They just didn't nab him!
Friday
February 20, 2004
by: Edwin Wallace
Success : How soon we all forget. The years that followed Grant Devine's defeat were years where the main Saskatchewan news stories dealt with the latest criminal investigation of yet another member of the Devine government. The kingpin of those cases was that of Deputy Premier Eric Bernsten. Though Grant Devine was never officially implicated, as with the scandal in Quebec of the Liberal's making, also begs the question, as to how could such things be going on and the boss not knowing about it?


Grassroots mowed down
Friday
February 20, 2004
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls : The Conservative Party's Interim Committee chairperson Don Plett says that the committee wants to keep the party "pure". Seems like the Reform/Alliance/Conservatives have held to their principles all along. Stephen Harper was a declared Alberta Separatist who is seeking the leadership of the party, Grant Devine is one of Canadians politicians who fought and stood for Canadian Unity.

Bush’s tax cuts: a reductionist economic policy for a reductionist thinker
Friday
February 20, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : What is so hard to confront is the realisation that if we listen to what the US president and his government say it not only doesn't add up it doesn't make any sense either.

Tim's Tip of the Day

We often over estimate the extent of what leaders actual know and understand about their work. "What did he know and when did he know it?" Most answers to questions like that are already something we know, simply by checking what was said at the time. Prime Minister Chretien pointed out that a few million missing dollars is a small price to pay for a stable country. He did not say a hundred million he said a few million, there is a good chance he knew, but like the rest of us, the staggering amount would be as much a surprise to him as it was to us. Remember also that Paul Martin thought the government did less than a million dollars worth of business with his steamship line when it turns out it is more that $165 million. It is far easier to tell the truth for most people than lie, remember knowledge is power.

Kevin's find of the day

Half of all languages face extinction this century (PDF) This startling NewScientist story is what many have feared for some time. In Watson Lake Yukon of the two groups of local people the Tahltan number some 750 people but in 1991 only 40 can speak the language. Scientists fear humanity may suffer a serious loss with these languages as so much of culture and knowledge is embedded in language. Also check the site on Nearly extinct languages.

It's Snowtime
Thursday
February 19, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : We are definitely into the typical March cycle of weather disturbances as one snow fall comes just as another ends. Here is the way things looked around Tisdale this morning with the snow falling.

Up to your eyeballs
Thursday
February 19, 2004
by : Dawn and Donna LaRochelle
Gravelbourg : All across southern Saskatchewan from Weyburn to Swift Current the snow has filled in the farm yards. Here is a typical farm yard near Gravelbourg.

The devil you know or the devil you don't? The devil you don't know is looking better everyday.
Thursday
February 19, 2004
by : Randy Kubik

membership, constitution, who cares!
Wednesday
February 18, 2004
by : Ken Richardson
Bella Bella : The way the Conservative party was fashioned seems to be right in step with the Liberal's conduct in Quebec. Rules and democracy were and are simply ignored.

Have governments reduced their citizens to Doublethinkers?
Wednesday
February 18, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The frightening reality is that Orwellian thought, so much a part of the 1930s, that George Orwell dramatised in his novel 1984, seems like the environment of today. War is peace, freedom is slavery and as this story points out the power of "doublethink" is becoming common place.

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.

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.

Thursday
February 12, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
