 A Tory Kyoto
Protocol Primer- Saturday
March 5, 2005
by : Brian Marlatt
White Rock B.C.:
With other issues at hand the federal government has agreed to the United Nations
Kyoto Protocol without a plan of action, even put money into the current budget.
Back in 2003 the Progressive Conservative Party worked out its concerns about global
warming and here is a basic discussion of the issue with very useful academic annotated
bibliography to help anyone who wants to explore in more detail the ramifications
of dealing with global warming.

 Who was Canada
shilling for in Bangkok?- Saturday
March 5, 2005
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls
: This story is questioning the Canadian Government's advocacy and representation
at the UN conferences on biological diversity on behalf of the large US corporations
attempting to develop and spread terminator seed technology.

- It could have been prevented
 Friday
March 4, 2005
by : Edwin Wallace
Success :With
such a tragic loss of life this is really not the time for the Deputy Prime Minister
to set about making political hay. The emotional and political context of this incident
cloud over the simple inherent danger in a society like that in Alberta which worships
deadly weapons.
|
 Frost- Friday
March 4, 2005
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : A photo
essay celebrating the last glorious and perhaps glamourous days of winter.
|
 House number one for 2005- Thursday
March 3, 2005
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Though
this house was begun back in the late fall its new basement was sealed up for the
winter and work has resumed at a rapid pace making it the first new house to be completed
this year.
|
- Why, Ms. Higgins, the one step forward five steps back dance?
 Thursday
March 3, 2005
by : Edwin Wallace
Success : Legislation passed by the legislature ten years ago but never enacted has
been shelved. The regulation was designed to move part-time workers to full time
workers when new jobs came available.

 The Greenwater Report- Thursday
March 3, 2005
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park
:This the report from February 13 and was lost in the 4270 e-mails that went astray
when our server crashed. Gerald tells us about the snowmobile ride for cancer, updates
us on the fishing and the marina and relates one of Merv's yarns about a pocket watch.
|
- Bush’s Wishes [BS] versus People’s Needs, that is War versus Peace
 Thursday
March 3, 2005
by : Mario desantis
Prince Albert
: There is a perverse reality that exists south of the border where excuses become
facts and evidence is irrelevant if it does not suit the political agenda.
|
 Young
at heart- Thursday
February 24, 2005
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Many
people have sung the song but Jimmy Durante's version is the definative one for me.
This is a set of pictures from today to accompany this great classic. (this page
requires a recent version of QuickTime to display the images and hear
the song 2.4MB.)
|
- So
what do you think of the budget?
 Wednesday
February 23, 2005
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : This
is the editor's take on the budget delivered today in Ottawa by "Sir Ralph the
Good". An election budget with something for everybody sometime. The question
is, is this good for Canada?
|
- Is Belinda Stronach the next leader of the Conservatives,
the Liberals, or the NDP?
 Tuesday
February 22, 2005
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton :The
House of Commons debate on same sex marriage has become not only a Canadian issue
but an international one as the way Canada deals with this issue is being closely
watched. Here is another look from the conservative point of view on the issue.

February, 11, 2005
by : Eric Sagan
Melville : The
Saskatchewan Wheat Pool passes out of existence as a farmer owned operation signalling
its end as an economically viable entity. Eric Sagan wrote this back on January 30
and we just did not get it posted until now, events have passed this milestone but
the sentiments expressed are important.

 The Greenwater
Report- Friday
February 11, 2005
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park :Digging has begun to dredge out the marina and Gerald is recovering

week.

about to dig up the marina.
