Battle moves from the courtroom to your desktop- Tuesday
January 27, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This issue is far greater and more complex
than can be dealt with in a short story on this web site but mid afternoon yesterday
the latest worm "MyDoom" began arriving in our e-mail and it is just pouring
in today. This one is related to the fight for control of computer operating systems
and at the base of it all is the "American way of doing things".

by: Timothy W. Shire

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| Copywrite law, patents, BSE, Free Trade, world peace, it seems there are no topics
that are not somehow involved with the ideological, political and economic struggle
between the inhabitants of earth and the inhabitants of the United States of America.
This struggle will be protracted, get used to it. |

Kevin's find of the day
|
 Lethbridge councillor
public mischief trial postponed. This CBC story reports that Dar Heatherington's
trial has been put off until tomorrow and is expected to last two weeks. |

Ensign Notes

 "lies, damned
lies and statistics"- Monday
January 26, 2004
by: Brian Burchill
Victoria, British Columbia: The Conservative Party of
Canada is now a sad reality. It is now pretending to hold a leadership race with
Stephen Harper, an Ontario loser and rich woman on an ego trip. The way it was created
remains a very sore spot for all but 3.7% of the 60,000 former members of the Progressive
Conservative Party.

 Deflation is a natural phenomenon of the
global market: More emphasis on full employment and purchasing power- Friday
January 23, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This week when the Governor of the Bank of
Canada announced the reduction in the Canadian interest rate he asked Canadian businesses
to "increase the productivity". Indeed, he like so many present day economists
worship a false god called "GDP" and when the Free Market deals them a
natural consequence their response is to fiddle with the economic monster they have
themselves created.

 And the Winner
Is?- Thursday
January 22, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: When September ended hundreds of weeping Tisdale
folks were left without a place for their morning breakfast and coffee as Garry McPeak
closed Hannigans. A search and extensive testing has been carried out and today we
declare a winner.

 One condition
for world social and economic growth: The United Sates must learn from
the principle "give more, take less"- Thursday
January 22, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It is a pretty long stretch to imagine the
United States acting as former Prime Minister Chretien once suggested "be nice".
But this story suggests that the country that most threatens peace on the planet
has to re-evaluate its behaviour if things are going to improve. Martin Luther King
was murdered in that country but he was leading at the time of his death a crusade
to make the changes needed.

January 21, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire

a story. Four images in a Flash presentation with "Al Green's" song "Lean
on me". This page requires QuickTime
for the music to play.

by: Cassandra Shire
Winnipeg: Nutrition, good taste and speed of preparation

January 20, 2004
by: R. W. Shire

 Servant Leadership and Common Sense versus
Selfish Leadership and Specific Clarity: The case of the demented Saskatchewan
Justice- Tuesday
January 20, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The astonishing refusal of the Saskatchewan
Government to accept the overwhelming decision by the court on malicious prosecution
of the Klassen family really calls into question the whole point of government. The
ruling was completely and totally in favour of the Klassen family and the idea of
rule of law should be the guiding principle but apparently there is a lesson to be
learned here.
