 Bush in Africa:
Compassionate Protectionism?- Monday, July 14, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
The United States President took five days to tour Africa yet after a year of promising
aid to assist in the AIDS epidemic no money has been spent. African countries spend
far more each year paying interest on debts to the IMF and World bank than they spend
on health and education.

 Is President Bush lying?
The truth is in the eye of the beholder, think for yourself- Monday, July 14, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The American President and his staff are busy defending the use of a forged document
more than a year old claiming that Iraq was trying to purchase Uranium from Niger.
In the face of such incredible information you are being asked to simply think this
one through for yourself. But to help you look into it the references with this
story lay out the confusion.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.
