Canadians expect and deserve more from their government
Monday
August 16, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Few Canadians who know where their ancestors came from can condone the behaviour of the federal government. One minister tells us we need more prisons in this country because of "unreported crime" and another tells us that nearly 500 migrant refugees are criminals and possible terrorists. We deserve better from elected officials.

Tim's Tip of the Day

Despite the trend for Canada to become ever more steadily an urban society with millions crammed into cities. The real luxury and freedom of rural and small town Canada is far better for one's life and certainly more affordable.(Click on thumb nail to see full size.)

Find of the day

A retired Chinese General who has been known in the past for not necessarily singing the party tune has released an essay urging the government of China to move quickly to reform itself into an American like democracy otherwise it will vanish into chaos as did the Soviet Union.

Ploughing it under
Monday
July 26, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

Locally generated weather

Flowers and a robin
Tuesday
July 13, 2010
by: Matthew Shire

 
Regina: One evening a week ago Matthew wandered around his Regina yard with camera in hand and collected this interest group of thirty-four images. These images were taken with a Canon Rebel and a telophoto lens. However, the robin was unpreturbed by his picture taking and was about five to six feet away in these pictures. We present these images in a slide show accompanied by Diana Krall's Narrow Daylight from "The Girl in the other room" album.
