Beginnings and endings
Wednesday
November 19, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Frost then snow closes in on our part of the world as this year winds down and the promise of another seems to have some truly interesting prospects. This story presents some pictures of scenes this later afternoon, early evening was thoughts of new prime ministers, old prime ministers, new governments and new governments seem very much like the fog about us.

The Big Farce of Free Speech in the Free Market: President George Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
Wednesday
November 19, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Weapons of mass destruction, regime change, freeing the people of Iraq from a dictator all of these excuses to go to war seem so hollow now as it becomes increasingly apparent that none of those things were the objective. Now they flail away with rhetoric about terrorism when they themselves define terrorism as attacks upon civilians while their forces are the only forces attacking civilians and the people of Iraq are fighting back against soldiers and they call that terrorism. You would wonder how they can go on day after day telling thes tales, tales that even they can not believe.

Tim's Tip of the Day

Macintosh users, if you have a G3 (iMac) or newer and you have been putting off moving to OS X nows the time. Panther OS 10.3 is faster, better and offers new screen action that spees up and makes your use of the computer much easier.

Kevin's find of the day

Jews upset by pastor's mail-out aimed at 'saving' them. (PDF) This Star Phoenix story by Mark Taylor tells of a Regina Baptist minister who has gone through phone books and sent out mail to people with Jewish sounding names urging them to convert and be "saved". Looks like the primative intellectually challenged nature of fundamentalist religion is far from a thing of the past.

November 22...Forty Years Later
Wednesday
November 19, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: What if! Indeed we can only speculate as to what would have happened had the American President not been shot and killed forty years ago. Every life has profound affects on history but this one life had already set a course that had and still has affects today.

Philip Lindenback, December 29, 1914 to November 14, 2003
Tuesday
November 18, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Weekes: One of Saskatchewan's great "letter to the editor" writers will no longer be make further submissions. His insight and wisedom in the past meant a lot to all of us and this man is going to be missed.

The Conservative Party of Canada is on the same course as the Titanic
Tuesday
November 18, 2003
by: Al Gullon
Ottawa: The indications are that the Canadian Alliance members have been buying up Progressive Conservative memberships to control the vote in the merger of the two parties. Al Gullon, who has been deeply involved in his riding of Ottawa South's policy formulation points out that there is a way to control this problem. If it isn't controlled the new party is doomed.

Pocket Ashtray
Tuesday
November 18, 2003
by: Cassandra Loiselle
Winnipeg: At a time when smoking is falling in the population and governments across the country are doing everything they can to discourage people from starting smoking and the need for folks to quit is greater than ever, with all this on the go Winnipeg has chosen this time to introduce a pocket ashtray. What's next, walkmen 45rpm record players?

Monday
November 17, 2003

The Greenwater report
Monday
November 17, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford

Grey Cup Parade
Monday

by: R. W. Shire
Regina: Here are fifteen pictures of Saturday's Grey Cup parade as they made the turn from 12th Ave. onto Albert.

A World of Hypocrisy: Bush's Lies and U.S. Crony Capitalism
Friday
November 14, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: There is a climate that is arising and even though we share in the pride of the high thoughts of our former and new Prime Minister they come in the light of the sad betrayal of Maher Arar and William Samson. It is this divergence of reality that confounds us and Mario really only hints at the widening gap between what is really happening and what we are being told. The United States has created a mess and is about to make more mess by abandoning the country they destroyed over the lies they have told. Similarly their economy is crumbling while we are told they are recovering. This short story has some powerful references that give the exploring reader a chance to see more clearly what is indeed happening.

Country Gifts and Crafts 2003
Thursday
November 13, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Open at 4:00 today and the sale going on tomorrow and Saturday once again the shopping season begins with this remarkable display of art and craft products.

Small business is big business in small town Saskatchewan
Wednesday
November 12, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The success of a rural community does not only depend upon the primary industry which for most of Saskatchewan is agriculture, but it depends upon diversification with small business shouldering the responsibility for a pluralistic economy.

Differing Policy Directions
Wednesday
November 12, 2003
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock B.C.: With Progressive Conservatives actually protesting the merger of the two political parties in Vancouver today we find out in this short but to the point comparison of Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance policies which essentially are completely opposite to one another.
