 Nuclear
Power is not safe, it is not clean, it is not economical- Thursday
December 9, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: Emotions run very high about this topic but we need to step back from the noise
and check the facts. The proponents of this industry gloss over the glaring and utterly
overwhelming dangers of the past, all of which avoided the ultimate disaste,r which
is not just possible, but is inevitable.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
On ice with a front wheel drive vehicle you better remember to
use not the brakes but the accellerator to get yourself out of trouble. With
limited traction apply modest power to avoid a vehicle out of control or negotiate
a slippery turn and when that fails, count on ABS brakes by jumping on the
brake peddle as hard as possible. Without ABS the powered front wheels are
your only hope in an emergency. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 Homeless Iraq
vets showing up at shelters Mark Benjamin
of United Press International deals with the huge number of US veterans who
are homeless, mostly from the Vietnam era but now it looks like many veterans from
Iraq are starting to need help. |

by : Marjaleena Repo

 Next
Year- Thursday
December 2, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : With
the arrival of winter the crop year of 2004 is now behind us and there is no other
course of action than to consider the prospects for the coming year. Worthless crops
remain in the fields and worthless grain in storage while even more worthless cattle
continue to eat up abundant feed that even though cheap, will not yield and a net
return.

 Its
here again- Tuesday
November 30, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Alas
its time once more to shovel off the drive way, clear the sidewalk, make sure the
shovel is in the trunk of the car and put that extra set of keys in your pocket so
you can get in when you luck the keys inside with it running.

- A perception of the disorder in the New World Order: Canadian health care, the falling American dollar, universities’
independence
- Friday
November 26, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: Though Canada's health care system, the falling American dollar and the reliance
of Canadian universities upon money from private business seem to be completely different
topics Mr. deSantis is pointing out that this is our world and we have to accept
responsibility for thinking things through and we need to object when the appropriate
compromise between "need and greed" goes unchecked. This story needs some
careful consideration and you will have to refer to the references to grasp the complexities
of these inter-related issues.

- "I
must go down to the seas again"
- Thursday
November 25, 2004
by : Ken Jones and John Masefield
Nova Scotia :
When I studied John Masefield's "Sea Fever"
in high school it was quaint and the words interesting but it really meant nothing
until two days ago when Ken Jones sent me these amazing pictures of the Atlantic
off the coast of Nova Scotia taken in late October of this year.

by : Bev Currie

simple and inexpensive preventative measure to a killer.

 How
anti-American is she, really?- Tuesday
November 23, 2004
by : Marjaleena Repo
Saskatoon : Though
the news and her former party leader have tried to paint this Missassauga member
of parliament as a loud mouth who does not think through what she is saying, this
is perhaps a biased opinion, as she may well be telling people what they don't want
to hear.
