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. Metal bird breakfast today. |

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

Given enough time and sufficient roads I have always seemed to have been able to

 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.

 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
