spending- Thursday
October 17, 2002
Mike Reilly points out a very disturbing factor that has been raised by the auditor

Gross Domestic Product on "other" budget items.

 The strike that will not end- Wednesday
October 16, 2002
Though some are hopeful that maybe the strike will be over soon there is really no
reason for such a belief and even if the strike ends the damage to the health care
system is extremely severe. So severe it will simply limp running as it does now
with the strike in progress even after the strike concludes.

 Re-forming the
spirit of Reform- Tuesday
October 15, 2002
Ron Thornton is definitely not alone in feeling the discomfort of the way the idealism
of the Reform movement was bent by internal difficulties in the evolved Canadian
Alliance Party. In the light of former Reform leader Preston Manning's new book being
released yesterday it is interesting as Ron discusses the basic ideals and political
needs of this region of Canada.

October 13, 2002

Fernandes.
