Tim's Tip of the Day

Ensign Notes

.Happenings In Tisdale:

Conservative Party of Canada must be held accountable
 
Wednesday
January 10, 2007
by : Eugene Parks
Victoria BC :
The Conservative Party is doing fast paperwork with receipts to cover up their violations of their own Accountability Act.
Thoughts on the Canadian Federal Principle applied in the Context of Contemporary Debate
 
Wednesday
January 10, 2007
by : Brian Marlatt
White Rock BC :
Canada is not a country made of ten sovereign states but was modelled on the United Kingdom when the United States were in the midst of a civil war. This story helps to explain what we are and why Mr. Harper has it wrong.
NorthEast SaniSport / Inside Golf
 
Tuesday
January 9, 2007
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale :
A new sports business has opened in the Tisdale Mall as Yves Ollivier offers golf lessons, an indoor driving range and a sports equipment cleaning facility.
Kingsley resignation
 
Tuesday
January 9, 2007
by : Brian Marlatt
White Rock BC :
Canada's chief electoral officier has quit and there has been much speculation that his leaving of the position was not of his own choosing.
The Greenwater Report
 
Monday
January 8, 2007
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park :
Mild weather and the Cove has closed denying fuel and coffee for park regulars and visitors.
What is expected of the new Wheat Board CEO
 
Monday
January 8, 2007
by : Henry Neufeld
Waldeck :
The Federal Minister of Agriculture fired the head of the Canadian Wheat Board what might the possible directives be for his replacement?
Race is not the issue. Honouring contracts is
 
Monday
January 8, 2007
by : Eugene Parks
Victoria BC :
A deal was made more than a century ago where by West Coast First Nations traded land for the right to harvest commerical fisheries. The Harper government does not want to honour the deal.
The Greenwater Report
 
Wednesday
January 3, 2007
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park :
Lots of people at the park enjoying the outstanding weather. Gerald gives us an update on snowmobile trails and ice fishing.
No smoke: grain burner
 
Wednesday
January 3, 2007
by : Edwin Wallace
Success :
The advancement of technology is not dependent upon some miracles of modern science but often upon putting the stuff about us into new applications. We have seen and reported on grain burning stoves here before but this one is a giant leap up as it vapourises the fuel dishing out a torch of flame.
The year the tail wags the dog
 
Saturday
December 30, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Winnipeg :
Its time to once again contemplate the possibllities for a new year. Is 2007 the year we take the dog for a walk or is it the year that we follow along to see where the dog wants to go. Here is this year's New Year's predictions.
Cleaning switches
 
Sunday
December 24, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale :
Life goes on and on and on as we all go about our business and shape our priorities the basics still have to be covered. The dishes need to be washed, the laundry done and when necessary the switches need to be cleaned. Speical holidays, family events and celebrations notwithstanding life still must fit into the sometimes whirlwind of everyday events. Christmas is special but it is also a part of every year events it is part of all that we do and fits into all of the details that make up the fabric of our lives. Merry Christmas everyone!
There's a better way to reform the senate
 
Sunday
December 24, 2006
by : Ross Bateman
Langton, Ontario :
The formula the federal government has recently outlined to reform the senate is not going to do service to Canadians in general as it will only further fractionate the country and decentralise all forms of government. Airtist Ross Bateman has a better idea.
Wise politics to obtain a coveted majority?
 
Thursday
December 21, 2006
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls :
Farmers elected four out of five directors to support single desk marketing at the Canadian Wheat Board but the minister of agriculturre went ahead and firred the CEO. So much for respecting the majority.
Thomas Saf-T-Liner
 
Wednesday
December 20, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire

Tuesday
December 19, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
LaRonge :
A remarkable trading post where furs are sold and goods received in trade or a place where you can purchase just about anything you might need while living in northern Saskatchewan. Our story features some the outstanding art available.
Greenwater Report
 
Tuesday
December 19, 2006
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park :
Looks like there is peace at the park as everyone is sorting out their Christmas and New Year plans. The Cove has a new manager and the Greenwater report will take a break over the holidays.
Red Chamber rehab
 
Tuesday
December 19, 2006
by : Robert Ede
Richmond Hill, Ontario :
For most Canadians those chapters in Canadian studies they took in grade twelve were just a lot of mumbo jumbo and sadly most people paid little attention to the actual nature of Canada's constitution and the way it has dynamically evolved. Mr. Ede takes a shot at helping us to put our awareness back on track.
Senate will cease to be a revising chamber
 
Tuesday
December 19, 2006
by : Brian Marlatt
White Rock B.C. :
From the west coast we have a similar complaint that the Harper government is ignorant of the basic concepts of the Canadian form of government and their attempts to make improvements are a real danger to the stability and sovereignty of the country.
A different meaning
 
Tuesday
December 19, 2006
by : Edwin Wallace
Success :
Going ahead with a barley vote the minister of Agriculture has called a "woe" to action on wheat at the Canadian Wheat Board. Mr. Wallace suspects that the Harper bunch have spotted some reasons to slow things down.

That December look
 
Friday
December 15, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale :
The sun is low on the horizon and the horizon seems far away as the writer reflects on the worsening state of life in rural Saskatchewan. Perhaps its just the time of year, its all about the way you look at things.
