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. If you see something you want to comment
about, get your comments in to share with
others. |

 While Harper does the talking,
MacKay does the walking.- Wednesday, June 11, 2003
by: Mike Reilly
The Canadian political scene is substantially changed with the election of Peter
MacKay as leader of the Progressive Conservative after having agreeing not to make
a deal with the Canadian Alliance. Alliance leader Stephen Harper sees his Alberta
party as becoming nationally irrelevant.

 Camouflaging Racism
in Saskatchewan and in the Saskatoon Police Association- Tuesday, June 10, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Racism is an ugly thing but we are not going to make any progress with it as long
as we done come out and deal with the issue. Police Chief Sabo has acknowledged that
two decades ago a least one Saskatoon police officer was reprimanded for leaving
a woman out on the city's outskirts to die, the police association has proclaimed
their lack of confidence in him. There are games being played here and its time to
call it what it really is.

 Flushing Out Yet Another Vision
Of Senate Reform- Tuesday, June 10, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
A truly lame idea for reforming the senate has come from Margret Kopala, a one time
reformer and now a Canadian Alliance hopeful who thinks that it would be nice for
the provincial governments to look after senate appointments.

 The Greenwater
report- Monday, June 9, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Gerald's first grand child got married this past weekend. But Gerald has time to
tell us about the wildlife at the park. Then he tells us about a going away party.

 Entitlement Program Report- Monday, June 9, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Our annual budget continues to grow each year with almost 1/5th of it going to pay
interest on the national debt. Essentially we have to sort out expenditures and the
place to start is reform of Employment Insurance.

 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.
