We Could Use A Little Vision, Pride, And Resolve Ourselves
Friday, January 31, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Clearly a much different view of the US president's state of the union address than others expressed on this site. Ron Thornton admires the President's stance on launching a war against Iraq and wishes that Canada would also lower its taxes to stimulate economic growth.

Cows With Guns
Friday, January 31, 2003
by: Dana Lyons
On Thursday morning CBC's Sheila Coles did a story on toys in pig barns and decided that was good enough excuse to play the novelty song, "Cows With Guns." Here is the song and its words, you will need QuickTime to hear this song. The song is 924K and will launch automatically when you go to this page.

President Bush Inc.: Concocting a war against Iraq to liberate its oil
Thursday, January 30, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The lack of a plausible argument for the American quest to depose the government of Iraq leaves the only logical conclusion as Mario deSantis points out the commonly held belief that the motivation, the only motivation for this intended aggression is the need for inexpensive oil.

War Decision Defining Moment
Wednesday, January 29, 2003
by: Richard Neuman
If you read nothing else about the American invasion of Iraq go over this article very carefully. Richard Neuman identifies the consequences and warns of the dangers if United States ignores the UN and NATO and what that will mean for us as a country. A simple but powerful document that clarifies the issue.

On president Bush's prescriptions for a better world: More tax cuts and more wars to make peace
Wednesday, January 29, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
If the problems of the world were easily solved with basic solutions then our world would be a utopia. Human beings act upon a wide range of stimuli and the "American Way" was a complete bust in the old West now it would appear gunslingers and sheriffs are about to take over the world.

The Maple Leaf Forever
Tuesday, January 28, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Canadian eh! Much more that hockey, rocky mountains and being polite.

The Vancouver International Motorcycle Show
Tuesday, January 28, 2003

Early election issue
Tuesday, January 28, 2003
by: Mike Reilly

The Greenwater Report
Monday, January 27, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Its been cold out there but the Loppet was held. Gerrys trying to cope with dribbling dogs , the pie is a killer and "gem" jars make a comeback.

The Kaibab Deer and Bush's War: The Wrong Public Policies of Killings & Quick Fixes
Monday, January 27, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The simple principles that product the exact opposite consequence of what was intended is ever so likely to result from the overwhelming intent by the United States to launch an unwarranted war on Iraq.

Checked out a book lately?
Sunday, January 26, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Here is your chance to visit Tisdale's public library. There is a need for a word of caution, if you are accessing this site using a dial up connection this page will take a will to download as it includes a 1.7 MB QuickTime VR of the library's interior. This also is a test page using a ten inch rather than an eight inch format. I would appreciate feedback on this new wider design.

A sign of the times
Saturday, January 25, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
On Robbie Burns day there are some of us who consider the past and the roots of our culture, how remote from even the recent past is the meaning of the sign seen here late this afternoon. (Check the reference with this story)

Maintenance Free Life Forms
Saturday, January 25, 2003
by: Michael Townsend
Simple is often what we make it and in Mike's case it looks like he has found two companions to share his life with and this pair have a lesson to teach us.
