Tim's Tip of the Day

High school graduation is a very big deal, not just a right of passage for the graduating student but a point of passage for a parent as well as we can mark our progress through life with each successive rite of passage.

Kevin's find of the day

Here is a set of very interesting tables that describe the tax situation for Canadians in general and province by province.

Friday

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.

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.
