Tim's Tip of the Day

When you pick up your mail in Tisdale why not make a contribution or sign up for the September 19 Terry Fox Run with all contributions going to the Canadian Cancer Fund. (Click on thumb nail to see full size.)

Find of the day

Obama could kill fossil fuel overnight with a nuclear dash for thorium
Because nuclear power in America, Russia and France was so closely tied to the production of weapons grade material the nuclear industry has not pursued the use of other materials for power production. Thorium is cheap and an excellent alternative.

Monday
August 16, 2010

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.
