Looks like a lamb to me
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Since February 7 it is just another day of overcast skies. Today there was a little snow this morning to break up the monotony of the dull sky but the temperature stayed above -5º all day, that pretty much means that March has once again come in like a lamb.

Tim's Tip of the Day

If you don't know who sent you an attachment, don't open it. Yet another barrage of poison mail is occuring with unusual attachments. Open one of those things on a Windows computer and you are in deep trouble.

Kevin's find of the day

666 appears on some 'Passion' tickets (PDF) This Associated Press story was carried on ABC news and tells of a George movie theatre who's computer system put the digits "666" on each patron's ticket stub. The sign of the "beast" and in the Bible belt definitely a scary situation.

Ensign Notes

Very happy to be able to work on today's posting after taking a fall on ice on our driveway, I am considering bringing a suit against the owner.


Little promise in the Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilisation Programme
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : George Hickie
Waldron : It is ironic that Agriculture Canada put a rainbow on their page explaining a programme that is pure myth. There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and for Saskatchewan agriculture there isn't even a pot to . . . Things are grim and the nature of federal politics suggests that myths are all that remain.

Congratulations
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : Cassandra Shire
Winnipeg : Entertainer Rosie O'Donelle learned the hard way about the down side of not being married when she was involved in a nasty lawsuit with her magazine publisher. Her spouse for many years was forced to give testamony since she was not married to Rosie.

Crash report
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Bad things are when you have regrettable consequences, good things are when you screw up and avoid regrettable consequences.

Motorised sliding
Sunday
February 29, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : For the past week we have had warm temperatures, low ceilings and sometimes fog. On Wednesday I spotted these young people enjoying themselves in the old primary school playground then two adults doing the same leaving town.

The Orwellian state of Newspeak’s Doubleplusgood:The intersection of the privatised Rule of Law and Terrorism
Sunday
February 29, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The black art of deception takes many forms and it seems that trimming and crafting the terms used to describe things and events has taken the lead in this never ending struggle to keep ahead of the truth. No part of a society is left unaffected when the words are the weapons.

Viva Valdy Live at Last and other stuff
Sunday
February 29, 2004
by : Donna Bromm
Tisdale : Friday night Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard performed for an appreciative audience here is what the concert was like.

Download successful
Saturday
February 28, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Last night's snowfall turned out to be about eight inches or so on our steps. It is damp and a nuisance but will add to this year's spring run off, at least that's what we are all telling ourselves as we shoveled it off sidewalks and driveways.

Governor General's Purpose, Mandate, Benefits, Costs and Constitution
Saturday
February 28, 2004
by : Robert Ede
Richmond Hill, Ontario : Most Canadians have little opportunity to understand the Canadian Constitution because oddly enough it is rarely covered in Canadian school courses. Mr. Ede is not a fan of the structure of Canadian government so it is important for you to find out what he objects to and consider for yourself the merits of this, rather than the US style republican form of government.

Americans are all Protectionists Now
Saturday
February 28, 2004
by : Mark Weisbrot
Washington : The past thirty years have seen the greatest redistribution of wealth in American history as the median wage gained 7% and the over all income has risen by 85%. This article points out the obvious and that is that rich folks are definitely for Global economy and free trade because it enhances their income as they are protected.

CanadaLife and the Royal Bank of Canada stealing from honest people like me
Saturday
February 28, 2004
by : Eric deSantis
Saskatoon : We have all had these phone calls "free for the first two months" that will be just a little added protection for you. Most of us say "no". But what if you say no and they just go ahead and clip your account anyway? The Royal has made off with $319.50 from a college student claiming its his fault because he didn't notice they were stealing from him. Their claim that they didn't steal because they weren't caught makes you wonder about the ethics of Canada's largest bank.

Is this the one to wrap up of the season, or . . .is this the opener of the season wrap up?
Friday
February 27, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Just under a block of visibility, wet snow falling with a temperature of -2 and about ten knots of wind from the North. Lovely, we expect to see about 15cm of snow out of this and highways are all clear though the visibility is troublesome with a weather warning still in effect at 5:00 when these pictures were taken.

Agratime
Friday
February 27, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Weekes : As the temperature edges upward the thoughts of everyone in this part of the world move toward the primary industry. Farmers are moving their grain to the terminals and it is definitely time to talk about farm business.

Now the question is, will they make it in time?
Thursday
February 26, 2004
by : R. W. Shire
Regina : The work in Wascana Lake is proceeding around the clock with it taking just over a minute to fill up another big truck but the sidewalk supertendents are discussing how the project will deal with spring approaching early.

Dream Weekend Hockey Tournament Scheduled for February 27-28
Thursday
February 26, 2004
by : Ken Jones
Regina : A special hockey tournament for the kids who usually play on Regina's outdoor arenas move indoors for this weekend's indoor tournament.

Parkland Photography Club February 2004
Thursday
February 26, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : This month's theme is "partners" as the club works on being involved in various provincial competitions.

Ethics like charity begin at home! David Orchard tells the Conservative party of Canada
Thursday
February 26, 2004
by : Rose-Marie Larson
Ottawa : The rules have been broken by the Conservative party which is not living up to agreements made during the Progressive Conservative leadership race and David Orchard is forced to sue.

Its not easy being mean
Wednesday
February 25, 2004
by : Judy Shire
La Ronge : The sky in this northern community is often quite different from what we see only a few hours South. The spindly ragged trees are the northern imitation for palm trees and just as exotic.

Going to the Chapel . . . part I
Wednesday
February 25, 2004
by : Cassandra Shire
Winnipeg : A lot of energy and planning goes into a wedding, after all it is an investment in a lifetime for two people and the effort that goes into the project is a part of the realisation of its importance. This is the first in a series of stories chronicaling a wedding. This first one takes us from the engagement to eight months prior to the event.

Lunch in Naicam
Wednesday
February 25, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Naicam : Here is a tip on a good place to find a solid meal in Naicam. Monday was a good day for this Englishman after a hearty beef lunch at the Home Quarter.

Making the best of a snow filled yard
Tuesday
February 24, 2004
by: Matthew Shire
Gravelbourg : Last Thursday we saw the snow piled high in the LaRochelle yard near Gravelbourg, on Saturday the family all went out and played on the giant drifts, slide down them and built a tunnel.
