Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Following the revelation of Mr. Hermanson's hit list there may be a job opening with
the Saskatchewan Party as a uniform designer. They need something distinctive
but discreet, preferrably in black for their new "Saskatchewan
Savage" squad. We also expect bids from rural towns
and villages who would like to be host to some modest camps. All that will be needed
will be a few acres, huts, barbed wire and perimetre towers. Sirens, guard dog and
search lights would be optional. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
Lotto winner farms
first, claims millions later. This story was also carried by at least a  dozen other Canadian and US papers. Larry Greenbank
is 55 and farms the family farm at Kelso. The school in Kelso is called "Greenbank
School". Kelso is a Hamlet eight miles East and North of Wawota and fifteen
miles South of Moosomin. |

 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.

 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.

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.

September 21, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire

- Saturday
September 20, 2003
by: Mark-Allan Whittle

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.

- 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.
