Small
business is big business in small town Saskatchewan- Wednesday
November 12, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The success of a rural community does not only
depend upon the primary industry which for most of Saskatchewan is agriculture, but
it depends upon diversification with small business shouldering the responsibility
for a pluralistic economy.

 Differing Policy
Directions- Wednesday
November 12, 2003
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock B.C.: With Progressive Conservatives actually
protesting the merger of the two political parties in Vancouver today we find out
in this short but to the point comparison of Progressive Conservative and Canadian
Alliance policies which essentially are completely opposite to one another.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| There is a reason that novelty is one of the most attractive things that can occur
in our lives. Our curious minds need new things and so do our bodies. The more variety
in our diet the more likely we are to provide ourselves with the nutrients we need
to survive. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Today's Toddlers Act Like Teens? This Reuters
story by Matthew Jones discusses a growing phenomena where British parents are devoting
more resources to fashion and lifestyles products for small children. |

 Golburn- Tuesday
November 11, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Once every road allowance, one mile apart East
and West and every two miles North and South was actually a road but with the consolidation
of farms many roads have once again become fields. While following some roads today
we came upon a village that was like these over grown road allowances, a community
that once was. This story includes a QuickTime Virtual Reality panorama
of the area near the Golburn School and fairgrounds site.

 They Served- Monday
November 10, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: They went to war some have gone to make peace
but one way or another they have placed the needs of the country and the people of
this country above their own survival. Some died doing their duty and others have
lived on since their conflict but their lives have changed and their service has
made a difference for each of us.

November 10, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: The lake has froze over

the disappointments of the election and last night's game.

 Two flies go to
A&W first Anniversary- Friday
November 7. 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Bright sunlight poured into the
little Tisdale A&W today as it celebrated its first anniversary. This business
has certainly made its mark on the community and continues to develop its local roots.

 The latest on Bush's economic exports:
war and democracy- Friday
November 7, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Congress and Senate have approved the $87.5
billion in funds to rebuild Iraq as American corporations harvest the profits from
the process and the US president is now talking as though he wants to do the same
thing for China.

 Progressive Conservatives
call for democratic vote- Thursday
November 6, 2003
by: John Herron
Ottawa: The vote to merge the Progressive Conservative
party with the Canadian Alliance appears not to be so universally accepted as the
advertisements might suggest. This press release indicates a deep and serious rift
within Tory ranks.

 No Fault (Tort Reform) Auto Insurance
in Canada: Hypocritical regulations to appease the Free Market- Thursday
November 6, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Ontario and Alberta have private insurance,
astronomical rates and governments determined to reduce coverage to protect the motorist
from high rates and the insurance companies from their own investment stupidity,
so much for the natural consequences of the free market.

 St. Annes des
Chenes- Wednesday
November 5, 2003
by: Lauren McCallum
St. Annes des Chenes: A historical community in Southeastern
Manitoba, one of the first European settlements on the Western prairies and the area
from which Saskatchewan's Francophone communities evolved. This story tells us about
the historical church in the small rural community now badly in need of restoration
in an effort to preserve the history of a significant contributor to the history
of Western Canada.

 Anti-Sweatshop
Movement Provides Needed Counterweight in the Global Economy- Wednesday
November 5, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
Washington, D.C.: The recent accusations that Rap performer "P" Diddy is
using a 368 employee sweatshop in Choloma Honduras to produce his signature clothing.
This brings the issue of corporations exploiting with impunity the poor of the world
for manufacturing.

 The way we were- Tuesday
November 4, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: I was walking through a store when I spotted
that picture, just a picture of a city with its skyscrapers then I realised when
it was taken and from where it was taken and what has happened since that moment
in time.
