Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Missed it when it was showing in theatres so we rented the last James Bond Movie,
"To die another day", it has a couple of outstanding scenes
but is absolutely the worst Bond movie of all time. |
|
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. |

 Bush&Co's Public Policies:
The Privatization of Justice and Peace- Saturday, June 7, 2003
by: Mario deSatnis
This story and its references discuss the growing awareness by Americans that their
leadership have been misleading them and have been doing so for reasons that are
pretty much "the American way" while other and much more serious issues
have been ignored.

 British Columbia
privatizes the Coquihalla Highway- Saturday, June 7, 2003
by: Mike Townsend
British Columbia has decided to sell or lease its only toll road to raise money.
It is not a popular decision but British Columbia has a rather goofy way of doing
things and outside of the province this does not seem to be surprising.

 Roads not taken- Thursday, June 5, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Given enough time and sufficient roads I have always seemed to have been able to
find a road that will get my vehicle stuck. But today I only show you the roads I
didn't take and drove on. Fifteen pictures.

 The militaristic and statistical tools
of corporative marketeers: the sacking and the sapping of the Fair
Market- Wednesday, June 4, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
It appears as though the war in Iraq was planned long before 9-11 as Vice President
of the United States company, Halliburton, had been given contracts for work there
after the expected war. As in other stories like this we present you with a summary
of the story with the details in the references.

deeper than others- Wednesday, June 4, 2003

 Wascana Geese- Tuesday, June 3, 2003
by: Ole Loberg
We all know that Canada geese are social beings and we have observed how they live
in pairs and feed alternately so one feeds the other stands guard, now we discover
that their ability to work together far exceeds what one would expect of an animal
with the brain the size of a walnut.

 Populism- Monday, June 2, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
This story discusses the roots of Saskatchewan politics which seems to be a total
