Boil Water order for Tisdale- Wednesday
January 14, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Tuesday morning town waterworks people discovered
a chlorination unit on a well did not kick in and untreated water had pumped into
the system over night. As a result the boil water warning was issued and will not
be lifted until chlorine levels rise throughout the town water system.

 Despotism and the hypocrisy of the top
1% class: A game of lies at the expense of people at large- Wednesday
January 14, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story is just a brief summary of the research
that went into its conclusions. It is clear that there is something very rotten in
the republic to the South of us as the wealth of that nation is consolidating in
only the smallest minority of people. This is not just an American problem because
a similar trend is occuring here, it is simply unavoidable because of the integrated
economy that has evolved.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| If you are a snow mobiler here is a US web
site on the topic. Now here is an interesting
thing seen on a Middle East web site. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 EBay pulls plug on auction of
West Virginia. An interesting way to poke fun at the large deficit that the
state is running as someone put the state up for sale on EBay. |

Ensign Notes
|

planning the coming summer holidays. "Fisk alert, the Fisks are planning

 Not a Nieuport
but a Camel- Tuesday
January 13, 2003
by: Brian D. Marlatt
White Rock, B.C. : Yes I should have known two guns
instead of one. Brian gives us some details on one of the most outstanding fighters
in history and built by a company that continues to produce outstanding aircraft
to this very day.

 Catch 22 for the
Tories- Tuesday
January 13, 2004
by: Brad Thomson
Ottawa : Brad wrote this story on December 31, 2003
but I was unable to post it until today and it seems like the perfect time to do
so with Peter MacKay announcing this morning that he is unable to participate in
the contest for leadership of the newly merged Conservative Party. But Brad's
is not the last word on this subject as we post two other stories on the same topic
one by Joe Heuglin and the other by Bruce Federick.

 The hypocrisy
of conventional economic gurus: Exporting America and combating terrorism- Tuesday
January 13, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story and its wealth of references point
out the preculiar and conflicting conclusions that the economic gurus have drawn
about the negative economic conditions that are engulfing the world as a result of
the selfish behaviour of the United States.

 PC party loyalists reconstitute
the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada- Tuesday
January 13, 2004
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: This news release came out last Friday and unfortunately we were unable
to post at that time but with MacKays announcement not to run for leadership of the
Conservative Party this story takes on a new meaning and has some long reaching consequences
in the coming spring election.

 The Greenwater Report- Monday
January 12, 2004
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: We did not have a picture
to go with last week's Greenwater report so today's report includes both this week's
report and last week's
column. Looks like Gerald is coping pretty well with the snowfall yesterday and
Saturday night.

 The Scandal of the Century:
Saskatchewan Authorities found guilty of malicious prosecution- Monday,
January 12, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The trial is over and the judge has ruled that
the prosecutor, the police investigator and a therapist all worked together to maliciously
prosecute a number of people sending one person to jail for a crime that not only
did the accused not committ but a crime that never ever occurred. This story gives
some insight into the thoughts that went into the judge's decision.

 John would have
liked it- Wednesday
January 10, 2004
Saskatoon: On Sunday we were at the John Diefenbaker
airport in Saskatoon. Though Saskatoon has every reason to be proud of the renovated
city owned facility I am certain the old guy would be so pleased to have his name
on this portal. This story includes a QuickTime VR of the inside of the airport.

from here- Thursday
January 1, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Yes its time once again to gaze deeply into
the salad bowl and come up with some insights into the new year.

 Europe and Italy- Wednesday
December 31, 2003
From: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Mario is a regular serious contributor to this
site and today he is bringing us a little humor. We all know how intense Mario and
his fellow country-men can get but it is equally true that a fine sense of the ideosyncracies
of Italians and their way of life.

 New Advents Facing
a New Year- Tuesday
December 30, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: The new year is filled with adventure for
those who follow and support politics in this fair land. The new Conservative Party
is anointing Stephen Harper and the new prime minister will send us all to the polls
in the spring. Ah! just the winter to get through.
