Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Though some analysists suggest that the Canadian dollar's rise in valued compared
to the devaluing US dollar is limited to about 75¢ they are mere exercising
caution. The reality is that, in theory, the US dollar once it is realised that
it is over valued, could easily descent to its true value and the Canadian dollar's
upper limit would rise well above par. Today it will close above 72¢. With
the US dollar based on its government's over spending, tower debt, 6% unemployment
and massive trade deficit it real value could easily reach $1.56 Canadian. Remember
the stock market has already lost 50% of its value since Bill Clinton left the oval
office. |

 You are an idiot- Tuesday, May 6, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
When the Liberal leadership candidates held their first "debate" in Calgary
Paul Martin made several old suggestions to address western alienation. Ron Thornton
suggests that if we believe these guys we are indeed either idiots or lapdogs.

 Extreme yard sales- Monday, May 5, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
As part of the "Relay for Life" project a massive yard sale took place
Saturday morning on the grounds of the Golden Age Centre in Tisdale, the word huge
does not begin to describe it or the other sales on Saturday.

 The Greenwater
report- Monday, May 5, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Each week Gerald's pictures just keep getting better as he shows us the ice disappearing
from the lake, the debris of winter and tells us about the birds and animals that
make the park their home part or all of each year.

 Paul Martin's Lunch- Monday, May 5, 2003
by: Rudy Fernandes
Though it is no secret we need to be reminded about the background of political figures
and realising that their popularity often comes from extreme wealth and power is
very important if we are to make sense of various political and strategic decisions
made. Rudy reminds us all where Paul Martin came from and to whom he owes his allegence
and success.

by: Timothy W. Shire
We are always adjusting, the snow is gone, some harvesting has begun, some farmers
are banding and in town life is made up of a series of stops from one garage sale
to the next.

 From the Free
Market to the Justice System: Let us think together about it!- Friday, May 2, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
What you will find in this story is the bottom line. Mr. deSantis has been digging
and the text of his story is how he feels after finding what he did but to understand
this conclusion you are going to have to look at some of the references as the ABC
story on the Whitehouse and its "emphasis" is truly a shocker.

 Getting Noticed- Friday, May 2, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
The demise of the notice board by the post office has moved the burden of being a
place to post buried in the sidewalk nearby. Seems like a problem.

 Solving the problems he created- Friday, May 2, 2003
by: Mike Reilly
Paul Martin has been coy about what he stands for and only lately has been making
pronouncements but his over confidence or arrogance is hard to fathom because this
man is most likely going to be the Prime Minister in a few months and as Mike Reilly
points out Paul Martin's solutions involve a lot of fast footwork and the understanding
of Canada one might expect of someone in kindergarten.
