February 10, 2004
by: Matthew and Timothy Shire
Regina and Tisdale : The day began with weather warning
being issued by Environment Canada as there was a fast moving storm crossing the

at 6:00 the Transcanada highway was closed from Alberta to Wolseley. This story has
some pictures from scenes today in Regina and in Tisdale.

 On Democracy of Free Market, Frame of
Language, Criminalization of Malice- Tuesday
February 10, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : When its dog eat dog, a level of merciless
develops, everything is a fight and everyone loses. Democracy is not about economic
cannibalism, but the economic forces that are at the root of the dog fight are less
than human.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| Pay close attention to the actions taken by the Federal government as it attempts
to deal with what has to be one of the biggest scandals in Canadian political history.
How this issue is dealt with will determine what sort of country we are and what
sort of country we want to become. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 "On the news at noon they said
the Canadian Health Report was released today and we aren't doing to good. On the
heels of the new smoking ban and the province gearing up for a 100% ban 01/01/05.
They are going to go after fat people the way they have gone after smokers."
This is what Kevin said today about the stories that were on both CBC,
CTV
and most major Canadian papers including Helen
Branswell's story (PDF) that appeared on Canoe. |

 The progress of
democracy- Monday
February 9, 2004
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock, B.C.: The prime minister is working hard
at making parliament more effective and is unlikely to fall into the errors seen
in the United States with both their constitution and the powers of their states.
Many of the planks of the Conservative Party of Canada, if it had such a thing are
those very errors Jefferson placed in the consitution that led to their civil war.

 Appellation Tory misleading- Monday
February 9, 2004
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario: The press is using a term that
clearly has a real meaning and applies to some people but there is no real connection
with the term "tory" and the Conservative Party of Canada and its Reform/Alliance
wannabe leaders.

by: Gerald Crawford

 Drugs- Friday
February 6, 2004
by: Concerned Tisdale Parent
Tisdale: After reading yesterdays story "Nosework"
a parent sent this message to alert the community to the threat she has learned is
now a part of the Tisdale environment. It was decided not to post the parent's name
as it may cause trouble for that parent's child/children.

 Bush’s Machiavellian democracy in Iraq
and an extravagant American economy- Thursday
February 5, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It seems impossible for the American dream
to have much of a future as the simple logic that Free Market and democracy are incompatible
concepts.

 Bush orders intelligence
inquiry: a cover up on top of another and of another…- Wednesday
February 4, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : There is no surprise that Americans are about
to look a little deeper into the actions of their government as it relates the Iraq
War and the attempt to blame it on faulty intelligence is the latest gamble to deflect
the hard and serious finger pointing that is going on as the United States is into
its election year.

February 4, 2004
by: Victor Cote

Southern Saskatchewan. But there is more, in addition to the tough winter Cadilla
has had a bowl water situation with its water supply since 2001.

 Foiled- Tuesday
February 3, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : We have a tendence to believe, quite incorrectly
by the way, "that things in nature are without malace or evil intent. Like
other animals birds are thought to just respond to their instincts and live their
lives as they were designed to do." That concept is a myth. Waxwings are
evil, they harbour vandalistic thoughts toward me, my camera and especially my van.
Not only do they resent me, but they pass on their dislike from generation to generation.
This is not paranoia it is evidence based bias on my part and theirs.

February 3, 2004
by: Stu Innes
Regina: Regina is working its way out of the snow from
this past weekend and as with all things there can be problems. Stu Innes lives on

snow that effectively imprisoned a neighbour's car.
