Our Tree
Sunday
October 5, 2003
by: Timothy W, Shire
Tisdale: This huge poplar (Aspen) tree by our back door is an enormous show off and rarely a day goes by that it does not some how impose itself on the affairs of or lives. Now it has turned to gold and by Thanksgiving will be nude.

Swift Current Civic Election and the Casino
Sunday
October 5, 2003
by: Edwin Wallace
Swift Current: The spread of First Nation run casinos in Saskatchewan has been the promised magic pill to solve economic woes as one city or community after another things they are going to become the next great Las Vegas. This "iffy" question is before the folks in Swift Current and it is interesting to hear what Edwin Wallace has to say about it as he feels the business community has lined as cheerleaders to back a questionable and definitely not proven idea.

Tim's Tip of the Day

Digital photography: The most startling advantage to using a digital camera is being able to the take the pictures that would cost you something using film but with digital you have nothing to lose and you just might hit the jackpot and capture and unforgettable image. Night photography is tricking and costly but with a digital camera you can experiment.

Kevin's find of the day

Friday
October 3, 2003

Paving the roads with gas tax: Paul Martin’s conversion on the road to 24 Sussex Drive
Friday
October 3, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: Paul Martin as Canada's finance minister found many many ways to grab tax dollars from Canadians under various excuses then plowed that money into general revenue instead of using it for what it was originally collected.

In search of breakfast
Friday
October 3, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: With Hannigans closed a lot of Tisdale people have had their world seriously upset so it is the editor's quest to find a place to fill the bill for a weekly breakfast, or a daily one for that matter. This story reviews Chicken Delight's breakfast and the "farmer's" breakfast at A&W.

The Free Market of Journalism: Leonard Asper
Friday
October 3, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The Global television network and most of Canada's newspaper are controlled by the Asper family from Winnipeg. Yesterday, Leonard wrote an editorial in which he spells out what he thinks about things and it is implied that his employees if they wish to remain employees had better agree. Mario deSantis has provided you with a link to this interesting document and gives us he impression of the implications.

Friday
October 3, 2003

Thursday

The Race to the Bottom of the Free Market
Thursday
October 2, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It seems that to increase profits, the goal of business, is resulting in a never ending search for lower and lower wages that increases the widening gap between extreme wealth and extreme poverty, world wide. To add to this exaggerated devolution the United States has reintroduced warfare as a business strategy.

Trojans win season opener over Beardy's Blackhawks
Wednesday
October 1, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire

American Wars as an expansion of the privatisation of the Free Market: John Pilger shows the truth behind the war on terror
Wednesday
October 1, 2003
by: Mario deSantis

Sneaking Under
Wednesday
October 1, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Clever work avoided the digging up of the main street through Tisdale this week as repairs to a water line were carried out by drilling under the street.

Hannigan's closes
Wednesday
October 1, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The club house for hundreds of Tisdale folks closed today. After nine years owner Garry McPeak said that two issues made operating just to much of a burden, staffing and fixed costs that seem to grow each year.

The splendor of fall 2003
Tuesday
September 30, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: On this last day of September I took a short drive into the country and want to share with you the beauty of the colour of the country-side. This story has two QuickTime Virtual Reality Panoramas of 1MB each so this page will take a while to open on a dial up connection but the scenes are worth the wait.

Alfalfa seed
Tuesday
September 30, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The crop to be harvested each year is alfalfa when it is grown for seed. Most of Tisdale's alfalfa goes to the dehydration plant but the fields are finished for this year and the dehy plant is already cooking baled alfalfa but the fields of alfalfa in seed production are now being harvested.

Bush Growing More Vulnerable on Credibility, War, and the Economy
Tuesday
September 30, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Washington: The tide of reality has shifted, Mark Weisbrot explains the importance of both Democrats and doubting Republicans who have begun to speak out strongly about the deception carried on by the Administration of the United States government.

Monday
September 29, 2003

The Crawfords are off on another jaunt but we get to hear about owls, Gerald's days as a CNR operator and a new guy in town.

Bridging the divide of an upsidedown world: Critical thinking with System Dynamics
Monday
September 29, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The devolution of the third world continues largely orchestrated by the United States as it sells more weapons than any other country and the gap between rich and poor widens. Perhaps its time to think of this problem some other way.
