 The
Election Result Was Predicted Five Years Ago- Thursday
July 15, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : The
2004 election results came as no surprise to Ron Thornton as he had predicted this
sort of results five years earlier. The math just doesn't work with the problem because
it is not a mathematical problem. There are basic differences between the former
Progressive Conservatives and the Reformers who more recently called themselves Canadian
Alliance.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Each day is a bridge from yesterday to tomorrow but
we often forget that each crossing is one way, no two bridges are the same and each
one is its own special experience. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 EB Campbell
dam is no longer structurally sound. It is severely compromised with two significant
cracks along the steel I beams in the spillway. Cumberland House is not under
an evacuation order, they'd never make the bridge. They have been told if the phone
rings drop your gear and get inland *now*. Weyerhauser was not even permitted
to drive empty log trucks over the dam. They had to build a steel platform over the
structure to remove their wood stock last winter. Rumor is they'll nearly drain the
lake this fall, build a dam in front of the dam, reroute the river around it and
rebuild the spillway. If your power goes off and you feel the ground rumble a bit,
SaskPower is having a bad day :) -- Oh yeah, big storm in Edmonton,
massive water surge coming down the Saskatchewan! |

 It was all avoidable- Wednesday
July 14, 2004
by : Kevin McIntyre
Arborfield :
It seems that we are so often inclined to describe an incident as an accident when
it just may be that a sequence of circumstances and conditions are bound to produce
a negative result. In this story our writer does not have first hand infromation
on this specific event but as a former farm boy and shareholder in a local dehydration
plant his is familiar with the equipment and procedures that cost a young man his
life.

the sky scenes from last Thursday until this morning.

 Already the sleaze
starts leaking out- Thursday
July 8, 2004
by : Rebecca Gingrich

Answer Is In the Senate, But No One In The East

July 7, 2004
by : Ron thornton
Edmonton : Many
of the age old solutions that have been put forward to produce some equity and fairness
in the way Canada is governed include such things as free votes in parliament and

 In the cold light
of dawn- Wednesday
July 7, 2004
by : David Orchard
Borden : It didn't
work, the PC party was destroyed so that the right could be united and Canadians
said "no". The Liberals handed the election to the opposition on a platter
but because of the ideological hardline right Harper and his gang did no better than
in the past.
|

 Reform
failed again- Tuesday
July 6, 2004
by : Brian Marlatt
Whiterock B.C.

 Messages
from France, sixty years after "D" Day- Thursday
July 1, 2004
by: Bernard de Maussion
Mondeville, France
: When Canadian armed forces landed on Juno and Sword beach in Normandy in 1944 they
made history, many of them died but through their efforts the German occupation forces
was hurled back into the low countries. The people of France remember that sacrifice
and Bernard de Maussion has sent us eleven local newspaper clippings telling of "D"
Day celebrations last month.

June 30, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

Centre and the first floor of the new condominium is taking shape on the southeast
corner. There goes the neighbourhood! This story includes a QuickTime VR panorama
