"I must go down to the seas again"- Thursday
November 25, 2004
by : Ken Jones and John Masefield
Nova Scotia :
When I studied John Masefield's "Sea Fever"
in high school it was quaint and the words interesting but it really meant nothing
until two days ago when Ken Jones sent me these amazing pictures of the Atlantic
off the coast of Nova Scotia taken in late October of this year.

November 25, 2004
by : Bev Currie
Swift Current
: New Zealand claims to have ended the scurge of Crib Death, the leading cause of
death to infants in Canada. The remarkable story and its references suggest a really
simple and inexpensive preventative measure to a killer.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Limiting access reduces consumption or
use, be that tobacco, alcohol, VLTs or narcotics. However, we can not legislate socially
acceptable, or healthy life style conditions. The lesson of prohibition of alcohol
and of drugs has not been without considerable negative side affects. This issue
is as old as our species and we need very much to consider alternatives to criminalisation
and denial. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 Terry Melcher,
shaper of California surf sound dies (pdf) CNN carried this REUTERs story of the Friday death of
Doris Day's 62 year-old son who was one of the main composers for the Beach
Boys. |

 How
anti-American is she, really?- Tuesday
November 23, 2004
by : Marjaleena Repo
Saskatoon : Though
the news and her former party leader have tried to paint this Missassauga member
of parliament as a loud mouth who does not think through what she is saying, this
is perhaps a biased opinion, as she may well be telling people what they don't want
to hear.

- Three and three-quarter more years, Three and three-quarter
more years, Three and three-quarter more years
- Tuesday
November 23, 2004
By : Timothy W. Shire & Edwin Wallace
Tisdale : Ralph
Klein won again to no surprise to anyone. He has a majority of 3:1 of his opposition
but Alberta papers consider his victory a loss. Go figure. What is even more interesting
as one of Canada's most economically important provinces, the provincial election
was not reported in any detail in most Eastern Canadian newspapers.

Tisdale : Each
Thursday morning I go out for breakfast, I have been doing this for several years

 The
myth of freedom by focusing on higher GDP numbers:
The case of the Iraq war- Saturday
November 13, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert : The excuses for waging war seem pretty trivial in all wars when weighed
against the loss of human life. This past week the battle for Fallujah against Iraqi
resistance fighters seems only another page in the continuing shambles that is American
foreign policy.
|

by : Timothy W. Shire
