Ensign Notes
.Happenings In Tisdale:

The saga of modern medical care

Wednesday
November 22, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Since the 1998 beginning of this web site we have hashed over and over the issues of health care and the form it takes in our society. Much of our problem with the system is the very nature of our democratic and freedom loving society. There are no solutions here but a good deal of troubling thoughts.

Dawn Lacey, music and poetry, November 25, 3:00 at the Tisdale Library

 

Tuesday

by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Music and poetry from one of Saskatchewan's folk artists. Dawn has spent the last few years in Yellowknife and tells her original stories in verse and song. She will be making a personal appearance at the Tisdale Library on Saturday but also in Melfort and Saskatoon.

David Anderson's view of the CWB

 

Tuesday
November 21, 2006
by : Henry Neufeld
Waldeck : The ideology not the economics or practicality of issues like the Canadian Wheat Board are hard to argue rationally. Member of parliament David Anderson sees no reason to rely on facts and figures but bases his arguments for the disbanning of the institution on simplton ideological theory. That may be politics but it will not pay the bills down on the farm.

The Greenwater Report

 

Tuesday

by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : Craft sales and history books occupy our intrepid reporter's mind this week as he dashes from one sumptous luncheon to another all the while there is a raid in progress at the bird feeders.

Language Frame and Democracy: Senge, Lakoff, Emanual/Reed, Denning and Moyers

 

Thursday
November 16, 2006
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert : Though difficult to conceive we are an intellectual abstract form of life and our actions and motivation is largely shaped by the words we use. Words that form a framework for thoughts and since we depend so heavily upon communication the future of our society hangs in the balance of what we mean.

Time has left them behind

November 15, 2006

Welcome to Winter

 

Tuesday
November 14, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire

November 13, 2006

Same Sex Marriage - Beyond Notwithstanding ...there's disallowance

 

Monday
November 13, 2006
by : Robert Ede
Thornhill Ontario : The Harper government wants to re-open and debate same sex marriage legislation and it would appear that most members of parliament have no interest in doing that but it doesn't matter the rules can sort matters like this out.

"...and peace be with you..."

 

Thursday
November 9, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : It would be nice for the sun to shine but at this time of the year we often get weeks of solid overcast and we have to learn to deal with the glum. Dealing with things is part of living and for many of us a very difficult part of our day to day experience.

Intergration into the United States

 

Wednesday
November 8, 2006
by : David Orchard
Borden : Canadians have strugged with their national identity since confederation and yet we are making progress as we come to understand better and better how we are not like Americans. Oddly enough, we now have a prime minister who does not share that same view as his countrymen and instead seems hell bent on rounding up the country and heading south to embrace Yankee values.

November 8, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
