and the fallacy of Productivity: Agricultural subsidies, steel tariff,
quota on bras, and casualties of wars- Wednesday
December 3, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Though the Americans preach the wonders of
the free market system yet at every turn they do everything possible to undermine
and conflict with that same system when it is not to their advantage. This story
has outstanding references that illustrate the points made.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| There is nothing to indicate that the Canadian dollar will not continue to rise in
comparison to the US dollar while we have to realise that compared to other currencies
the Canadian dollar is rising slower than all other currencies because of the close
ties between our economies. |

New gadget allows alcoholl to be inhaled.

 Signs of Economic

December 3, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
Washington: The Economy of the United States talks big, well sort of Texan at that,

 Marriage, be it
same sex, same family, same harem- Monday
December 1, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: The same day that a Saskatoon Member of Parliament
was embarrassing himself and his party over this issue, an Edmonton reporter wanted
to find out what Liberal Member of Parliament really thought about it and she reported
what he said. Our man in Edmonton, Ron Thornton took exception to her comments. Might
be a good idea to read the references first then this story.

 The Conservative Party of
Canada: An 'evolution' of the Tory Party? ... or Reform's latest guise?- Monday
December 1, 2003
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: It is clear now that Alliance members
have swamped the Progressive Conservative Party's process to vote on a merger. As
with so many things that seem attractive when you want them, once you get them, is
this really a workable situation or just yet another name change.

 What are the limits?- Thursday
November 27, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: As we survey last night's setting sun the question
of limitations has to be addressed. Is the sky really the limit, of course we know
it is not, so we have to be willing to talk about the limits and that means talking
about priorities. Regina is closing three public libraries and an art gallery, the
libraries all in economically depressed areas. A year ago we talked about on this
site and everywhere else, the limits of public medicare, a year has gone by and little
has changed. So as we gaze at the sky we have to talk about limits.

 Digital Video
Editing- Thursday
November 27, 2003
by: Kevin McIntyre
Carrot River: Lots of people buy video camcorders then
after a few attempts they find a home in a closet someplace waiting for a future
garage sale. Kevin tells us how to take a digital camcorder and a computer and put
together something that can be watched. Video is undigestible unless you edit it
in some fashion and here is how.

 The Free Market
according to president Bush and his brother Neil
Short term gains and long term pains- Thursday
November 27, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story and its references is hinting at
a disturbing problem with human nature. It seems that like leopards humans are pretty
much the way they are if raised in a specific mindset and culture there is little
chance of them being able to alter their perception and means of dealing with the
world.
