 Only the Progressive
Conservatives are facing the issues- Wednesday
September 24, 2003
by: Jason Inness
Calgary: As the Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance negotiate some sort
of agreement Jason Inness points out that the federal Liberal party has been pretty
well absent from responding to the series of crisis facing the country and the Alliance
has been wasting time on emotional issues. He feels only the Progressive Conservatives
are dealling with things that really matter.

Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| There are things that you can do something about, but there also things over which
you have no control. So which of those two categories does it make sense to concentrate
your efforts? |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
Nov. 22, 1963: 'All you've heard is wrong'. Joseph Farah of the World Net Daily
discusses new books that deal with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. |

Ensign Notes
|
| Our summer trip to Oshkosh left us with so many stories to tell. Today is the second
aircraft we will feature over the next while, this one being the number two on our
list. |

 Beriev Be-103- Tuesday
September 23, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Oshkosh, Wisconsin: Though the OshKosh AirVenture is
an amateur/homebuilt convention the star of the show this year was a commercial aircraft
designed and build in Russia. This remarkable, low wing, twin engined, amphibian
is simply off the scale in innovation and outstanding engineering. For me this was
the most exceptional aircraft of the thousands to be seen at this incredible event.

 IMF and World Bank: the
international business of privatisation- September 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This brief story summarises the underlying
issues that affect the development of the third world which is suppose to be one
of the goals of these American dominated institutions. Check out the references as
we have included some actual news stories from Dubia with a viewpoint from that part
of the world.

Tisdale's special place- Monday
September 22, 2003

and always special. This story includes a QuickTime VR panorama (360MB).

- The Greenwater report
- September 22, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: Fall closes in on the park

All this and more.

 Delorme's Steel
& Repair expands, again- Sunday
September 21, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Since this business began operations it has
been a scene of continous growth demonstrating not only the popularity of this business
but of the continued growth and development of the community in which it operates.
|

 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.

|

September 20, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire

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

- 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

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.
