Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| The provincial election is behind us but this is not the time to forget about politics.
Now is the time to encourage and offer suggestions to the people you have elected.
All MLAs and the cabinet will appreciate your input and greetings. Being a politician
is tough work and if you want good government, get involved. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 Part of statement alleging wrong
doing by pop singer Michael Jackson. Some time we just get more information
than we want or need but like it or not over the next month or so we are going hear
so much about the unusual life style of the 41 year old superstar. |

Ensign Notes
|
| You would think at some point the massive and spiralling development of computer
software, hardware and networks would begin to slow but that simply isn't happening
as the pace of development is continuing to move forward exponentially. |

 The ingredients of American Bloody Capitalism:
GREED, HYPOCRISY, WARS Will the Carlyle Group salvage Lord Black's Hollinger? - Tuesday
November 25, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The arms financiers and weapons dealer company the Carlyle Group is not
a matter of fiction but a real corporation and this story shows you who is in that

his Hollinger company.

 The Greenwater Report- Monday
November 24, 2003

as the wildlife this time of the year as Gerald goes down to Foam Lake for a visit
and tells us about things there and in Kelvington.

 The classic- Monday
November 24, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Recreation takes many forms but the classic experience for every western
Canadian is skating and playing hockey on an outdoor rink. Most children learn to
skate on such facilities and for most of us it is the place where we will go for
our last trip around the ice.

 Stories from Iraq- Monday
November 24, 2003
by: Christian Peacemaker Teams
Iraq: Richard Phillips who is involved with providing food aid around the
world from his office in Winnipeg passed on these on the scene stories by a group
of people who are in Iraq hoping to provide some help to its embattled people. We
are bringing you these stories because of the remarkable similarities of these events

 This will be a winter of discontent
- Sunday
November 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 Capitalism- Sunday
November 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.

 On a winter's
day- Friday
November 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 dice- Friday
November 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
endings- Wednesday
November 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 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.
