' plan for Healthcare
Wednesday
April 21, 2004
by : Rebecca Gingrich
Princeton, Ontario : Though the Prime Minister and Minister of Health talk like they have good things going for Canada's health care system the Prime Minister is just a wee bit short on credibility.

Bush, the Armageddon fundamentalist, says:"I haven't suffered doubt. History, we won't know. We'll all be dead."
Wednesday
April 21, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : One of America's most respected journalists has said in his book what Mario deSantis has been saying in this web site since 9-11 and now the added feature of the Saudi's manipulating fuel prices. I guess that's what friends are for.

Sixty-six houses and lots on the Tisdale Market this spring
Tuesday
April 20, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Here is a catalogue of the houses and lots on the market in Tisdale today. Only one new house and many older small homes, but there is something for everyone in this market place.

Better April 16 than June 6th
Tuesday
April 20, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls : The Prime Minister visited Camp Gagetown in New Brunswick, the first prime minister ever to visit this army base and in his speech last Wednesday he made a mistake, his printed speech had the word Normandy in it twice but twice he said Norway. We are used to the American leader making gaffs like this but in Canada we expect more of our leaders especially a man in his sixties seeking election this year.

The Greenwater Report
Tuesday
April 20, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : Spring has been taking its time but things have been busy with auction sales, a 15th anniversary of a business and a new grand opening in Naicam. Meanwhile the birds are still around the feeder and the sandhill cranes have taken over the countryside.
