 Robert McAdam
1915 - 2004
- Thursday
March 11, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : At eight-nine we all know that living this
long is a remarkable achievement and this man, former Anglican priest here in Tisdale
has been an important part of this community since arriving here in 1968. This story
was originally done following an interview with Rev. McAdam in April of 2002. When
he read the piece over he was uncomfortable with the way I had reported some of his
remarks particularly those that related to the Catholic church so I removed the article
from Ensign at the time but the story reflected our discussion that
Tuesday morning two years ago and I think sheds a lot of light on the active mind
and conscientious spirit of this fine man.

by : Mario deSantis

Kerry was overheard muttering that Bush and his associates were crooked and scary.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 A telophoto lens does not distort reality but rather brings into focus
the complexity of life and events. We need very much to realise that all things are
in context and tied together, from the salt shaker to the playground and a young
person applying for a job all things existing in relationship to one another. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 McDonald's Salad has more fat than Cheeseburger
(PDF) This Reuters story reports on a set of tests carried
out that discovered the dressings used by McDonalds have 64% more fat than cheeseburger
on their menu. |

 The Bush administration breaks international
laws: First with the war against Iraq and now with the ousting of Haitian
President Aristide- Wednesday
March 10, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The president of Haiti says he was forced out of
office by the Americans and the US Secretary of State Colin Powell says he wasn't
but then Mr. Powell thinks every truck in pre-war Iraq was a weapons factory. International
law is real but the United States has chosen over and over to ignore any responsibility
to the world and how things are legally done.

 The questionable
use of 9/11 images in Bush’s TV ads: Was 9/11 luck or Bush’s No Fault
Government?- Friday
March 5, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Though many question the appropriate use of
images from the 9/11 tragedy it is far more disconcerting to take into account the
actions of the US government that may or may not have been linked to the event. The
commission looking into the event is not getting much administrative cooperation
and there may be a good reason for that.
