Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Every person who puts their name up for public office deserves your admiration and
respect because no matter how much you may disagree with them they have made a choice
to set aside some of their life to serve the public. Some no doubt enter the world
of politics for their own personal reasons but in the end they work for us if elected
and if not elected their efforts further the democratic process. |
|
Kevin's find of the day
|
 GPD: Teen used nude photos, Net to swindle. The
Gainesville Sun (Florida) story by Lise Fisher involves a minor using
his computer to blackmail a man over the Internet. |
|
Ensign Notes
|
| Tomorrow watch for a video clip of Saskatchewan Party candidate, Allan Kerpan |

their time indoors.
|

 Election platforms
lacking key components- Monday
October 20, 2003
by: David MacLean
Regina: On first reading it sounds like Mr. Maclean
is coming out pretty strongly in favour of the Saskatchewan's tax cutting plans for
the province but his real message is that all three parties are not paying attention
for the need for fiscal responsibility and debt retirement.

 The division of
the Free Market, Geo-Politics and Religious Dogmatism- Monday
October 20, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The United States Deputy minister of Defense
is an active General in the United States Special Forces yet claims that God put
the US president in power and that he is confident because his God is bigger than
the enemy's God. This is not a joke.
|

 PC/CA Merger -
History In The Making, Or Just History About To Repeat Itself?- Monday
October 20, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: The struggle to rationalise the conservative and reform elements of the
Canadian political landscape is not knew and though it could be a historical event
there is more coersion in this merger than seems appropriate.

October 19, 2003

marketplace, this pictorial story examines the Cornwall Mall in Regina as it appeared

 The in-between- Wednesday
October 15, 2003
by: Andrew Shire
Tisdale: They are everywhere, over streams, gullies, rivers, they connect one place
with another, they are bridges and are one of man's attempts to over come his environment.
As an effort of humans to triumph over nature they are almost always in places that
are interesting and present a contrast worth yet another picture.

 The Greenwater Report- Monday
October 13, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: A grandson has gone to China,

 We have found
the enemy and it is the United States: Americans attack the Chinese
weapon of undervalued Yuan- Friday
October 10, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The intention by United States and Israel to push for a regime change in
Syria is now taking shape and at the same time the economic forces are festering
in the United States as that country has identified the Chinese Yuan as the culprit
that is hurting its self abused trade deficit world position. This story gives you
the facts and the sources that will allow you to much more fully understand the economic
basis for this problem.

 Pilatus PC-12/45- Thursday
October 9, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: A large charter aircraft from Fort Lauderdale Florida was
parked at Tisdale airport yesterday. This nine passenger Swiss made, 1997 singl engine
turbo prop is becoming extremely popular as a regional commuter and executive aircraft.
Its single engine lowers maintenance costs and gives this aircraft a remarkable range
and load carrying capability.

 Martin’s gas tax plan borrows
“liberally” but now “wholly” (too bad) from Canadian Taxpayers Federation Municipal
Roadway Trust- Thursday
October 9, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: The new deal that future prime minister Paul Martin is talking about is a
diluted adaptation of the Canadian Taxpayer Federation's propose set forth many years
