- St. Therese
Park, a place of peace
- Wednesday, July 9, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Where Tisdale's hospital once stood the park with its walking pathes, flower beds
and trees is one of the best places in the whole town. Quiet and calm prevail on
its lawns and park benches as you can see in today's QuickTime Virtual Reality image
of the area. If you don't have QuickTime
download it, it is free and easy to install, once in your computer it does its
work without intrusion.

Ensign Notes
|
| Summer holidays: That's right, 2003 is the first year since 1991 that we have had
a chance to take a holiday. During June, July and the first two weeks of August we
will have some intermittant days when Ensign will not post. Our plan is to do some
tripping and camping here in Saskatchewan. Posting today as we will be away until
Sunday night and will post Monday July 14, Bastille Day. |

 Understanding and Peace is a matter of
Integral Language, Dementia and War is a matter of Policed Brainwashing- Wednesday, July 9, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Fair warning, this is a complex story, but you will have to read it a couple of times
for the message to sink in and if you do not check out the reference to the Kuwait
parliament you will definitely be lost. No one ever said figuring things out was
going to be easy.

 Missing Middle Class- Wednesday, July 9, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
The constant complaining about taxes is simply dull and perhaps short sighted thinking
being expressed by those unable to see the big picture. We don't need to reduce
taxes we need more tax payers. We need income sufficient to afford the society our
country is more than able to provide every citizen of this country and this story
spells out a simple means to solving our problems.

 The freer Free
Market salaries of Canadian senior public servants: The case of Canada
Post CEO Andre Ouellet- Wednesday, July 9, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The post office is raising the cost of a postage stamp by a penny but the boss of
the corporation, Liberal hack, Andre Ouellet is getting a pay raise to half a million
a year. Nice job.

 Hello Mr. Robinson:
Canadian Walter Robinson kisses the Bush Assets- Tuesday, July 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Many think that just cutting down on the size of government would make things better.
Mario deSantis presents quite a different argument and it is illustrated by a shocking
graph that shows the growth of jobs under the various American presidents in the
past and not since the thirties has the American economy done as poorly as under
George W. Bush.

 Summertime reality TV (Episode
1): Survivor - taxpayers on CCRA Island- Tuesday, July 8, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
This is an interesting take on the tax situation in Canada, instead of focusing on
the way the Canadian middle class has lost much of its earning power Mr. Robinson
concentrates on the upper and lower scale of the income earners in this country who
now bare the burden of the economy because the once large middle class has been so
greatly reduced.

 In Search Of Intelligent Life- Tuesday, July 8, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
There is often cause for us to feel dissolutioned about the way things seem to be
going and this seems to be one of those days when Ron Thornton is having trouble
finding a silver lining.

fun at Gronlid last Saturday afternoon. This includes 46 pictures so just click on

 Bringing administration of
justice into disrepute- Sunday, July 6, 2003
by: Joe Hueglin
The gun registry legislation has come into effect six days ago and no one can find
value or saftey in the massive amounts of money spent on this exceptionally silly
programme. Joe Hueglin questions the damage this programme is doing to the whole
of Canada's justice system as it devalues both the courts and the respect Canadians
normally demonstrate for the laws of the land.

 The regressive streamlining administration
of the Insurance Industry- Sunday, July 6, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
To make up for stock market losses Canada's Insurance industry is cutting service
and raising premiums all a part of their "streamlining" process.

 Automated Sprinklers- Saturday, July 5, 2003
by: Kevin McIntyre
Fidling with sprinklers, getting your feet wet and making a general mess is how I
water the garden but Kevin has put together a system that involves going out on the
deck and selecting the appropriate valves, job done. All for $150.

 Paul Martin and Harry Potter- Friday, July 4, 2003
by: Rudy Fernandes
The man is a Wizard, absolutely no doubt about it as the press and media have fallen
under a spell and the support of terrorist groups, off shore banking and his company's
continued pocket filling at the public's expense all are invisible and ignored.

By: Rebecca Gingrich
Here is something you can do, after reading both Rebecca's letter to the ministers
of Agriculture and Health you too might want to make a recommendation of your own.

 Gazebo- Thursday, July 3, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
A vast expanse of lawn may have some interest but its function is dubious. A Quill
Lake family have a solution put a point of interest on that big lawn, something that
will be pleasing to the eye and something that invites involvement.

 Is Bush not technically untrue, or is
he just a liar?- Thursday, July 3, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The references on this story indicate the extent to which journalists and doubters
have gone to realise the fabrication of Iraq evidence of weapons of mass destruction.
