Standards- Saturday, March 1, 2003

 Bush's absurd
war against Iraq- Friday, February 28, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Carolyn Parrish said words that she later apologised for but what the US president
wants to do is not something that afterward you can say "oh sorry about that".
Mario deSantis has brought us some compelling thoughts on this issue and as usual
he accompanies his remarks with six references that need to be considered as we consider
what Americans themselves are saying about the whole situation.

 Budget 2003: Chrétien
is hopefully the last of the big time spenders- Tuesday, February 25, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Last week there was considerable shouting about the 2003 budget now its time to think
it over and look carefully at what the government plans to do with the taxes for
the next five years. Walter Robinson is fairly critical of a government which in
the past has paid little attention to what it does with its money. This story has
links to the complete budget.

 Oh, what a friend we have
in Dion- Monday, February 24, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Last week the federal minister of intergovernmental affairs and the premier of Alberta
exchanged letters and barbs as Alberta separatism is now being identified by the
federal government that rarely looks West of Hull River. Ron Thornton takes a serious
tongue in cheek look at the issue and for those of us who are not Albertans this
is a chilling discussion.
