November 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story just gives you a hint of the very disturbing political issue
that is endangering our little planet. Mr. deSantis has provided you with an outstanding

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| Its flu season, if your feeling poorly, keep it at home until you feel better. Honestly
we all forget that these things are very contageous and bed rest, fluids and a little
chicken soup are better than a prolonged illness for you and your neighbours. |

Kevin's find of the day
|

over penis ad. (PDF) This story by Adam Tanner appeared in a San Francisco
paper about a fellow lost his self control when he began having his computer overwhelmed
with spam. |

 On a winter's
day- Friday
November 21, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Here are a set of pictures taken Thursday and
today that tell of the wonder of a winter day. Few people from this part of the world
dread winter but welcome it for what life changes its brings and of course there
is nothing you can do about it but make the best of a challenging experience.

 Loading the dice- Friday
November 21, 2003
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: Things to do not add up. The constitution
of the Progressive Conservative Party and the statements made by its leader seem
to be in direct conflict with one another and the whole process underway is simply
wrong in every sense of the word.

 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.

 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?
