April Shower, snow- Wednesday
April 28, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Thanks
we needed that, last night we had a gentile shower (rain shower) that dribbled water
on the town and fields around us but during the night it turned to snow so that this
morning we all awoke to a white world once more.

 Boreal Owl- Wednesday
April 28, 2004
by : Lorna McEwan
Tisdale : Though they may be around we rarely get a
peek at the small owls. This species is actually smaller than the little burrowing
owl of the plains but can range all across western Canada along the tree line and
into the Yukon.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 You know we all have a choice, we can decide to be happy
or we can allow unhappiness and dwell on sadness. The choice is up to you. |
|

 Quennell’s Saskatchewan
Justice: a system stuck in the seventies- Wednesday
April 28, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The Saskatchewan Justice minister and the
minister in charge of social services decided to send a letter from the both of them
to the Saskatoon Star Phoenix in an effort to correct what they felt were inaccuracies
in a story. Many wonder if their published opinions may have influenced the outcome
of an ongoing court procedure.

April 27, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

 The
Race Card Played On American Idol?- Tuesday
April 27, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : Many
fans have been glued to their televisions with what is essentially a very high class
talent show, American Idol. The most recent person to be dropped from the finalists
was a controversial but powerful singer, Jennifer Hudson.

 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

 Electoral Reform Proposal
Misconceptions- Monday
April 26, 2004
by : Wayne Smith
Toronto : Mr.
Smith is responding to the Electoral Reform story by Brian Marlatt

 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.

April 21, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

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.
