Raving about Sex
Thursday
March 4, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Using the practical and successful approach to life that our intelligent neighbours the Ravens demonstrate, this is a discussion about sex education, pro-life and nose in other people's business that seems to revolve around every discussion about sex and sexuality. Keep in mind that Ravens live a little more than one third the length of our lives and they too have to deal with same sex marriage, pre-marital sex and adolescence. When you go to this story you can listen to it by clicking on the QuickTime arrow beneath the picture at the top of the page.

The roots of economic and social divisions:Anti social banking practices and privatisation
Thursday
March 4, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : While in the short term there is economic ruin with more problems expected in the spring but there now is hope. Senator John Kerry will be the Democratic candidate to face Bush in November and it may be harder this time for him to fix the election.

Tim's Tip of the Day

I tried the two for $2.22 hot dogs at 7/11 today and two quotes came to mind. From the 1971 movie "Sudden Impact" Dirty Harry says; "God this stuff isn't getting to me - the shootings, the knifings, the beatings. Old ladies being bashed in the head for their social security checks. Nah that doesn't bother me. But you know what does bother me? You know what makes me really sick to my stomach? It's watching you stuff your face with those hotdogs! Nobody - I mean nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog!"
But there is another movie quote about hot dogs. After being in Australia Crocodile Dundee comes to the US and his new girl friend introduces him to a hot dog from a street vendor, he looks at it disbelief and she quotes him when he referred to beans and a reptile while in the Outback, she says : "tastes like s--- but you can live on it"

Kevin's find of the day

Divorce demands for Lionel Richie
Lionel and his wife have been divorced for five months and its time for a settlement. His former wife wants $300,000 a month to make ends meet. Lionel was lead singer with the Commodores and punched out some memorable stuff. To hear him say "say you say me" click here. (600K)

Ensign Notes

New departmet added to Ensign today, the happenings spot (below). Yesterday I included in Kevin's find a song sung by Lionel Richie but it was really a Stevie Wonder song so we have revised that with a real Lionel Richie song. Thanks to Andy Trump for pointing that out.

Bus time at the Elementary School
Wednesday
March 3, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Though the recent build up of snow has made the problem more apparent, the route and movement of buses to and from the Elementary school continues to be a sore spot with both the neighbourhood and everyone trying to use the streets both in the morning and at hometime each day.

Learning for a lifetime
Tuesday
March 2, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : This afternoon a TMSS class took advantage of perfect snow conditions, moderate temperatures and the desire to accomplish a skill that they will be able to do all of their lives. With the Doghide trail just across the street the conditions were ideal.

Big Dig - Open Pit Mine in Regina
Tuesday
March 2, 2004
by : Ken Jones
Regina : Only two weeks left in the huge deepening of Wascana Lake in the middle of Regina.

Web difficult to unravel
Tuesday
March 2, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls : The sponsorship programme began more than a decade ago and the trail on some of the culprits is pretty cold. It is going to be interesting to see how much blame will be heeped on Mr. Gagliano.

Regime Change in Haiti: A Coup By Any Other Name
Tuesday
March 2, 2004
by : Mark Weisbrot
Washington : So much for all that rhetoric about the United States being a freedom loving democracy supporting country. The United States backed the murderous dictators of the past and with the CIA supported terrorism in Haiti to destabilise the government and finally on Sunday they outright forced the democratically elected leader out of office.

Looks like a lamb to me
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Since February 7 it is just another day of overcast skies. Today there was a little snow this morning to break up the monotony of the dull sky but the temperature stayed above -5º all day, that pretty much means that March has once again come in like a lamb.

The Greenwater Report
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : Time for a trip over to Manitoba for some hockey and visiting. Our sympathy at the loss of a hard drive.

Little promise in the Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilisation Programme
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : George Hickie
Waldron : It is ironic that Agriculture Canada put a rainbow on their page explaining a programme that is pure myth. There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and for Saskatchewan agriculture there isn't even a pot to . . . Things are grim and the nature of federal politics suggests that myths are all that remain.

Congratulations
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : Cassandra Shire
Winnipeg : Entertainer Rosie O'Donelle learned the hard way about the down side of not being married when she was involved in a nasty lawsuit with her magazine publisher. Her spouse for many years was forced to give testamony since she was not married to Rosie.

Crash report
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Bad things are when you have regrettable consequences, good things are when you screw up and avoid regrettable consequences.

Motorised sliding
Sunday
February 29, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : For the past week we have had warm temperatures, low ceilings and sometimes fog. On Wednesday I spotted these young people enjoying themselves in the old primary school playground then two adults doing the same leaving town.

The Orwellian state of Newspeak’s Doubleplusgood:The intersection of the privatised Rule of Law and Terrorism
Sunday
February 29, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The black art of deception takes many forms and it seems that trimming and crafting the terms used to describe things and events has taken the lead in this never ending struggle to keep ahead of the truth. No part of a society is left unaffected when the words are the weapons.

Viva Valdy Live at Last and other stuff
Sunday
February 29, 2004
by : Donna Bromm
Tisdale : Friday night Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard performed for an appreciative audience here is what the concert was like.

Download successful
Saturday
February 28, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Last night's snowfall turned out to be about eight inches or so on our steps. It is damp and a nuisance but will add to this year's spring run off, at least that's what we are all telling ourselves as we shoveled it off sidewalks and driveways.

Governor General's Purpose, Mandate, Benefits, Costs and Constitution
Saturday
February 28, 2004
by : Robert Ede
Richmond Hill, Ontario : Most Canadians have little opportunity to understand the Canadian Constitution because oddly enough it is rarely covered in Canadian school courses. Mr. Ede is not a fan of the structure of Canadian government so it is important for you to find out what he objects to and consider for yourself the merits of this, rather than the US style republican form of government.

Americans are all Protectionists Now
Saturday
February 28, 2004
by : Mark Weisbrot
Washington : The past thirty years have seen the greatest redistribution of wealth in American history as the median wage gained 7% and the over all income has risen by 85%. This article points out the obvious and that is that rich folks are definitely for Global economy and free trade because it enhances their income as they are protected.

CanadaLife and the Royal Bank of Canada stealing from honest people like me
Saturday
February 28, 2004
by : Eric deSantis
Saskatoon : We have all had these phone calls "free for the first two months" that will be just a little added protection for you. Most of us say "no". But what if you say no and they just go ahead and clip your account anyway? The Royal has made off with $319.50 from a college student claiming its his fault because he didn't notice they were stealing from him. Their claim that they didn't steal because they weren't caught makes you wonder about the ethics of Canada's largest bank.

Is this the one to wrap up of the season, or . . .is this the opener of the season wrap up?
Friday
February 27, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Just under a block of visibility, wet snow falling with a temperature of -2 and about ten knots of wind from the North. Lovely, we expect to see about 15cm of snow out of this and highways are all clear though the visibility is troublesome with a weather warning still in effect at 5:00 when these pictures were taken.

Agratime
Friday
February 27, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Weekes : As the temperature edges upward the thoughts of everyone in this part of the world move toward the primary industry. Farmers are moving their grain to the terminals and it is definitely time to talk about farm business.
