Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day


Fruit and veg may be harmful to smokers
This story is from Toowoomba Australia and reports on a European study that found over an eight year period the eating of fruits and vegetables by smokers increased their incidence of colon cancer. The bottom line, quit smoking.

  • Saturday, April 18 7:30 Eileen Laverty at the RECPlex theatre
 
 
Stone throwing: Best done after self evaluation
Thursday
April 16, 2009
by:Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls Ontario: The Prime Minister is demanding that his party stay clear of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. The Prime Minister asserts that his party has a moral compass and the Liberals do not. Looks like we need to think these moral issues over just a little bit more.

Canadian Grain Act - Bill C-13; privatisation on the march
Thursday
April 9, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: As we discover the reason Canada's banking sector is one of the soundest in the world is because it is not allowed free reign but is carefully controlled. Up to now countries around the world can import grain from Canada knowing it is safe but all that could change because the government wants to do away with all controls on the grain handling industry to benifit the grain companies.

Thursday
April 2, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire

Wednesday
April 1, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
