Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Lorne Calvert's government
appears to have averted a teachers strike in Saskatchewan. The
tentative agreement reached early this afternoon is likely to
be accepted by the teachers and will form a solid basis for
a good settlement with the nurses. |
|
Kevin's find
of the day
|
 Gas
bonanza shakes dust from Western towns Todd Wilkinson of the Christian Science Monitor describes
the huge development in the Wyoming oil patch produced by the remarkable rise in
oil prices which makes marginal fields profitable. |

 Conservative
leaders' rhetoric does not match reality- Tuesday
April 12, 2005
by : Maarjaleena Repo
Saskatoon : With
talk of another election and the Harper crowd pompously pointing fingers at the Liberals
and their little Quebec scandal it is important to recall that down right cheating
is not the exclusive preserve of the former Liberal government and the opposition
itself is a party formed in a corrupt and deceitful manner.

 Tuesday
April 12, 2005
by : Edwin Wallace
Success : With
a teacher's strike looming the provincial government and opposition backed down on

- Gomery, Liberals, and political alternatives - or their lack
 Tuesday
April 12, 2005
by : Brian marlatt
White Rock B.C.
:Politics makes for strange bedfellkows and that certainly is the case as talk of
a June election is stirring the Opposition party to crank up its campaign machinery.
But realistically there are a lot of voters who have no political party left to support
and thus we had the inconclusive results last year, nothing really has changed.
