Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| For me, the pressing issues of the day involve so many other things I sometimes wonder
why am I out of step. That's when I discover that the ballhoo over same sex marriage
is not a moral issue at all, but a political event demonstrating once again the bigotry
of Alberta's party of choice, the lame brained Canadian Alliance. Now we know
why the snaps on their shirts, buttons present a technical challenge. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 The Artists: It's the Music, Stupid,
Newsweek article by Lorraine Ali points out the slump in music
sales is not because of Internet downloading but rather it is because the music industry
has been pumping out a poor product loading up albums with just plain stuff to back
up a single good song. |

 Understanding Bush's bloody dollar and
American foreign policies - Sunday
September, 21, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: You must read this story carefully because both in Geoffrey Heard's
explanation and in the references for this story is the basic conditions that are
allowing the United States to muddle along deeply in debt and still considered the
world's strongest economy.

 Peter MacKay's speech on the
Alliance same-sex motion- Sunday
September, 21, 2003
by: Peter MacKay
Ottawa: This issue has been emotionalised and taken to such extremes and it
might be useful for us to read a moderate approach to the issue that has both reason
and a desire to see a peaceful resolution come about. Peter MacKay is leader of the
Progressive Conservative party and it is interesting to note that he has for some
years had a close relationship with a Halifax woman in public but they have chosen
not to marry.

 Curiousity Corner Mural- Sunday
September 21, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The addition of a mural to a blank wall on main street is a major
addition to the communities appearance.
|
|
 TAG open for business- Saturday
September 20, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Heavy highway hauling truck parts is the specialty at this new parts
shop located just East of Bow Mar Sales Ltd.

- Conservatives need to have faith in their leadership
- Saturday
September 20, 2003
by: Mark-Allan Whittle
Hamilton: Yesterday Brian Marlatt gave us a much different
view of a possible conservative/alliance merger but Mark-Allan Whittle tells
us that Conservatives should trust Peter McKay and Stephen Harper to bring the two
like minded groups together.

- A Walk in the Park
- Friday
September 19, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Fall with colour, light rain and cool temperatures, ideal conditions
to enjoy one of the best places in Tisdale, the trail by St. Theresa Park. This story
includes a QuickTime VR panorama requiring QuickTime to view.

- COALITIONS
CONSIDERED....Again: A Tory's Point of View
- Friday
September 19, 2003
by: Brian D. Marlatt
Vancouver: What matters is how things are done and why, and for that reason,
there is little common ground between the Canadian Alliance and Progressive
Conservatives. Even if a deal is worked out the Canadian public, the voters,
will not accept such a contrivance without substance.

 St. Paul's Fall
Sale- Thursday
September 18, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Several of Tisdale's churches hold various fund raising events. Today
and tomorrow the United Church is holding their huge sale.

 China is growing
by waging peace, the Bush administration is regressing by waging war- Thursday
September 18, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: In this story Mr. deSantis gives you the broad strokes of something
that seems ironic and that is that China is doing well by maintaining peace with
its neighbours. To fully appreciate this concept be sure to look over the references
he has provided you.

 World Trade Organisation Beached in Cancun- Thursday
September 18, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
Washington: The WTO conference in Cancun was a complete failure and Mr. Weisbrot
points out that this was fully predictable. Clearly, the purpose of promoting trade
has been surplaced with capitalistic merchantile political issues.

September 17, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Area schools launch their cross country running season with today's
meet here in Tisdale.

 Downtown sidewalks- Wednesday
September 17, 2003
by: Doug Hay
Tisdale: Yesterday in the story "Unforgiving" there were pictures
and information about the poor condition of the sidewalks downtown. Today the town's
Economic Development Director explains the lack of wheelchair access, what we need
to do about hazzards and plans for upgrading the downtown area. The pictures of repairs
on the area photographed yesterday were taken at 4:30 this afternoon.

 Bureaucrats and expense accounts:
The never-ending feast- Wednesday
September 17, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: It seems goofy spending is a part of government as yet another expense
account scandal is ermerging. A thirty-four year old former assistant to Heritage
minister Sheil Copps seems to have come close to the line of abusing the money we
all send to Ottawa. Walter Robinson has some suggestions about the problem.
|
|
 Unforgiving- Tuesday
September 16, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Rough, filled with holes, to dangerous for a wheel chair or walker
and hard enough to break kneecaps and wrists; Tisdale's downtown sidewalks.

and Other Tory Stories- Tuesday
September 16, 2003
by: Ron Thornton

again tumbling around.

September 15, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford

this and more in this week's report.
