Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 The kind of movie to entertain in the
spirit of movies of the 1950s we enjoyed Jackie Chan in the Disney
movie Around the World in 80 Days. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Bush in 30 seconds is a web site with 150 commercials attacking the Bush administration.
This was a contest by "MoveOn.org" and the commercials are amazing. |

 Don Hovdebo,
only candidate to attend all candidate's forum Thursday night- Friday
June 25, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The
Chamber of Commerce All Candidate's forum was cancelled, apparently because a candidate
could not attend but like myself and a dozen or so others Don Hovdobo was unaware
of the cancellation until he got to the RECPLex last night. Find out what
he has to say about equallisation payments and agricutlure in the QuickTime
video clip (1.7MB) in this story.

June 25, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : The creek is running as deer and other animals of the woods make
their presence known. Gerald's thinking about getting his boat in the water but that
snow last week has had slowing effect on getting the boat launched.

 A question to
be asked and answered- Friday
June 25, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls
: The Conservatives and their leader have indicated that they would like to see more
foreign investment. Perhaps we have heard this line before.

 This
Is One Orchard That Seems To Bare Rotten Fruit- Friday
June 25, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : In
this article Ron Thornton rebuts an earlier article by David Orchard and in these
two positions we can see the reflection of the political climate of the United States.
Polarisation is by far the most dangerous thing our society. From their perspective
both Mr. Orchard and Mr. Thornton see the issues.

 The untouched
issue- Friday
June 25, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls

seen anything yet as the Conservative leader is determined to merge once more.

by : Timothy W. Shire

went to Europe and Asia in two world wars, many did not come back. This is the story

in his home town.

June 19, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : The
issues make the difference for this writer as he mulls over the options he decides
that his religious convictions and political beliefs come out on top and he has made
his decision.

 Why
I'm not voting Conservative- Saturday
June 19, 2004
by : Patricia Green
The real threat of a conservative victory has many Canadians and non-Canadians as
well very worried. The very fabric of the country is threatened simply because we
are grossly aware of the way things have gone in the United States with this form
of government policy and of course the last Conservative government did so much damage
that our fate as a country may already be doomed.

 Thanks,
but no thanks- Saturday
June 19, 2004
by : Susan Walsh
Mississauga, Ontario
: The Conservative Party bulled its way into existance by bribing the PC leader Peter
MacKay, paying off his campaign debts and it boldly continues to assert that the
whole take over was fair and legal. It has now issued membership cards to members
of the PC party further antagonising already bad feelings.

 Say it in an
image- Saturday
June 19, 2004
by : Antoinette Martens
Saskatoon : As long as there has been politics there have been political cartoons.
Often these works say far more than the written word as images have a different address
in one's intellect. On this site we have taken some liberty in the past with images
but always in the electronic format, these are done the traditional way.

 Bush’s America: lack of moral grounds and consequential violence- Saturday
June 19, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : It might be called stirring the pot as the President of the United States
desperately wants to hold on to his role. It is neglegent to blame he alone for the
woes of America for indeed his followers must themselves accept responsiblity for
a never ending ever escallating cycle of violence. These people seem bent on murder
and destruction and they are succeeding.

 The prime directive- Saturday
June 19, 2004
by : Kevin McIntyre
Carrot River
: The television science fiction show Star Trek, captured the imagination
and the intellectual curiousity of millions because much of the underlying principles
were worked out over the years examining just what exactly does it mean to be human.
Kevin explores one of the most fundamental principles worked out in the show and
gives us reason to consider it application in our present day world.

 Winnipeg's
Special Place: The Forks- Wednesday
June 16, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Winnipeg : The
market-place, cultural centre, community meeting place, all of that and then some.
Winnipeg's Forks is one of the most interesting and stimulating place I know of and
almost suggests that we should take a very long look not only what it is but what
it does in terms of bringing a community together. This story has some pictures that
show the way it looks now and includes a QuickTime VR panorama (2.4MB) of the whole
overview of the scene.

 The
Great Sandhills mistake- Wednesday
June 16, 2004
by : Edwin Wallace
Success : Mr.
Wallace is a bit cranky about the recent decision by the Saskatchewan government
to increase the amount of drilling for natural gas in the Great Sandhills area of
western Saskatchewan. Environmentalists and scientists appear to agree on the ecological
mistake of this decision.
