Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 As I understand it domestic cats seem to have come into being during the
time of the Pharohs of Egypt. Now since the Egyptians have been linked to aliens
perhaps, and this would explain a lot, perhaps cats are aliens. |

 Sounds like Canada C' est comme Canada- Thursday
March 18, 2004
by : Brian Marlatt
White Rock B.C. : Far more than most of us imagine,
Canada has a rich and complex heritage with both language and culture combined to
create a place that is much more than what we might define in a political speech.

 Spanish voters

March 18, 2004

 Electrical- Wednesday
March 17, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Since automobile manufacturers have devoted
so much of the control of modern vehicles to computer controlled curcuits making
a minor accessory addition is sometimes a rather complex process. This story includes
a 580K QuickTime VR.

 The Queen's Right
to Rule- Wednesday
March 17, 2004
by : Philip Benwell
Sydney, NSW, Australia : Though we have had a little flap over the Governor Generals
expenses Canadians in general accept the idea of a monarchy. This is not a settled
matter in Australia as a British historian's book has called to question the rightful
heirs to the throne since 1485. Of course the book in typical English nit picking
tradition is baloney since Richard III had gained the throne for his four years of
kingship by murder in the midst of a civil war that he lost wishing he had a horse
(Shakespeare had him saying: "a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.")
The history is interesting but not significant. However, in Australia this is a matter
of serious discussion. Be sure to look over the references because the who's who
of it all is a bit complex.

what it was like in this set of pictures.

 Breaking horses
to harness- Tuesday
March 16, 2004
Mistatim : It is so fitting to have a short story from
Mistatim about horsemanship. The town's name is the Cree word for "big dog"
the name the Cree gave horses.

 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.

 The Bush’s crooked and scary world of
the Free Market: Haiti, Iraq… and more terrorism- Thursday
March 11, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Democratic Presidential hopeful Senator John
Kerry was overheard muttering that Bush and his associates were crooked and scary.
Mario deSantis points out that this has become an increasingly more crooked and more
scary world each passing day with polarised ideologies even more dangerous than the
days of the Cold War.

 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.
