American Trade Deficit and Jobs Losses: Econometric correlation
to the undervalued Chinese currency 'yuan/renminbi' - Wednesday
October 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin / The Great Wall near Bejing: Economists and
political commentary on television love to use number to support their arguments
and points of view. Ultimately, this practice is truly misleading and ignores so
many contribution factors which, had they been considered, would have lead to quite
different conclusions. The United States is in financial trouble and blames
China for its woes when it is the cause of its own problems. This story explains
the missing parts that CNN's Lou Dobbs should have been able to explain, but
could not. As always, Mr. deSantis has provided you with some amazing references
that deal with this issue and what it means for the world economy.

Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Take charge of this provincial election. Do what you can to ignore what the parties
want you to know and concentrate on the issues that concern you and what you want
to know. When you know what's important to you drop by the candidate's offices and
place your questions. It is your responsiblity to be informed and demand the information
that will allow you to make an informed decision. |

 Shanghai 'singing into the ground' This story in Australia's

structures is descending at about an eighth of a inch a year. |

 China's economic
experience: social tension, controlled privatization and sustained
economic growth- Tuesday
October 7, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: We are so often told that there is only one
way to success and that's the American way. This story and the referenced material
it relies upon suggests that quite the contrary is true. There are many ways for
a country huge or tiny to find success in its own way unique to its culture and traditions.

 Isabel- Monday
October 6, 2003
Somewhere in the Atlantic: Every so often a picture gets sent from friend to friend
so that after a short while there is no way of knowing were it came from. Ken Styan
got this image and passed it along and even though we have no way of crediting the
photographer it seems appropriate that you have a chance to see this remarkable scene.

 Our Tree- Sunday
October 5, 2003
by: Timothy W, Shire
Tisdale: This huge poplar (Aspen) tree by our back door

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.

Leonard Asper- Friday
October 3, 2003

Nipawin: The Global television network and most of Canada's

has provided you with a link to this interesting document and gives us he impression
of the implications.

 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.
