Watson, the home of the Santa Claus Day
Saturday
December 13, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Watson: This unique little prairie town is all dressed up for Christmas and we have some pictures to show you taken as a light snow was falling and flakes melting on the windshield.


Judy died of Ovarian Cancer
Saturday
December 13, 2003
by: Carol M. Martin
Courtenay, B.C.: Though we hear a lot about Breast and Prostrate cancer it seems the public is much less aware of the killer Ovarian Cancer which steadily each year takes a remarkable toll of human life. Carol Martin spells out for us the basic information about this deadly disease, a personal story as her good friend died in August.


The ultimate deception of Bush's Free Market: "You are either with us or against us"
Saturday
December 13, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The American press and news media are now beginning to take some hard shots at the American President and what his policies are doing both to the economy and the credibility of the country in general. Ultimately the Americans have to accept the contempt that they as a people are going to be viewed for their conduct during this first part of the century. This story hurls out the points you must ask yourselves and the references provide you with some unpleasant answers.

Reindeer and Santa Claus
Friday
December 12, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire

Tim's Tip of the Day

The most dangerous words in our vocabulary are the absolutes. "All", "Never", "Ever" "same" we say them often without thinking and because of such words extended implications, our trival use of such words reduce our credibility and weaken the statement we are making. Whereas more considered "most", "rare", "foreseeable" and "similar" are more precise and accurate.

Kevin's find of the day

Scientists freeze beam of light (PDF) This BBC story by Paul Rincon explains how a group of Harvard scientists have been able to hold a beam of light without loss of its energy making way for the development of light based computer applications.

Friday
December 12, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Howard Dean, the former governor of Vermont seems to be taking the lead in the American Democratic nomination process and further gathered momentium this week when the Democratic candidate from the last presidential election Al Gore endorsed Dean because of his appropriate attitude toward the Iraq mistake.

America's Hidden Human Rights Problem: Freedom of Association
Friday
December 12, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
Washington: The United States is in the worst shape of all developed countries as its workers have not shared in the gains in productivity while at the same time the laws that govern Union member ship have been almost completely eroded while Americans who would if they could join a union are prevented from doing so.

So Peter MacKay feels "vindicated"
Friday
December 12, 2003

Thunder Bay, Ontario: Though you have heard this argument before here is a clear statement that outlines why the vote to merge the Progressive Conservative Party and the Canadian Alliance was fixed.

Isn't this an opportunity? "Unite the Bright"
Friday
December 12, 2003
by: Jim Love
"I didn't leave the party, it left me!" Canadians from coast to coast wonder what political alternative will best represent the way they feel about things. David Orchard hit a powerful chord that resonated with so many simply because he is a politician who makes sense, practical sense. Maybe its time to be practical, pragmatic and stick to the principles that make us all Canadian.

Regina, December 2003
Thursday
December 11, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Regina: For three days I drove around Regina, a place in which I have lived and worked but now only viist. This story is a set of pictures with some commentary about what it is about yet the pictures and the story are well above the surface.

Tisdale: On Friday we were able to post twenty-one stories or businesses in Tisdale and today we add to that number with most of the businesses in the Tisdale Mall. We still are missing a few and will get them late this week in part III.

The United States is officially breaking the constitutionality of the Rule of Law
Sunday
December 7, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This dramatic series of quotes points out the dangerous cross over the world's remaining superpower has taken as it now considers only it to be able to judge what is right and unless the issue is in that country's interest it will carry out whatever action it chooses.

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.
