Near Blizzard, Warns Environment Canada
Tuesday

by: Matthew and Timothy Shire
Regina and Tisdale : The day began with weather warning being issued by Environment Canada as there was a fast moving storm crossing the province today and it was described as "near blizzard".

by: R. W. Shire and Candace Shire

On Democracy of Free Market, Frame of Language, Criminalization of Malice
Tuesday
February 10, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : When its dog eat dog, a level of merciless develops, everything is a fight and everyone loses. Democracy is not about economic cannibalism, but the economic forces that are at the root of the dog fight are less than human.

Tim's Tip of the Day

Pay close attention to the actions taken by the Federal government as it attempts to deal with what has to be one of the biggest scandals in Canadian political history. How this issue is dealt with will determine what sort of country we are and what sort of country we want to become.

Kevin's find of the day

"On the news at noon they said the Canadian Health Report was released today and we aren't doing to good. On the heels of the new smoking ban and the province gearing up for a 100% ban 01/01/05. They are going to go after fat people the way they have gone after smokers." This is what Kevin said today about the stories that were on both CBC, CTV and most major Canadian papers including Helen Branswell's story (PDF) that appeared on Canoe.

Ensign Notes

Lots of weather pictures and a little politics to get us through a Tuesday evening.


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.

The Greenwater Report
Monday
February 9, 2004
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: The weather is the big news at the park this week as snow machines converge on the park by the hundreds.

Culligan Synchronised skating Provincial Competition
Sunday
February 8, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Saturday Tisdale celebrated synchronised skating with competitors from Martinsville, Lanigan, Drake, Regina and Saskatoon coming to town to compete in the provincial championship. This page includes QuickTime Video.

Tisdale School Division Curling Play-downs
Friday
February 6, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: It is great to see that curling is alive and well in Tisdale School Division as players from Arborfield, Zenon Park, Bjorkdale and Tisdale competed today in the Divisional championship.

Drugs
Friday
February 6, 2004
by: Concerned Tisdale Parent
Tisdale: After reading yesterdays story "Nosework" a parent sent this message to alert the community to the threat she has learned is now a part of the Tisdale environment. It was decided not to post the parent's name as it may cause trouble for that parent's child/children.

Nosework
Thursday
February 5, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Corrections Canada officers demonstrate to high school students the work of their drug sniffing dogs at the RECPlex Theatre today. Highly focused labrador retrievers who consider their work of searching for smells as a game and a challenge.

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.

Cadillac, the winter of 2003 - 2004
Wednesday
February 4, 2004
by: Victor Cote
Cadilla: Things have been pretty rough this winter in Southern Saskatchewan. But there is more, in addition to the tough winter Cadilla has had a bowl water situation with its water supply since 2001.

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.

Back Alley Barrier
Tuesday
February 3, 2004
by: Stu Innes
Regina: Regina is working its way out of the snow from this past weekend and as with all things there can be problems. Stu Innes lives on Albert Street and in the back alley behind his house the City crushed in a wall of snow that effectively imprisoned a neighbour's car.
