Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Americans are concerned about their supply
of influenza vaccine but Canadian health officials said that there is no shortage
in Canada. I got my shot today and you should really consider the benefits of this
simple precaution. It may not prevent you from getting the flu but if you do it will
be milder and you will be less likely to give it to others. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 Gay group challenges
Swaggart tax status (pdf)
The Advocate reports that complaints have been filed against pop evangalist Jimmy
Swaggart for his comments about gay people "If one ever looks
at me like that, I'm going to kill him and tel God he died." |

 Kerry’s vision of ‘change
position’ and Bush’s vision of ‘certainty’- Wednesday
October 6, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: Television commentators would not voice their comments about the success or failure
of each candidate in last week's debate until they got the poll results to tell them
what to think. That one factor tells you almost all there is to know about the American
intellect and their powers of reasoning.

October 6, 2004
Images by : Timothy Shire II
Prince George, British Columbia : Participants all across Canada were out on trails and streets in

 The Greenwater
Report- Tuesday
October 5, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : The frost has bitten Gerald hard as he found it hard to savour the
quality of Sunday morning. But all is not gloom as there is a new great grandchild
but on the other hand a grandson is stuck in a Chinese airport with missing papers.

October 5, 2004

 A
hole lot bigger- Thursday
September 30, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The

can begin tomorrow.
|
 Outpost Lacxonton- Thursday
September 30, 2004
Prince Albert : A movie to be shot in Prince Albert next summer is in need of a performer

the part.

 Tell your leader
for me!- Wednesday
September 29, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario

us all about the dangers of Quebec's separate deal with Ottawa over health care and
other provincial matters.

 Le due Simonette bring joy
to Italy and everywhere else there is hope- Wednesday
September 29, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert :
The release of the two Italian aid workers by Iraq fighters suggests that there may
be much better ways to solve problems then fighting and killing.

 Town
has begun cleanup of soil contamination along highway- Tuesday
September 28, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Many
folks were worried that the old filling station site just east of the railway crossing
on highway #3 would be difficult to clean up. Today it really needed a no smoking
sign.

 Snow,
Blue and an Emperor- Monday
September 27, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale :The
annual migration of arctic birds has begun and as it the case every spring and fall
they stop off for a week or more in this part of Saskatchewan. Some years farmers
are not particularly pleased with them but this year with the value of the crop in
the fields being what it is they are just part of the landscape.
|

September 27, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford

 On the Myth of Economics’
Productivity Growth: Avoiding Taxes, Establishing
Foreign Subsidiaries and Exporting American Jobs- Monday
September 27, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert : It is almost a matter of religious faith that if you are able to
do more in less time with less resources then you are on your way to profits and
economic heaven. This concept is a myth and this article shatters that myth.
|
 REFORM:
another word for covering the assets of businesses, experts and politicians- Saturday
September 25, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: The catch word for modern politicians is "refrom" it seems that they
believe that the public will buy a major overhaul of a programme rather than funding
or supporting the programme the way it was originally conceived.

Shanahan points out the obvious and important points from the story that emphasis
a need for us all to look to our own land for the best model for the future.

September 23, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

and converts and field goals were carried out with certainty.
|
 House
number fives sets new standard for bad engineering- Wednesday
September 22, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The
disappointment the new owners of this house must have felt as they have watched for
the whole summer, their instant home, dither time away. The simple setting of a foundation
and placing of a modular home has consumed the whole summer and laid waste to three
residential lots to accomplish this simple project.
