Tim's Tip of the Day
|
It took four hours for CBC to television sixty minute of football yesterday. One
has to wonder that perhaps instead of paying for television those advertisers owe
us to sit through a three to one entertainment to commercial ratio. At some point
viewers will turn off the commercials and play cards. |
Kevin's find of the day
|
County
sells woman's farm over $572 bill. (PDF) This remarkable Penn. story by Diana
Stricker in the The Patriot-News relates how an elderly lady had her
$800,000 property sold from under her for a tax notice she paid and the county would
accept her check really caught the eye of the public and when lawyers were involved
the buyer of the house gave it back and his $15,000 was returned and Helene
Shue still has her home and acreage. |

- A World of Hypocrisy: Bush's
Lies and U.S. Crony Capitalism
- Friday
November 14, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: There is a climate that is arising and even
though we share in the pride of the high thoughts of our former and new Prime Minister
they come in the light of the sad betrayal of Maher Arar and William Samson. It is
this divergence of reality that confounds us and Mario really only hints at the widening
gap between what is really happening and what we are being told. The United States
has created a mess and is about to make more mess by abandoning the country they
destroyed over the lies they have told. Similarly their economy is crumbling while
we are told they are recovering. This short story has some powerful references that
give the exploring reader a chance to see more clearly what is indeed happening.

- 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.

- 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.

- The Greenwater report
- Monday
November 10, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: The lake has froze over
and George Renneberg pulled out three jack through the ice but Gerald has survived
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.
