Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| Not miracle drugs, the latest fad diet, aroma therapy or what ever other wonder of
the world that comes around can match the restorative and healing power of sleep.
Many of us stumble around hyped up on coffee and in sleep deficit most of the time. |

Kevin's find of the day

 Is there any malice
in Bush's newspeak?- February 12, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The economic woes of the individual citizens of the United States are far
more concerning in this election year than foreign wars and security. There are
so many Americans out of work and so many who have simply quit looking and this is
what makes the president's statement last Sunday seem nasty to the point of being
malicious.
|
|
 Either Way- Thursday
February 12, 2004
by: Rebecca Gingrich
Princeton, Ontario : The savage abuse of tax money in
Quebec could not have gone un-noticed by the MPs from Quebec and especially and MP
who was minister of finance.
|

 Will Ontarians turn a blind
eye?- Thursday
February 12, 2004
by: Phyllis Hubeli
Surrey, B.C. : The voters of Ontario and Quebec elect
Canada's government the rest of the country does not count. With this scandal will
they re-elect, of course they will, there is no viable alternative.

 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.

 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.

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

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
