 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.

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

 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.

 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.

and Iraq- Friday, July 25, 2003

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.

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.

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
