Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 This is how we Canadians differ the most
from Americans. After four years of a president who was not elected few, if any Americans
believe in democracy and certainly those in power are against it in every way. But
in Canada our parliament can decide to hold another election tonight or work its
way along with a minority government. We Canadians believe in the Briitish parliamentary
democratic system. |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 Daley hints
at change for Ill. drug laws (pdf) AP writer Don Babwin reports that Chicago's no nonsense mayor,
Richard Daley, wants to see minor soft drug offences handled with a ticket
rather than tie up police in expensive court proceeding where 94% are tossed out
of court. |

 A straitjacket
for our dreams- Thursday

by : David Orchard

 Tisdale

 Big
Potatoes- Wednesday
October 6, 2004
by : Donna LaRochelle
Gravelbourg :

plants but this was not the case at a farm eight miles north of Gravelbourg where
two hills of potatoes weighed thirteen pounds.

 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
a massive fund raising event for treatment and prevention of breast cancer. Here
are two outstanding images from Prince George.

 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
by : Timothy W. Shire

fall sale- Thursday
September 30, 2004

and just about everything in between.
|
 A
hole lot bigger- Thursday
September 30, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The
edges of the dig have been defined and it looks like the soil removal process was
pretty well finished by this afternoon (before the snow) and clean up and refill
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

 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.

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.

reptile zoo- Friday
