The Grand old party is gone- Saturday
December 6, 2003
Today the Progressive Conservative party was taken over by the Canadian
Alliance and that seems to be that but earlier this week two different views of the
inevitable came in and we can see what Mr. Wolferstan from Victoria has to say in
his piece "honourable
and noble!" while on the other hand we have Robert Ede's optomistic view
"Making the Best
of the Tory "Yes", after Voting "No."
 honourable and
noble!- Saturday
December 6, 2003
by: W. H. Wolferstan
Victoria, B.C.: This commentary also appears in the
Friday edition of the Toronto Globe and Mail as Mr. Wolferstan objects to the charactisation
of the loyal Progressive Conservatives by a founder of the Canadian Alliance, Scott
McDougall. He wonders if this is the way to win friends and influence people.

 Making the Best
of the Tory "YES" Vote, after Voting "NO"- Saturday
December 6, 2003
by: Robert Ede
Richmond Hill Ontario: The reality of the absurd has
happened, this story sums up both the reality and the absurd and tosses in some "perhaps
we might" thoughts that help to clarify the situation that now faces a sizeable
number of Canadians.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| The most important part of getting a good picture is the planning and content target
you have in your mind. So many confound themselves with worrying about their camera,
hardware and fail to have a clear idea of what they want their picture to tell the
viewer. |

Kevin's find of the day
|
 Jackson may have to sell Beatles
songs.(PDF) Michael Jacksons problems are really only beginning he spends
a lot of money and has about $200 million in debts. This British story about his
financial woes is one of dozens written this past week that discuss the man's financial
failings. |

Ensign Notes
|
| It seems like I had a problem with a Compact Flash card because I shot the same images
I lost on Thursday and sure enough lost them having to get those same pictures for
a third time. |

 The hypocrisy of the American Free Market
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.

 Signs of Economic
Recovery Haven't Trickled Down- Wednesday
December 3, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
Washington: The Economy of the United States talks big, well sort of Texan at that,
but even though it showed a remarkable 8.2% growth in the last quarter the employment

 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.
