by: Timothy W. Shire

show
highlights and some insight into the impact of the culture we know as Ukrainian.

in things- Friday, April 11, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Just a car broken down needing a tow, right? Wrong, it is a Cadillac broken down
needing a tow. This must mean something! To hear the song you will need QuickTime
installed in your computer.

 Incidental learning,
the stuff of real education- Friday, April 11, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
So what is really happening when a child is playing. What is really happening when
a school class goes on a field trip. When learning really happens there must be experience.

 Oh you can print
this!- Friday, April 11, 2003
by: Kevin McIntyre
Kevin has never been shy about speaking his mind. Here is a practical and the way
it is situation report as Kevin talks about the "spoils of war". Kevin
does not necessarily agree with the action taken by the United States and is critical
of Canada's position but all in all the results are real enough and here is what
they are.

 Contextual Awareness- Friday, April 11, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
If you look at a bullet is appears harmless enough, why even a gun is just an odd
mechanism, but when you consider their design and their function there is a whole
different layer of reality that creeps into one's awareness.

Respect and trust- Thursday, April 10, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Today Lindy Thorsen on CBC and Public Radio in North Dakota are doing a phone in

 Societal economics
on auto pilot: a personal SGI insurance claim and the war in Iraq- Thursday, April 10, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Mario damaged his car, then went to SGI about a claim but got the "you can claim
but I won't tell you how much it will cost you" line and wonders if there isn't
a metaphor in this experience as we look upon irresponsibility worldwide.

 Where is Canada?- Wednesday, April 9, 2003
by: Derrall Bellaire
Canada has sided with the world about the concept of "regime change" by
force but that doesn't mean we should not stand unconcerned while thousands are suffering
from the affects of an invasion of their country. Here is a positive and appropriate
action for Canada to engage in, one that would help in time of considerable need
and action that would not involve being a part of war criminal activity.

 Principled vision lacking- Wednesday, April 9, 2003
by: Mike Reilly
Trying to keep up with the wind direction and what the polls say each day is pretty
tough on foreign policy. Canadians and their government got this deal right in the
first place as a responsible part of the international community now its time to
help out the people of multicultural countries like Iraq to find a way toward building
a workable democratic or at least peaceful form of administration.

 The falsehood of president Bush and his
media's three step program- Tuesday, April 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
It is now widely known that the American President has deliberately and systematically
been saying things that he knows are not true. The American television networks and
newspapers are providing him knowingly with support and assistance. This can not
be good.

 Bush&Co.'s
hypocrisy:the bundling fascio of God and Greed- Tuesday, April 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Each day as Mario deSantis searchs through countless stories and information and
then as I go through hundreds of pictures to illustrate the summation he writes of
his research, we both are considerably saddened by the scene we are uncovering. As
I went through mid-eastern and Asian sources tonight I was struck with the enormity
of what is going on and know that those lives lost will not be forgotten but generations
will live on to avenge their loss. This can not be good.

 The Greenwater
report- Monday, April 7, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
With some fresh snow Gerald took in the Rambler Rodeo and Trade Show and brings us
some outstanding pictures of the stock dog trials and heavy horse pull. But as with
every report we get a fishing story or two and some reminicing about going to one
room rural schools.

 The absondoned
Canadian- Monday, April 7, 2003
by: Rebecca Gingrich
Two cabinet ministers have gone to bat for convicted terrorist, husband of a lady
in Surrey BC but it seems no one in the government will make any effort on the part
of a Canadian who was at the scene of a bombing and Saudi police tortured a confession
from the man now facing death.
