Tim's Tip of the Day

The word "accident" is primarily an excuse for indeed few if any things are truly accidental. What is happening to Africa is not an accident, it is a political policy of more than one international country or of the UN to see the continent depopulated and prostrated for corporate take over.

Kevin's find of the day

Last weekend's plane crash that killed Nipawin's Dr. Christiansen caused by mechanical failure.

Ensign Notes

The summer and summer holidays are over and Ensign will resume its normal posting. It will take a while to get back into the normal swing of things but an attempt will be made.


Catholics are bound by conscience to adhere to the Pope's teachings
Wednesday, August 13, 2003
by: Rudy Fernandes
It is important to understand the mind set of our fellow citizens and Mr. Fernandes gives us a look on the pro-Bishop Henry side of things. It would have been nice for Bishop Henry to have been as vocal when the issue of Catholic priest and sexual abuse of children was in the news. For many of us the Roman Catholic Church has lost all moral authority as it condones and contributes to sexual abuse by its priests and leaders.

The game theory of Policy Analysis Market (PAM):Bush's attempt to make terrorism a commodity of the Free Market
Wednesday, August 13, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Mario deSantis developed this remarkable story over a week ago but we were unable to get it to you until now. Sometimes, and this is one of those times real events are much wilder than anything anyone could dream up as fiction.

The No-Fault Insurance of the Free Market: No fault with Dr. Cassidy, SGI, University of Saskatchewan and Dr. McLennan
Wednesday, August 13, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Three years ago we figured out that the provincial insurance company was using the University of Saskatchewan to create some evidence for their no fault scheme. Now the research has been declared invalid by the University's ethics committee but the fools are still circling the wagons and the University's credibility and ability to attract research is history.

The Greenwater Report
Tuesday, August 12, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Gerald takes us to the Golburn fair and tells us about the world of being a CNR station agent.

Premier Calvert Visits Tisdale
Thursday, August 7, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
The Premier and several cabinet ministers were in town today meeting workers and neighbours on their annual tour. They will be in town until 1:30 and then its on to Nipawin.

Speculation regarding Charter challenge confirmed
Thursday, August 7, 2003
by: Joe Huegin
The government decision to deal with the "same sex" marriage issue may have opened a whole set of related issues.

Gooseville
Wednesday, August 6, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Though Saskatoon and Regina lead the country in crime statistics they are also two of Canada's most beautiful cities. Here is a brief glimpse at Regina.

A Letter to the Prime Minister about BSE
Wednesday, August 6, 2003
by: Peter MacKay
We received this letter while on our recent trip into the states and saw first hand how the absence of Canadian beef in the US market has sent the price of beef well above average. While here in Canada we are seeing cattle feed falling to unheard of low prices. This situation is terminal for many and must be addressed. Peter MacKay has a suggestion.

Our Summer Vacation or... How I Love Saskatchewan, Sometimes
Wednesday, August 6, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Here is your chance to go on a camping trip in Canada's desert with Ron, his wife Amy and sons John and Ronald. During their trip they were to not only smell the dust but they got to find out where hell is.

Tisdale's Farmers Market's new look
Tuesday, August 5, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Definitely a classy farmers market now with coffee and hot dog stand as the group has shaped the market into a market square.

The Greenwater Report
Monday, August 4, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Gerald has been off touring again and today's report has some great pictures of our part of the world.

Oshkosh AirVenture 2003: an introduction
Monday, August 4, 2003
After a week on the road we are back and we have stories to tell about our trip to the biggest airshow in the world.

Tisdale at 35'
Friday, July 25, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
With only a little perspective things look a lot different. FTLComm is working on a project to produce some special images for the Tisdale Town web site and you get to see the work in progress.

The Greenwater report
Friday, July 28, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
With hot summer weather Gerald is finding it hard to stay put as he goes camping, but, he takes us along.

Our own understanding is better than the managed objective truth: The 9-11 attacks, Al Qaeda and Iraq
Friday, July 25, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
American politicians are struggling with what constitutes the truth and what to do about apparent deliberate attempts to give the public impressions of things that are not even close to reality. This story includes some outstanding references and needs your full attention.

Plymouth Fury, 1958
Wednesday, July 23, 2003
by: R. W. Shire and Timothy Shire
What kind of world must it have been for there to have been a time when someone would design a car that looked like this one. Definitely makes one think about the exuburance and enthusiasm of the 1950s.

It's My Party, I'll Try If I Want To
Wednesday, July 23, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
This story outlines the basic issues that Ron Thornton feels are needed to make Canada a fair and appropriate country.

The gospel of fairer taxes in accordance with the preachers: Mr. Robinson and Friar Thomas d'Aquino
Wednesday, July 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The motivation behind the policies advocated by some of the "experts" needs to be questioned. Mario suggests that the way of thinking may even be a problem as the problem may not even be the problem.

Greenwater Provincial Park a gem
Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Each week Gerald Crawford tells us about life in around the fifth provincial park in Saskatchewan but it isn't until you spend some time at the place do you discover the remarkable beauty and outstanding outdoor setting that makes this one of the most attractive parks in the province.

The Greenwater Report
Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Gerald and Doreen have been wandering and this week's report is a photo essay of their adventures and journeys. This edition of the "Report" has some truly memorable images.

Memo to the Premiers: No more tax collectors … thanks, but no thanks
Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
At the recent premier's conference in Charlottetown the idea of the provinces going it alone to collect taxes was once more trotted out to show their displeasure with Ottawa. Walter Robinson points out that it is not a sound idea and has no real merit.

The GREED of the Free Market is not a matter of public or private services: SHIN and SAIC, Romanow and Robinson
Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Guilt by association, at least motivation by association seems to be the underlying theme as Mario reports on the cozy association Saskatchewan's government has had with one of the world's leading arms dealers and developers.

Greenwater Highland trail
Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Timothy and Judy Shire
Join us for a walk of about an hour and twenty minutes through forest, past some swamps and up and over a hill or two. Sorry you can only see the pictures, the saskatoons are not compatible with this medium.

Annual storms rip across the prairie
Friday, July 18, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Last night warning and severe weather watch alerts were broadcast as a series of cells marched across Saskatchewan. This page includes a QuickTime VR showing last nights sky at sunset.

The Convertible syndrome
Thursday, July 17, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
In a country where there are years when the weather is not good enough to find a day to put the top down the idea of a topless car is like forbidden candy or like winning the lottery dreams.
