Its not easy being mean- Wednesday
February 25, 2004
by : Judy Shire
La Ronge : The sky in this northern community is often
quite different from what we see only a few hours South. The spindly ragged trees
are the northern imitation for palm trees and just as exotic.

 Going to the Chapel
. . . part I- Wednesday
February 25, 2004
by : Cassandra Shire
Winnipeg : A lot of energy and planning goes into a
wedding, after all it is an investment in a lifetime for two people and the effort
that goes into the project is a part of the realisation of its importance. This is
the first in a series of stories chronicaling a wedding. This first one takes us
from the engagement to eleven months prior to the event.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 If you have even the slightest
bit of curiousity about Saskatchewan you absolutely must have a copy of Bill Barry's
People Places, Contemporary Saskachewan Place Names.
This is truly a useful book with a Saskatchewan attitude and sense of place. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Mom sues RIAA members for racketeering
(PDF) Andrew Orlowski writes for the Register and tells about lawsuits filed
in US courts charging the recording industry of racketeering as they are using tactics
and threats usually associated with organised crime. |

 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.

everyday.- Thursday
February 19, 2004
by : Randy Kubik
Dorchester, Ontario : This is a message from an Ontario political leader who feels
