 The Bush administration breaks international
laws: First with the war against Iraq and now with the ousting of Haitian
President Aristide- Wednesday
March 10, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The president of Haiti says he was forced out of
office by the Americans and the US Secretary of State Colin Powell says he wasn't
but then Mr. Powell thinks every truck in pre-war Iraq was a weapons factory. International
law is real but the United States has chosen over and over to ignore any responsibility
to the world and how things are legally done.

 The questionable
use of 9/11 images in Bush’s TV ads: Was 9/11 luck or Bush’s No Fault
Government?- Friday
March 5, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Though many question the appropriate use of
images from the 9/11 tragedy it is far more disconcerting to take into account the
actions of the US government that may or may not have been linked to the event. The
commission looking into the event is not getting much administrative cooperation
and there may be a good reason for that.

 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

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

this time for him to fix the election.
