Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 The components in modern vehicles are
excellent, this spark plug has gone 257,000 Km. But they don't last forever and will
give better fuel economy and performance if replaced. |

Kevin's find of the day

 Iraqis Paying 5 Cents a Gallon
for Gas (pdf) This associated press story
by Jim Krane was carried in dozens of papers tells of the way the US is moving gasoline
into Iraq costing US tax payers $1.50 a gallon and it is sold to the Iraqis at 5¢.
This is producing a false economy expected to backfire on the US when prices return
to normal. |

 So,
what are the options?- Sunday

 PC party on Dartmouth-Cole
Harbour ballot- Sunday
June 6, 2004
by : Tracy Parsons
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
: The take over of the Progressive Conservative party by the Canadian Alliance has
not gone smoothly as almost half of the original Progressive Conservative party have
no stomach for the Alberta lead and separatist focused party. So some have struck
out on their own and Tracy Parsons is on the Dartmouth ballot as a PC.

Baltimore Oriole- Sunday
June 6, 2004
by : Helen Carson

 Fear
Over What Could Be Over What Already Is- Sunday
June 6, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : The

lack of respect for the tax payer and the Conservative party carrying with it baggage
from its past forms such as abortion, death penalty and weakening the central government
of the country.

June 6, 2004

you see where you are going, are you over driving your lights at night? Check and

 Just
maybe there will be a summer- Tuesday
June 1, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The
clouds cleared away and its 23ºC what more is there to say. With a teeny weeny
breeze and a sky that speaks of a storm moving away, just maybe, June is busting out all over.

 Time
to give up- Tuesday
June 1, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Grass
will grow almost anywhere but there are limits as to how much traffic it can take.
At some point you have to make the decision, if its not growing, maybe its time to
replace it.

 Elections Canada
Letter Registering PC Party On the Ballot- Tuesday
June 1, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario
: From the shambles of the merger between the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive
Conservative Party of Canada there has developed some serious and deep felt feelings.
It was not a merger but a decietful take over and the resulting party does not represent
most of the supporters of either of the parties involved but is really a construct
of the leader of that party. So now another party has emerged to try to represent
the 12% of Canadian voters who are not Liberal, NDP or neoconservatives.

 Green
Once More- Monday

 Firewalls- Monday
May 31, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : Deputy
Prime Minister Anne McLellan pointed out the obvious that Conservative leader Stephen
Harper was an avowed Alberta Separatist. Ron Thornton makes the point that indeed
all Harper is advocating what Ontario and Quebec already have and that is their own
brand of self serving separatism and it only seems fair that Alberta be like them.
