Liberals blunder in Missinippi riding
Tuesday
January 8, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Joan Beatty is a natural for the massive northern riding that is about half the land mass of Saskatchewan but she is a sitting NDP member of the legislature and the Liberal riding association is holding an emergency meeting Saturday to plan their own nominating convention for the riding. So much of Dion's leadership.

Greek Orthodox Christmas Day
Monday
January 7, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: School resumes today, the temperature is above average and we are all settled into the new year although it is still a chore to think of this as 2008.
Leadership-prinzip replacing democracy in Canadian politics
Saturday
January 5, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: It is becomming the norm for party leaders to omit the selection of candidates by their ridings and appoint candidates themselves. This is not good for democracy.
A good reason not to live in the Maritimes
Thursday
January 3, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Unusually moderate weather has swept in with the new year as we almost moved above freezing in Tisdale today.
2008 the year of the salamander
Monday
December 31, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Federal elections expected in both Canada and the United States this coming year while the US economy threatens to suck under the economy of much of the world all the while politics and economics are concerned with the stuff of dinosaurs, yes, oil remains an issue to be dealt witn what ever form it takes.
2008 Lincoln Mark Z
Friday
December 28, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire

Christmas future
Friday
December 21, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire

Christmas past
Thursday
December 20, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: We began our exploration of Christmas by discussing Christmas of the present yesterday in "What if. . ." today we deal with nostalga and Christmas past.
What if . . .
Wednesday
December 19, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: A the heart of the woes we can find this Christmas are two things, to much communication and to much commericialisation. Neither are new but they are combining to move each of us closer to the point where we actually wonder, what if there was no Christmas.
Cold comfort
Monday
December 17, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Winter, can be not so bad. Of course everything is relative and as seasons go winter has both its rewards and its penalties. Fortunately for us the penalties went East this past weekend.
The Greenwater report
Monday
December 17, 2007
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Some people collect stamps others coins but Gerald collects friends, friends by the score and this week he tells us about the folks who have been part of his life in the past and now rediscovered hiding in Saskatoon. The Crawfords celebrate Doreen's birthday and give us a snowmobile report for the park.
Why China and India laugh at Stephen Harper's climate targets
Friday
December 14, 2007
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria B.C.: Canada has been condemned at the Bali conference for leading the United States side of things in washing out meaningful climate targets. Our Prime Minister reflects his Alberta and pro-American stance to the shame of his country.
That city look
Thursday
December 13, 2007
Images by: Matthew Shire
Regina: Matthew takes us along with him as he drives down the Lewvan or what we all still call Pasqua Street in Regina. The pictures tell us about the city and the character of its cityscape.
Still standing
Wednesday
December 12, 2007
by: Gordon MacKinnon
North Central Saskatchewan: Almost on a monthly basis bits and pieces of Saskatchewan history are disappearing. These pictures were taken this fall and show a few examples of things still standing that were once the focus of their communities at one time.
Winter wonderland
Tuesday
December 11, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Highway #2: This winter's snow has truly dressed up the forest between LaRonge and Prince Albert. I made the trip up to LaRonge Friday and back Monday and here are some pictures taken along the way.
Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus)
Monday
December 10, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
LaRonge: I had always associated the arctic grouse with the Northwest Territories or Yukon but it seems they also like Saskatchewan. These guys were on Lac LaRonge enjoying their winter vacation in the South.
The Greenwater report
Monday
December 10, 2007
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: It seems like the Crawfords are settling in sorting out the subcultures from Foam Lake, Wynyard and many parts of northeastern Saskatchewan who now make their home in Saskatoon. But Gerald works in an ice condition and fishing report to keep us up to date on things at the park.
Tisdale Post Office offers free slip and slide zone
Monday
December 10, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: No change from last week. With only a light dusting of snow during the night the situation in front of the post office today was totally unacceptable.
