Tisdale: Frost then snow closes in on our part of the
world as this year winds down and the promise of another seems to have some truly
interesting prospects. This story presents some pictures of scenes this later afternoon,
early evening was thoughts of new prime ministers, old prime ministers, new governments
and new governments seem very much like the fog about us.

 The Big Farce
of Free Speech in the Free Market: President George Bush and Secretary
of Defense Donald Rumsfeld- Wednesday
November 19, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Weapons of mass destruction, regime change,
freeing the people of Iraq from a dictator all of these excuses to go to war seem
so hollow now as it becomes increasingly apparent that none of those things were
the objective. Now they flail away with rhetoric about terrorism when they themselves
define terrorism as attacks upon civilians while their forces are the only forces
attacking civilians and the people of Iraq are fighting back against soldiers and
they call that terrorism. You would wonder how they can go on day after day telling
thes tales, tales that even they can not believe.

 November 22...Forty
Years Later- Wednesday
November 19, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: What if! Indeed we can only speculate as to what would have happened had
the American President not been shot and killed forty years ago. Every life has profound
affects on history but this one life had already set a course that had and still
has affects today.

 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.

this on the go Winnipeg has chosen this time to introduce a pocket ashtray. What's
next, walkmen 45rpm record players?

 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.
