 The in-between- Wednesday
October 15, 2003
by: Andrew Shire
Tisdale: They are everywhere, over streams, gullies, rivers, they connect one place
with another, they are bridges and are one of man's attempts to over come his environment.
As an effort of humans to triumph over nature they are almost always in places that
are interesting and present a contrast worth yet another picture.

Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Talk about credibility! Peter MacKay signs an agreement with David Orchard agreeing
not to merge with the Canadian Alliance in order to gain the votes needed to become
the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party. Today he and Stephen Harper complete
the merger talks, now this is a guy that can be trusted! |

 We have found
the enemy and it is the United States: Americans attack the Chinese
weapon of undervalued Yuan- Friday
October 10, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The intention by United States and Israel to push for a regime change in
Syria is now taking shape and at the same time the economic forces are festering
in the United States as that country has identified the Chinese Yuan as the culprit
that is hurting its self abused trade deficit world position. This story gives you
the facts and the sources that will allow you to much more fully understand the economic
basis for this problem.

 Pilatus PC-12/45- Thursday
October 9, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: A large charter aircraft from Fort Lauderdale Florida was
parked at Tisdale airport yesterday. This nine passenger Swiss made, 1997 single
engine turbo prop is becoming extremely popular as a regional commuter and executive
aircraft. Its single engine lowers maintenance costs and gives this aircraft a remarkable
range and load carrying capability.

 Martin’s gas tax plan borrows
“liberally” but now “wholly” (too bad) from Canadian Taxpayers Federation Municipal
Roadway Trust- Thursday
October 9, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: The new deal that future prime minister Paul Martin is talking about is a
diluted adaptation of the Canadian Taxpayer Federation's propose set forth many years
ago as Mr. Martin and his government have continued to take taxes in the name of
road improvements and have used that money for general revenue.

 American Trade Deficit and Jobs Losses:
Econometric correlation to the undervalued Chinese currency 'yuan/renminbi'- Wednesday
October 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin / The Great Wall near Bejing: Economists and
political commentary on television love to use number to support their arguments
and points of view. Ultimately, this practice is truly misleading and ignores so
many contribution factors which, had they been considered, would have lead to quite
different conclusions. The United States is in financial trouble and blames
China for its woes when it is the cause of its own problems. This story explains
the missing parts that CNN's Lou Dobbs should have been able to explain, but
could not. As always, Mr. deSantis has provided you with some amazing references
that deal with this issue and what it means for the world economy.

make the best of it.
