A world of Newspeak: socio-economic system for looking after number one and after profits
Saturday
February 14, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Living in the approach of World War II George Orwell wrote about a frightening world where the official line was accepted even thinking against the government was a crime. As thing seem to spin further and further beyond what could possibly considered a real world it looks an awful lot like the world George Orwell was describing in his novel.

Tim's Tip of the Day

The raven is so smart that there might be a good case made for them having the right to vote, pay taxes and shop at the liquor board store but then we all know they are to smart to do any of those things.

Kevin's find of the day

Canada condemns 'Racist' Conan O'Brien TV Show (PDF) This Reuters story by David Ljunggren explains how Ontario and the Federal government paid NBC's O'Brien to bring his show to Toronto for a week and he takes a real shot at Quebec. Kevin describes this as " Isn't this like your mommy paying the neighbor kid to be your friend? "

Ensign Notes

No posting Sunday or Monday as we are on a road trip.


Marvelous Marvin
Saturday
February 14, 2004
by: Edwin Wallace
Success : The President of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool is retiring and its time for some parting shots at one of the people who is responsible for destroying an outstanding co-operative and replacing it with a worthless bunch of shares in a corporation that is doomed.

Premier's round table meeting in Tisdale
Friday
February, 13, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Premier Calvert attends his second round table meeting, this time here in Tisdale as he met with government, business and community representatives to discuss issues facing Saskatchewan people in preparation for this year's budget and legislative session.

Bolt gave out
Thursday
February 12, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : This is the scene yesterday morning as water streamed out of the street. A bolt on a valve had rusted through and it was time to dig today.

Was he "Sleepy" or "Schultz"?
Thursday
February 12, 2004
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: The outrage Canadians feel at the betrayal of trust as money flowed from public works into Quebec ad agencies or other Crown Corporations is not going to go away here is Joe Hueglin's view on it and I have combined his comments with two other contribuotrs.

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.

After the storm
Wednesday
February 11, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : This story shows the aftermath of the snow and wind that visited us yesterday and includes a stark prairie 360º QuickTime Panorama of the area between Tisdale and Valparasio.

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.

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.

Moose Jaw after is fire of December 2003
Tuesday
February 10, 2004
by: R. W. Shire and Candace Shire
Moose Jaw: On two different occassions our photographers capture a scene of destruction and unusual beauty left behind from Moose Jaw's fire department's efforts to halt the progress of a winter fire in late December.

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.

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.
