Tim's Tip of the Day

It is a remarkably fine balancing act each of us must perform each day as we weigh what we believe to be facts, our senses, what others tell us and our gut emotional responses. It is no wonder that we as people so often draw such conflicting conclusions to what seem to be identical data. Perhaps it would be wise to cut each other a little more slack.

Kevin's find of the day

A girl with an X-ray vision. This amazing Russian story from Pravda tells of a teenage girl, Natalya Demkina from Saransk who has develop the ability to see the internal organs of people. Apparently causing quite a stir in Russia and the girl wants to become a doctor.

Ensign Notes

It seems I am always slipping further and further behind and getting later and later each day. I am hoping that the major upgrade to my computer will result in a boost of productivity.


A permanent target for the Air Farce chicken cannon
Thursday
January 15, 2004
by: Bruce Frederick
Cobble Hill, B.C.: I can think of no other character in political life who has been more of a let down and perhaps much worse than Peter MacKay. Ah, some will point out the problems of Stockwell Day, yet they are minon in comparison to the man that promises, signs and deal, kills a political party and stays on as an example of bad judgement.

Privatising Justice at the expense of public interest: President Bush, Saskatchewan Justice Minister Frank Quennel, Premier Berlusconi
Thursday
January 15, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The equation that determines who is being served by governmental action is something that so often seems much less apparent than it should. The assumption that we have government and authority to serve and protect the over all good for all people is so often discretionary and sadly sometimes just plainly self serving by the elected official.

Boil Water order for Tisdale
Wednesday
January 14, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Tuesday morning town waterworks people discovered a chlorination unit on a well did not kick in and untreated water had pumped into the system over night. As a result the boil water warning was issued and will not be lifted until chlorine levels rise throughout the town water system.

Despotism and the hypocrisy of the top 1% class: A game of lies at the expense of people at large
Wednesday
January 14, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story is just a brief summary of the research that went into its conclusions. It is clear that there is something very rotten in the republic to the South of us as the wealth of that nation is consolidating in only the smallest minority of people. This is not just an American problem because a similar trend is occuring here, it is simply unavoidable because of the integrated economy that has evolved.

Not a Nieuport but a Camel
Tuesday
January 13, 2003
by: Brian D. Marlatt
White Rock, B.C. : Yes I should have known two guns instead of one. Brian gives us some details on one of the most outstanding fighters in history and built by a company that continues to produce outstanding aircraft to this very day.

Catch 22 for the Tories
Tuesday
January 13, 2004
by: Brad Thomson
Ottawa : Brad wrote this story on December 31, 2003 but I was unable to post it until today and it seems like the perfect time to do so with Peter MacKay announcing this morning that he is unable to participate in the contest for leadership of the newly merged Conservative Party. But Brad's is not the last word on this subject as we post two other stories on the same topic one by Joe Heuglin and the other by Bruce Federick.

The hypocrisy of conventional economic gurus: Exporting America and combating terrorism
Tuesday
January 13, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story and its wealth of references point out the preculiar and conflicting conclusions that the economic gurus have drawn about the negative economic conditions that are engulfing the world as a result of the selfish behaviour of the United States.

PC party loyalists reconstitute the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada
Tuesday
January 13, 2004
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: This news release came out last Friday and unfortunately we were unable to post at that time but with MacKays announcement not to run for leadership of the Conservative Party this story takes on a new meaning and has some long reaching consequences in the coming spring election.

The Greenwater Report
Monday
January 12, 2004
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: We did not have a picture to go with last week's Greenwater report so today's report includes both this week's report and last week's column. Looks like Gerald is coping pretty well with the snowfall yesterday and Saturday night.

The Scandal of the Century: Saskatchewan Authorities found guilty of malicious prosecution
Monday,
January 12, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The trial is over and the judge has ruled that the prosecutor, the police investigator and a therapist all worked together to maliciously prosecute a number of people sending one person to jail for a crime that not only did the accused not committ but a crime that never ever occurred. This story gives some insight into the thoughts that went into the judge's decision.

John would have liked it
Wednesday
January 10, 2004
Saskatoon: On Sunday we were at the John Diefenbaker airport in Saskatoon. Though Saskatoon has every reason to be proud of the renovated city owned facility I am certain the old guy would be so pleased to have his name on this portal. This story includes a QuickTime VR of the inside of the airport.

Icy wind from the North
Friday
January 2, 2004
Tisdale: How appropriate to begin the new year with appropriate weather. It was noon when we produced the pictures for this story and -21ºC with a nasty North wind. The story includs a QuickTime Virtual Reality Panorama.(400K)

2004 as it looks from here
Thursday
January 1, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Yes its time once again to gaze deeply into the salad bowl and come up with some insights into the new year.

Europe and Italy
Wednesday
December 31, 2003
From: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Mario is a regular serious contributor to this site and today he is bringing us a little humor. We all know how intense Mario and his fellow country-men can get but it is equally true that a fine sense of the ideosyncracies of Italians and their way of life.

New Advents Facing a New Year
Tuesday
December 30, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: The new year is filled with adventure for those who follow and support politics in this fair land. The new Conservative Party is anointing Stephen Harper and the new prime minister will send us all to the polls in the spring. Ah! just the winter to get through.
