 Delay Election!!!- Wednesday
February 11, 2004
by: Tom Mitchell
Oshawa, Ontario : The ruthless and totally destructive
methods used by the Canadian Alliance and the few power hungry traitors in the Progressive
Conservative Party have left some very hard feelings and taught the Canadian public
that treachery is all that one can expect from the reform/alliance/conservatives,
yet Senator Noel Kinsella pleads for fairness from the Liberal government to give
them time to cobble together some sort of coherent policy.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| Politicians often say things like "hindsight is 20-20" or that "give
what we know now." When it comes right down to it few people if they were given
a chance to alter the decision they made would change that decision. Given the circumstances
of the Quebec referendum and the sad condition of the prime minister after the narrowest
of victories Gagliano and his millions would do just the same thing even if he could
go back and have a second chance. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
Woman marries dead boyfriend (PDF) no we are not making this up! French law
permits this unusual practice and a 35 year old woman has just married her deceased
boyfriend, Eric. |

 Bush on the Ropes: Lessons for the Democrats- Wednesday
February 11, 2004
by : Mark Weisbrot
Washington: The NBC interview with the US President
showed a man far less cocky than seen before and for good reasons. The reasons for
the war in Iraq were flimsy a year ago now they seem downright ridiculous and as
the Democrats march on through the primaries other questions are arising.

 Open letter to
Larry Hill, Director, CWB Board of Directors, District three- Wednesday
February 11, 2004
by: Edwin Wallace
Success : The Canadian Wheat Board has decided to cut costs and downsize its staff
by 135 people. Oh yes, now that makes sense, if you plan was to wreck the ability
of the organisation to do its job. Edwin is not amused.

 Near Blizzard,
Warns Environment Canada- Tuesday
February 10, 2004
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". So much for symantics
at 6:00 the Transcanada highway was closed from Alberta to Wolseley. This story has
some pictures from scenes today in Regina and in Tisdale.

 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.

 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.

by: Gerald Crawford

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.

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

 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.
