That December look
 
Friday
December 15, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale :
The sun is low on the horizon and the horizon seems far away as the writer reflects on the worsening state of life in rural Saskatchewan. Perhaps its just the time of year, its all about the way you look at things.

Kevin's find of the day

Ensign Notes

.Happenings In Tisdale:

Dawn takes Toronto
 
Thursday
December 14, 2006
by : Dawn Shire

A set of fourteen images taken during mid November on a visit to Toronto by Regina artist and illustrator, Dawn Shire.
Parkland Photography Club meeting report
 
Wednesday
December 13, 2006
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park :
This past month's theme was "speed" and the three images displayed do the job. The report tells of getting their displays and slide show in order and alerts members of their next meeting.
Vanishing horizons
 
Tuesday
December 12, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale :
What have we lost when Christmas carols, once sacred song of love and devotion have come to symbolise crass ultra commercialism? When did Santa Claus become Jesus' brother and would banishing him make any real difference? Questions that go beyond our line of sight.
Last day for another house
 
Tuesday
December 12, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale :
A house just west of the SAAN store was destroyed today making room for a new house or freeing up the lot for further development.
The Greenwater Report
 
Monday
December 11, 2006
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park :
Deep snow has insulated the ice below and poses a threat to snowmobilers who are out in big numbers. The park skating rink is open and in good shape and Gerald has three great pictures for us this week.
Orwellian double-speak at its best! Costing only $300 million
 
Monday
December 11, 2006
by : Eugene Parks
Victoria B.C. :
Making declarations about cleaning up the environment or sorting out toxic chemicals makes good headlines but the Federal Environment Ministers appears to be involved in an elaborate smoke screen programme.
Opposition needs to oppose Government Wheat Board destruction
 
Friday
December 8, 2006
by : William Dascavich
Edmonton :
Though Liberal leader Dion vows to reinstate the Wheat Board if the government succeeds in destroying the institution by then the damage will not be reversible the need for strong opposition is right now.
To do no harm
 
Friday
December 8, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale :
For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. Not only we as individuals but we as in our democratic government need to be increasingly aware of the harm that can be produced by the actions our government takes.
Strahl implementing what U.S. failed to achieve
 
Friday
December 8, 2006
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario :
The wheat Board has been a thorn in the side of US agricultural policy and now we see the Harper government doing their Republican buddies yet another favour.
Divide and Conquer - Quebecois as a nation within the Dominion of Canada
 
Thursday
December 7, 2006
by : Robert Ede
Richmond Hill, Ontario :
A cheap political ploy by the Prime Minister's motion identifying Quebec as a nation has some far reaching and unpleasant results for all Canadians.
Saskatchewan Conservative Party
 
Thursday
December 7, 2006
by : Joyce Neufeld
Waldeck :
The attempted destruction of the Canadian Wheat Board by the federal government gets almost full support from the opposition party in the Saskatchewan legislature.
Storming along
 
Wednesday
December 6, 2006

You will have noticed that Ensign has not been updated for the past seven days or so. I dashed off to Winnipeg and this is the story about this adventure.

Monday
November 27, 2006

Thouugh common to central Saskatchewan and Alberta I just haven't seen one of these guys in Tisdale before but Sunday afternoon this one dropped by to nibble on this spruce tree before hustling off to an appointment somewhere else.
The Greenwater report
 
Monday
November 27, 2006

Greenwater Provincial Park :
This week's report has some interesting questions about moose, muskrats and the migrations of both them and people.
