Tisdale: Almost every day there is time for a drive around town or out into the surrounding countryside and of course that means an opportunity to capture the scenes. We have had a lot of cloudy and foggy weather this past week and these pictures show how the snow level is continuing to rise as the cover on the fields and yards is slowly building up. This set of 46 images are some of this week's collection.

Tisdale: Canada's very wealthy are mostly CEOs and business executives each earning millions annually.

Tisdale: Little amounts of snow have been drifting down from the sky each day and on Wednesday night there was fog which of course resulted in the usual coating of frost on the trees and fences. Since the wind was from the south the frost was most noticable on the south side of the trees. Almost all of the pictures in this group of twenty-eight are shown here in black and white.

- Political distaste
-
Tuesday
November 30, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire
-
-
Tisdale: This is a discussion about some unsettling trends in our Canadian society and in this story the point is made that we are slipping toward an unquestioning and unreasonable form of political reality. The introduction of a one sided news channel is a serious matter for this country and does not produce balance but rather heads us toward the abyss of one minded, one acceptable ideology for all.

Victoria, British Columbia: North Korea's unprovoked artillary attack on a South Korean island killed two soldiers and two civilians while pushing China and United States into a confrontation over their client states.
