				 -This will be a winter of discontent
SundayNovember 23, 2003
 by: Timothy W. Shire
 Bjorkdale: No crystal ball
				required as we watch helplessly as the United States enters the Vietnam style conflict
				in Iraq from which no success is possible. These pictures were taken Saturday evening
				near Bjorkdale as the sun dropped away from a cloudless cold winter sky.

				 Bush's advance
				of freedom: The Soul of American CapitalismSundayNovember 23,  2003
 by: Mario deSantis
 Nipawin: This story just gives you a hint of the very disturbing political issue
				that is endangering our little planet. Mr. deSantis has provided you with an outstanding
				list of references that go far beyond supporting the points he makes but gives you
				an opportunity to research the serious problem that faces mankind.

					 |  
					| Its flu season, if your feeling poorly, keep it at home until you feel better. Honestly
						we all forget that these things are very contageous and bed rest, fluids and a little
						chicken soup are better than a prolonged illness for you and your neighbours. |

						paper about a fellow lost his self control when he began having his computer overwhelmed
						with spam. |

				 On a winter's
				dayFridayNovember 21, 2003
 by: Timothy W. Shire
 Tisdale: Here are a set of pictures taken Thursday and
				today that tell of the wonder of a winter day. Few people from this part of the world
				dread winter but welcome it for what life changes its brings and of course there
				is nothing you can do about it but make the best of a challenging experience.

				 Loading the diceFridayNovember 21, 2003
 by: Joe Hueglin
 Niagara Falls: Things to do not add up. The constitution
				of the Progressive Conservative Party and the statements made by its leader seem
				to be in direct conflict with one another and the whole process underway is simply
				wrong in every sense of the word.

				 Beginnings and
				endingsWednesdayNovember 19, 2003
 by: Timothy W. Shire
 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 RumsfeldWednesdayNovember 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 LaterWednesdayNovember 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.

				 Philip Lindenback,
				December 29, 1914 to November 14, 2003TuesdayNovember 18, 2003
 by: Timothy W. Shire
 Weekes: One of Saskatchewan's great "letter to
				the editor" writers will no longer be make further submissions. His insight
				and wisedom in the past meant a lot to all of us and this man is going to be missed.

				 The Conservative
				Party of Canada is on the same course as the TitanicTuesdayNovember 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.

				 Pocket AshtrayTuesdayNovember 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?
