November 13, 2004
by : Mario deSantis

is perhaps a biased opinion, as she may well be telling people what they don't want
to hear.

- A perception of the disorder in the New World Order: Canadian health care, the falling American dollar, universities’
independence
- Friday
November 26, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: Though Canada's health care system, the falling American dollar and the reliance
of Canadian universities upon money from private business seem to be completely different
topics Mr. deSantis is pointing out that this is our world and we have to accept
responsibility for thinking things through and we need to object when the appropriate
compromise between "need and greed" goes unchecked. This story needs some
careful consideration and you will have to refer to the references to grasp the complexities
of these inter-related issues.

December 2, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : With
the arrival of winter the crop year of 2004 is now behind us and there is no other

remain in the fields and worthless grain in storage while even more worthless cattle
continue to eat up abundant feed that even though cheap, will not yield and a net
return.
