 Air Canada: Waiting at the brink- Wednesday
May 19, 2004
by : David Orchard
Borden : It appears
at times the we forget our historical successes and wander off into oblivious following
trendy ideological theories. Canada was built by public and private cooperation,
Canadian Pacific, Canadian National, Trans Canada Airlines each filled a need in
a very big country. The country is just as big now as it ever was and the need to
pull it together greater than ever.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 It is remarkable that when they were first developed,
the writing machine, was a male dominated thing, then for decades it was used by
skilled trained women. In the 1960s ordinary people began using typewriters and they
became almost instantly obsolete between 1980 and 82 when word processors replaced
them in every office and work place. Now that skill that began over a hundred years
ago, typing, is a basic need to everyone, as the keyboard is likely to be a part
of computer technology for at least one more decade. |

more skies- Tuesday

wheels- Tuesday
May 18, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : My
heart lifts up when I behold a topless car. Today's outstanding weather conditions
put a smile on the people in Tisdale but just looking at this beautiful car with
its top down made me grin.

 Reform to betray Harper's
"no hard feelings"- Monday
May 17, 2004
by : Rob Shanahan
Hamilton, Ontario
: The inner core of Stephen Harper's Conservative party is the party's ultimate downfall.
Harper's advisors, his co-conspirator, Peter McKay and the old time reformers are
what they are and it isn't pretty.

 GPS
surveying- Friday
May 14, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : New
technology often becomes standard operating methods simply because all of what it
replaces can no longer compete with the accuracy and speed of the invention. In this
case a system for guiding Intercontinetal Balistic Missiles works just as well directing
a sprayer in a field or discovering where the corner is of a town lot.

 Bush’s God cannot win the
hearts and minds of the Iraqi people- Thursday
May 13, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : This
article is a summary of a series of articles and material that paints a very unfavourable
picture of our American neighbours. The Iraqi prison torture story is disturbing,
but even more disturbing is the death of an American in Iraq, which has the timing,
that suggests this was a sacrifice rather than execution, as it provides Americans
with justification for their war crimes.

 Who
runs Iraq?- Thursday
May 13, 2004
by : Kevin McIntyre
Carrot River :
Things don't add up, the torture of prisoners in Iraq, the attempted cover up of
that ongoing activity, the murder of civilian Nicholas Berg and America's contempt
for the Geneva Convention as demonstrated in their holding of more than 400 people
at a Cuban military concentration camp.
