Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 This the season of the sky monsters.
Living, devouring, water based creatures, that can devastate and destroy without
any form of consciousness. Do not fear these monsters, but give them the respect
they are due and when necessary, hide. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Elton attacks
'censorship' in US (PDF)
Sir Elton John is doing a series of concerts in the United States and has taken this
opportunity to publicly condemn the current repressive attitude in the American music
world. Siting that protest music has been an American tradition but dissent is no
longer tolerated. Reported by the BBC. |

 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.

 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

 The
Answer Is In the Senate, But No One In The East
Is Asking The Question- Wednesday
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 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.
