 Manufacturing
truths out of hypothesises and out of duplicities
- Monday
February 2, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Logic is an unforgiving thing and we are being
asked to forego logic so that new situations do not make the past the lie that it
most surely was. If there were no weapons of mass destruction then what possible
reason was there for a war with Iraq. It is now established, there were no such weapons.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| Far more significant than Janet Jackson's stunt is the ridiculous pronouncements
by CBS and the NFL. Isn't it about time that the North American society grow up and
leave its adolescenes behind. Half the people on earth have swollen chests yet so
much todo about what is so totally normal. |

Kevin's find of the day
|
 CBS Apologizes for Jackson's Exposure
(PDF) This Associated Press story tells of the absurb event that concluded the Super
Bowl half time show and as amazing as it seems the CBS ignores the exposure of Janet
Jackson's breast as a deliberate part of the song being done by Justin Timberlake. |

 The Uplook- Saturday
January 31, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire, Illustrated by Dawn LaRochelle
Tisdale: As intelligent life forms we have a tendance
to somehow impress ourselves with our own decision making yet the reality of life
is that much of what happens is out of hands. Many people find it frustrating and
downright upsetting to make this discovery but alas our individual significance is
grossly overstated.

 Reclaiming Control- Saturday
January 31, 2004
by: Mike Reilly
Winnipeg: There is a serious danger in parliament passing legislation without giving
the process and the consequences the kind of consideration needed. When this happens
we all suffer and here is a case in point.

 Sunlight and fog- Friday
January 30, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Habitation fog, meteorologists call it "ice
fog," is relatively common in arctic towns, villages and cities. Most noteably
Whitehorse where the Porter Creek area actually is frequently socked in with fog
of its own making. But for the rest of us it is rare and with this recent cold snap
we had it three days running. These interesting pictures were taken Thursday morning.

January 30, 2004

 Rhapsody in Blue- Thursday
January 29, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Here are a set of pictures taken Wednesday
after sunset as the temperature descended toward -40º. The arid air and the
darkening sky provide a background for one of the most significant pieces of music
produced in the twentieth century. To hear this music you will need QuickTime
installed in your computer (download

 The madness of privatisation:
The root of an injustice system, in Saskatchewan and elsewhere- Thursday
January 29, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This is a very complex article as Mario deSantis explains that private and
public good can be extraordinarily confused and this should not be the case. Read
this story carefully and check out the wealth of references the help to explain the
problem.

 Flat tax unfairly
increases burden of low income home owners- Wednesday
January 28, 2004
by: Joyce Neufeld
Waldeck: With the changes that have been made in the
Urban Municipal Act city and town councils have tended to lower their mill rate and
utilise a flat tax that has in effect drastically increased the amount of taxes paid
on the lowest valued properties. One house in Waldeck, just East of Swift Current
has seen its property tax increase by 346% while the second highest valued property
in that village saw its taxes actually go down.

 Battle moves from
the courtroom to your desktop- Tuesday
January 27, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This issue is far greater and more complex
than can be dealt with in a short story on this web site but mid afternoon yesterday
the latest worm "MyDoom" began arriving in our e-mail and it is just pouring
in today. This one is related to the fight for control of computer operating systems
and at the base of it all is the "American way of doing things".

 Kindersley PeeWee
Klippers "AA" 8-6 over Tisdale PeeWee Ramblers- Monday
January 26, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Sunday afternoon Kindersley PeeWees were in
town and it was one of those high scoring games with four goals in the first period
and eight in the second. So there was lots of action for the fans.
