 The progress of
democracy
- Monday
February 9, 2004
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock, B.C.: The prime minister is working hard
at making parliament more effective and is unlikely to fall into the errors seen
in the United States with both their constitution and the powers of their states.
Many of the planks of the Conservative Party of Canada, if it had such a thing are
those very errors Jefferson placed in the consitution that led to their civil war.

 Appellation Tory misleading- Monday
February 9, 2004
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario: The press is using a term that
clearly has a real meaning and applies to some people but there is no real connection
with the term "tory" and the Conservative Party of Canada and its Reform/Alliance
wannabe leaders.

 Bush’s Machiavellian democracy in Iraq
and an extravagant American economy- Thursday
February 5, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It seems impossible for the American dream
to have much of a future as the simple logic that Free Market and democracy are incompatible
concepts.

 Bush orders intelligence
inquiry: a cover up on top of another and of another…- Wednesday
February 4, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : There is no surprise that Americans are about
to look a little deeper into the actions of their government as it relates the Iraq
War and the attempt to blame it on faulty intelligence is the latest gamble to deflect
the hard and serious finger pointing that is going on as the United States is into
its election year.

 Foiled- Tuesday
February 3, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : We have a tendence to believe, quite incorrectly
by the way, "that things in nature are without malace or evil intent. Like
other animals birds are thought to just respond to their instincts and live their
lives as they were designed to do." That concept is a myth. Waxwings are
evil, they harbour vandalistic thoughts toward me, my camera and especially my van.
Not only do they resent me, but they pass on their dislike from generation to generation.
This is not paranoia it is evidence based bias on my part and theirs.

by: Stu Innes
Regina: Regina is working its way out of the snow from

 Believing is not seeing- Tuesday
February 3, 2004
by: Andrew and Timothy Shire
Winnipeg: Making a bland building what it is not is
in itself an artform. This is an extreme example of paint replacing architecture.

 Nothing But Junk
Food Left For Political Junkies On The Right?- Tuesday
February 3, 2004
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: The members of the former Progressive Conservative
party consider the melding of their party and the Alliance as a hostile take over,
Stephen Harper is seen as an Albertan, Tony Clement, the former Ontario Health Minister
who is best known for the failure of Ontario's ability to handle the SARs outbreak
and a thirty-seven year old twice divorced millionairess, Belinda Stronach, who certainly
knows business, are the candidates for the new Conservative party. Its fair to guess
that Paul Martin has nothing to fear.

 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.
