Nipawin: Ontario and Alberta have private insurance,
astronomical rates and governments determined to reduce coverage to protect the motorist

this belief. |

Ensign Notes
|
| Did some retail marketing this morning only to discover that in most cases product
pricing at the big box stores makes the average VAR unable to compete as most retail
prices in the major chains is about the same prices as wholesale when shipping and
money handling is included. |

the historical church in the small rural community now badly in need of restoration

November 4, 2003

in time.

 Michel Chossudovsky discerns the trees
from the forest: The state is financing its own indebtedness- Tuessday
November 4, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: A loop develops whereby the financial industry and industry itself begins

to serve business rather than voters.

 Turning the page- Thursday
October 30, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The moment in time that sees one season become
another is not always clean as we have some years where it is hard to tell what season
it is. This year the changes have been dramatic, no question about when fall arrived
and just as clearly this weekend and the week to come we are seeing winter line up
and walk its way across this part of the country.

 Big Tents, big
Hopes, Big Deal?- Wednesday
October 29, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: Though many want to see a united conservative
movement in Canada that can provide an alternative to the Liberal party the reality
is hopelessly confusing as Canada's historical and political structure is what it
is and Canada is not the sum of its parts but the sum of Quebec and Ontario.
