- Gazebo
- Thursday, July 3, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
A vast expanse of lawn may have some interest but its function is dubious. A Quill
Lake family have a solution put a point of interest on that big lawn, something that
will be pleasing to the eye and something that invites involvement.

Ensign Notes
|
| Summer holidays: That's right, 2003 is the first year since 1991 that we have had
a chance to take a holiday. During June, July and the first two weeks of August we
will have some intermittant days when Ensign will not post. Our plan is to do some
tripping and camping here in Saskatchewan. Our holiday continues as we are posting
from Winnipeg today and tomorrow. My family and I wish to extend our sympathy to
Mario deSantis and his family upon the loss of his mother this past week. |

 Is Bush not technically untrue, or is
he just a liar? - Thursday, July 3, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The references on this story indicate the extent to which journalists and doubters
have gone to realise the fabrication of Iraq evidence of weapons of mass destruction.

 A week of taxing news for
working stiffs- Thursday, July 3, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
While we hear of wild expense account spending, Manley tells us about the budget
surplus despite the "perfect storm" and then we discover Tax Freedom day
is on day later than last year.

report- Monday, June 30, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Gerald takes a trip and takes us along with him to share in the wonders of Central
Saskatchewan.

 Albert Street
Bridge Crash- Thursday, June 26, 2003
by: Stu Innes
Even at the modest speeds that occur in city traffic when things come apart the results
can be really rough. This incident occurred Tuesday afternoon in Regina involving
an SUV, a van, a taxi and a truck pulling a trailer.

 Radwanski out
of the frypan into the fire- Thursday, June 26, 2003
by: Ken Wilson
What's this our hero George, defender of the privacy of all needed to be a private
as possible as Ken Wilson asks some serious questions about this departed civil servant.

 America is experiencing a big economic
bubble ready to deflate: The Free Market competition for grabbing scarcer
resources- Thursday, June 26, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The American economy accounts for fifth of all world trade and it is in a serious
mess with a growing deficit, a trade deficit and mounting debt from its war adventures.
It would be nice if this were their problem but unfortunately because of the dominance
of their imposition of their system on the rest of the world we all will share in
their catastrophic decline.

 On his watch- Thursday, June 26, 2003
by: Mike Reilly
Radwanski appears to have been quite a guy but to heap blame on him is just too easy
when we realise that he was appointed by someone and all of his misspent money had
to come from some where. Mike Reilly lays some of the blame with Paul Martin.

 Batoche Once More- Wednesday, June 25, 2003
by: Timothy & Judy Shire
An opportunity to share a visit to the Batoche Historical Park with the grade eight
and nine students from Kelliher let us see the site and all that it symbolises. These
pictures tell the story. This story includes 71 pictures and a 1MB QuickTime VR.

 The Kamsack conundrum- Tuesday, June 24, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Just as many, perhaps more people yet how do you attract business and young people
to a small Saskatchewan town, even one with such a rich tradition in history and
culture.

 The Greenwater
Report- Monday, June 23, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Time to catch up on happenings at the park as school groups have been holding their
outings, fishing stories, neighbours come and go as life goes on at one of Saskatchewan's
busiest parks.

 A tax cut for all Canadians- Monday, June 23, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Good for all Canadians, fair and reasonable the best thing that could be done for
the Canadian tax payer is increase the person exemption on Income tax.

 The Privatization of the Rule of Law:
The Immunity Legislations for tycoon Berlusconi and hegemonic America- Monday, June 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
It is disturbing indeed to find out that the Italian Premier merely passes a law
to prevent his conviction of corruption but even more disturbing that the United
States is forcing nations around the world to sign agreements exempting Americans
from War Crimes. Looks like Hitler and Musolini would have been better off to have
had better lawyers.

 "Psst, Need
a new ship for your fleet?"- Monday, June 23, 2003
by: Rebecca Gingrich
Being a wealthy ship owner and claiming that it is in a "blind trust" is
just not going to work. Paul Martin may become the leader of the Liberal Party because
he has bought and paid for its membership but Canadian voters are unlikely to elect
someone who does his banking off shore and has his corporate hand out for corporate
welfare.

 Space Ship clouds- Sunday, June 22, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
"A bit breezing" is how most Saskatchewan people would have described the
gale force winds that dashed across the province Thursday.
