Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 It is a comfort to us all that from time to time computer
technology fails us so miserably. There is a moral in this realisation because so
many suggest a technological solution to all problems, from medical care to politics
and international relations but when it comes down to it all things people make are
subject to the frailties of humans themselves and like their creator sometimes failure
occurs. |

Kevin's find of the day
|
 Kan. offers free
land to lure residents (PDF) Carl Manning for Associated
Press, put this interesting story about a scheme to attact people to the emptying
towns of the plains of the United States. |

 Neo-conservatives
cannot govern for long- Thursday
March 25, 2004
by : Mahmood Elahi
Ottawa : The political background and direction of the leader of the Conservative
party will merely import into Canada a similar situation that is seen south of the
border: "American neo-conservatrives have already split that country
into warring camps where no sane debate is possible."

 A demented mentality
and changing the Saskatoon Police Service: Cheers for social activist
Sheila Steele and police chief Russel Sabo- Tuesday
March 23, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The use of the term "demented" is
not to slur mental health issues but rather to describe a way of thinking that would
not be considered sane. It is very important to realise that the courts define sanity
as having an understanding of the rightness or wrongness of an act. It appears that
many decisions are made today as though there were no right or wrong and certainly
no awareness of those conditions.

March 23, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : A little more snow, a storm
and how Merv caught the fish, along with a trip to Saskatoon and some reminders of

 An Underwelling mandate- Tuesday
March 23, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls : With only a fraction of the members
bothering to vote in the Conservative Party's leadership convention one would truly
wonder about the credibility of the new leader or for the party for that matter.

 Extreme Enough
To Become Our Next Prime Minister?- Tuesday
March 23, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : The Liberal campaign will clearly identify
Stephen Harper for the self identified Alberta separatist that he is but perhaps
one should consider that when you consider the same kind of political attitude Mr.
Harper has is identified as wrong for him while Ontario, Quebec and maritimes take
the same position for themselves.

 One year after
Bush’s war in Iraq: The building of the ominous ideology "you're
with us or against us"- Tuesday
March 23, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The US president and his team are attempting
to debunk the highly critical allegations made against the administration by a senior
retired official, Richard Clark, who will testify Wednesday in the 9/11 hearings.
That war and the president's command of credibility have become a matter of ridicule
and humour.

 Sneak Attack :
Heavy snow warning turns into late winter blizzard- Friday
March 19, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Environment Canada spotted the weather disturbance
making its way across the prairies and warned of heavy snow in the North and the
northern grain belt with storm warnings for the southern grain belt but as these
things sometimes develop they take on a life of their own and this one became a full
blown blizzard with ice, snow and blowing snow. Time to park.
