Ensign Notes

.Happenings In Tisdale:

Salary for the CEO of the CWB
 
Friday
February 2, 2007
by : Vern Bretin
Leduc Alberta :
Here is an explanation about the paying of a salary to the rreplacement boss at the Canadian Wheat Board. The minister of Agriculture failed to follow the established guidlines for CWB employees and the Board refused to pay the man $30,000 a month.
Potential buyers beware!
 
Friday
February 2, 2007
by : Dale Swirsky
Winnipeg :
You do not have to dig up the past to find the Harper government trashing the whole concept of global warming. In 2006 they dismissed fifteen programmes and decided to set emission targets in 2050.
Its February
 
Thursday
February 1, 2007
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale :
If the months of the year were listed in a preference list number twelve on the list would be February. Even though it is a few days shorter than the rest that doesn't make up for this being the least desireable month of year.
Growing organic
 
Wednesday
January 31, 2007
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale :
Farming for all of my life time has been a marginal business at best and in the last few years most farmers would be happy even to break even. Its time to consider "value added" options and on of those options is proving to be economically viable and certainly a hit in the grocery stores and that is becoming an organic farm operation. Difficult to get into be here is a way of jump starting into this form of agriculture.
Ominous
 
Wednesday
January 31, 2007
by : William Dascavich
Edmonton :
If you saw Anderson Cooper last night or over the past few evenings one wonders what is cooking in the US government. Does anyone remember the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident" which actually never did take place but was the excuse for putting forces on the ground in Viet Nam? Important to note that the image used here was staged for photographers.

Tuesday
January 30, 2007
by : Mike Townsend

Marketing boards on the table when CWB single desk gone?
 
Tuesday
January 30, 2007
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls :
All this time we thought it was idealogy and now Joe has discovered that the campaign to destroy the Canadian Wheat Board is just the boys in Ottawa doing what the boy in Washington wants.
The Greenwater Report
 
Monday
January 29, 2007
by : Gerald Crawford
Scottsdale Arizona :
The Crawfords are on a bus tour of Las Vegas and now in Arizona, from the look of things they are having a great time. Gerald is over eating but taking lots of super pictures.
Attack ads as diversion: A new low!
 
Sunday
January 28, 2007
by : Eugene Parks
Victoria :
The Conservative introduced their attack ads ridiculing Liberal leader Dion. Mr. Parks points out that an election has not even been called and this is a first for a governing party in Canada to develop and use such negative adervertisements.
Minister Strahl's unsubstantiated words
 
Sunday
January 28, 2007
by : joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls :
The minister of agriculture in his campaign to dismantle the Canadian Wheat Board continues to make statements without any substantial backing to support his claims.
Security and Prosperity Partnership
 
Friday
January 26, 2007
by : Connie Fogal
Vancouver :
There is a good chance you have not heard about the SPP, an agreement between big business, the elite leaders and the background folks at the US Whitehouse. Essential its a plan to, without any democratic involvement, to slap all of North American into a single entity. This story is intended to give you the basics of the agreement which is well along its way.

by : Timothy W. Shire

Tisdale's Elementary School principal reports that the school is not abandoning its students and the snow has been cleaned up.
"New Government's" limited perspective
 
Tuesday
January 23, 2007
by : Eugene Parks
Victoria BC :
If one comes from Alberta it is reasonable to think of your country only in Alberta terms but to be Prime Minister of the country requires a much broader and more flexible perspective.
Leaking Dodge SX2.0
 
Tuesday
January 23, 2007
by : Christine Gerry
Vancouver :
Back in 2002 this web site did a review positively praising the Dodge SX2.0. This reader tells how she likes the car but with each rain the passenger side fills up with water. She would like some suggestions as to what car of similar price would be a good replacement.

Monday
January 22, 2007
by : Stu Innes
Regina :

Make that a recommendation
 
Thursday
January 18, 2007
by : Timothy W. Shirre
Tisdale :
Notice how that level of frustration seems to build just below the surface all of the time, here is a simple formula to make you feel just a bit better about the things over which you have no control.

Wednesday
January 17, 2007
by : Helen Carson
Crooked River :
Though this is a common little bird in south eastern Saskatchewan it does not hang around in the winter but head off to a better climate for the winter.
Claims that "we've changed", real or rhetoric?
 
Tuesday
January 16, 2007
by : Brian Marlatt
White Rock BC :
The Harper record on the environment is not good and we are now to believe that they have changed, this will require some evidence.
