January cold snap
Friday
January 18, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: It has been a mild winter so far this season so the -30º this morning with its stiff north wind felt appallingly cold. But the facts of the matter are clear each day we get just a bit more sunlight as we head toward late winter and in a short while spring once more.

Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day


Katrina victim sues U.S. for $3 quadrillion
Most of the damage to New Orleans was caused by the US Corp of Engineer's levies failing so it seems only just that the victims are seeking compensation from them for the damages.

Monday
January 14, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford

Saskatchewan labour laws one sided
Monday
January 14, 2008
by: Henry Neufeld
Waldeck: The Saskatchewan Government has introduced legislation to make unionisation of a business extremely difficult stacking the deck solidly to favour anti-union corporations who are applauding the legislation.

January 14, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford

Grain blocks rolling
Friday
January 11, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire

by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Joan Beatty is a natural for the massive northern riding that is about half the land mass of Saskatchewan but she is a sitting NDP member of the legislature and the Liberal riding association is holding an emergency meeting Saturday to plan their own nominating convention for the riding. So much of Dion's leadership.
Greek Orthodox Christmas Day
Monday
January 7, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: School resumes today, the temperature is above average and we are all settled into the new year although it is still a chore to think of this as 2008.
Leadership-prinzip replacing democracy in Canadian politics

by: Joe Hueglin
