Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
Telephone abuse is growing as corporations indulge in seeing just how far they can
push people around. If you get a call from a computer that asks you to wait, hang
up. If you get a call from a company telling you they are going play a recorded
message to you, hang up. Do not accept abuse from telephone racket operations. |
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. Back in Tisdale posting today and tomorrow. |

Report
- Tuesday, July 8, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Its been raining at the park and Gerald has been out checking out the surrounding
communities. Besides telling us about a reunion he gives us the details on fishing.

- Hello Mr. Robinson:
Canadian Walter Robinson kisses the Bush Assets
- Tuesday, July 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Many think that just cutting down on the size of government would make things better.
Mario deSantis presents quite a different argument and it is illustrated by a shocking
graph that shows the growth of jobs under the various American presidents in the
past and not since the thirties has the American economy done as poorly as under
George W. Bush.

- Summertime reality TV (Episode
1): Survivor - taxpayers on CCRA Island
- Tuesday, July 8, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
This is an interesting take on the tax situation in Canada, instead of focusing on
the way the Canadian middle class has lost much of its earning power Mr. Robinson
concentrates on the upper and lower scale of the income earners in this country who
now bare the burden of the economy because the once large middle class has been so
greatly reduced.
|
|
- In Search Of Intelligent Life
- Tuesday, July 8, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
There is often cause for us to feel dissolutioned about the way things seem to be
going and this seems to be one of those days when Ron Thornton is having trouble
finding a silver lining.

- Mom, can I borrow
the car
- Tuesday, July 8, 2003
by: Kevin McIntyre
This is one of those events if someone told you about it you would just think they
were pulling your leg but Kevin has documented some "good ole' boy" smokin'
fun at Gronlid last Saturday afternoon. This includes 46 pictures so just click on
the thumbnail images to see the scenes Kevin tells about in the text.

- West Nile Fear
Ver
- Sunday, July 6, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Birds are testing positive as far West as Delorain in Manitoba, it is the season
for a very dangerous virous to move West.

- Bringing administration of
justice into disrepute
- Sunday, July 6, 2003
by: Joe Hueglin
The gun registry legislation has come into effect six days ago and no one can find
value or saftey in the massive amounts of money spent on this exceptionally silly
programme. Joe Hueglin questions the damage this programme is doing to the whole
of Canada's justice system as it devalues both the courts and the respect Canadians
normally demonstrate for the laws of the land.
|
|
- The regressive streamlining administration
of the Insurance Industry
- Sunday, July 6, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
To make up for stock market losses Canada's Insurance industry is cutting service
and raising premiums all a part of their "streamlining" process.

- Duet
- Saturday, July 5, 2003
by: Mark Alan Whittle
A story of a little boy who meets Orca and somewhere their minds and voices met.
This page includes an example of Killer whale singing but requires QuickTime
to be heard.
|
|
- Automated Sprinklers
- Saturday, July 5, 2003
by: Kevin McIntyre
Fidling with sprinklers, getting your feet wet and making a general mess is how I
water the garden but Kevin has put together a system that involves going out on the
deck and selecting the appropriate valves, job done. All for $150.

|
- Paul Martin and Harry Potter
- Friday, July 4, 2003
by: Rudy Fernandes
The man is a Wizard, absolutely no doubt about it as the press and media have fallen
under a spell and the support of terrorist groups, off shore banking and his company's
continued pocket filling at the public's expense all are invisible and ignored.

- Beef about U.S.
beef
- Friday, July 4, 2003
By: Rebecca Gingrich
Here is something you can do, after reading both Rebecca's letter to the ministers
of Agriculture and Health you too might want to make a recommendation of your own.

- 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.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- The Greenwater
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.
