 The Conservative
Party of Canada is on the same course as the Titanic- Tuesday
November 18, 2003
by: Al Gullon
Ottawa: The indications are that the Canadian Alliance
members have been buying up Progressive Conservative memberships to control the vote
in the merger of the two parties. Al Gullon, who has been deeply involved in his
riding of Ottawa South's policy formulation points out that there is a way to control
this problem. If it isn't controlled the new party is doomed.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| If you own or manage a restaurant, let it be known, you will lose more business by
allowing smoking in your premises than you will gain from smoking customers as we
non-smokers are now the majority. Went to lunch at the Blue Sky restaurant
in Porcupine Plain but left due to the level of smoke in the place. |

Ensign Notes

| Since this web site began Philip Lindenback has been an inspiration to the many themes
that have been pursued and though he only made one or two contributions but our monthly

 Pocket Ashtray- Tuesday
November 18, 2003
by: Cassandra Loiselle
Winnipeg: At a time when smoking is falling in the population
and governments across the country are doing everything they can to discourage people
from starting smoking and the need for folks to quit is greater than ever, with all
this on the go Winnipeg has chosen this time to introduce a pocket ashtray. What's
next, walkmen 45rpm record players?

 The Greenwater report- Monday
November 17, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: The ice is thickening up
on the lake and the deer are hanging around. Gerald has been in at least one town
or city a day and photographed a fashion show.

 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.

 Country Gifts and Crafts 2003- Thursday
November 13, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Open at 4:00 today and the sale going on tomorrow
and Saturday once again the shopping season begins with this remarkable display of
art and craft products.

 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.
