 The Empty Land- Tuesday
March 30, 2004
by : Edwin Wallace
Success : When Europeans settled Saskatchewan they homesteaded
in many areas a family on every quarter section so that the province once had a population
of 2,000,000 people but now there are less than one million so the deer, antelope
and moose are simply moving back onto the empty land where there are few preditors
and no people.

 The search for
the truth surrounding 9-11 continues- Friday
April 2, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : This web site has expressed extreme concern
over the Government of the United States and its behaviour leading up to and after
the attack on September 11, 2001. Most of the truth is buried in attempts to blind
the voters of that country from what happened and it has taken a long time for a
commission to be established to even look into the problem. This story and its extensive
references gives you a chance to sort some of these issues out for yourself.

Truck in Tisdale- Friday
April 2, 2004
