Clear and present danger
Thursday
September 6, 2007

Tisdale: Global warming is a serious matter, so is racism, a possible recession and the abuse of civil liberties but all things pale by comparison to the dangers posed by nuclear weapons.

by: Gerald Crawford

100 years
Friday
August 31, 2007

Listen, consider, respond: repeat as often as necessary
Tuesday
August 28, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Dictatorships, totallotarian regiems and military mentality do not follow the Socratic method of dialogue and it would seem that many others fall into the same rut, fundamentalists, those driven by dogma and hatred, its a pretty big category.
Making way
Tuesday
August 28, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
An older small house on 108th was destroyed today to make way for a replacement.

Greenwater Lake Provincial Park:
It just seems like a few days ago that summer began and now its over as Gerald brings us up to date on park businesses as they close and open for the season while filling us in on cabin construction and moving.
Have Canadian Forces in Afghanistan been pawns?
Monday
August 27, 2007
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario:
So much for idealism, it looks like the negotiations that actually were on going prior to September 11, 2001 have kept developing the need for a US owned pipeline to be built across Afghanistan from the Caspian Sea to the Pakistan coast. This evidence is very solid much more so than any shaky reasons given so far for Canadians to be fighting and dying in the Panjwayl and Kandahar areas of Pakistan.
