Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| A fix can be worse by far than the original problem. If you want to have your furnace
and the air handling system in your home cleaned, beware of those who pump a deorderant
into your heating system. The smell will not only stink up your home, but if you
are sensative to petroleum problems or have respiratory ailments, your house will
be the last place on earth you will want to be. For only $160 you can have your house
turned into a contaminated environment with air quality equal to a toxic waste dump.
If you want this for your home, call PowerBrush in Saskatoon 1 877 351
7300. |

 He

only make a good life but is funny for everyone. |

and walk its way across this part of the country.

 Big Tents, big
Hopes, Big Deal?- Wednesday
October 29, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: Though many want to see a united conservative
movement in Canada that can provide an alternative to the Liberal party the reality

is and Canada is not the sum of its parts but the sum of Quebec and Ontario.
