Harper reality check
Wednesday
October 1, 2008
by: Casper Davis
Victoria BC: The Harper campaign for re-election has been going on steadily since he assumed office as he has relied heavily upon American negative campaign strategies with American consultants running the show. But there is more to being prime minister than advertising hype, you really ought to know that.

Fudget Budgets
Wednesday
October 1, 2008
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria BC: The Federal government recent auctioned off hundreds of millions of dollars for the use of various radio telecommunication frequencies for use in this country. Interestingly enough the government considers this part of the country's normal income and totals it in with other revenue and continues to claim our government is in a surplus situation, that simply isn't true.
Stephen Harper: Promise keeper or Promise breaker
Tuesday
September 30, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: Some define the truth as something that you can get others to believe. That might be the same with promises as to keeping them or just throwing them around to get votes knowing that memories and details often get lost in time. This story has the facts frozen in the words written at the time.
The Arts vs Stephen Harper; Stephen Harper vs the Arts
Tuesday
September 30, 2008
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock BC: The Conservative government has targetted arts funding across the country selectively dropping programmes and in the case of movies and television imposed a form of sensorship. It would appear that the government considers the Arts some sort of enemy but in this short article Mr. Marlatt points out that the Arts are the heart and soul of a society.
Autumn in Weekes
Monday
September 29, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Weekes: As the day wore on it is clear that September 29, 2008 is a historical day. It is hard to understand the importance to us in rural Saskatchewan of the fall of the TSX by more than 800 points or the sell off of the New York Stock exchange as it lost $1.2 Trillion dollars in value.
The Greenwater report
Monday
September 29, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
New York, NY: Their on their bus tour of northeastern United States and this report gives us the low down on the Amish and has some great pictures of some other stops along the way to New York.
Life and death decisions
Friday
September 26, 2008
by:Eugene Parks
Victoria B.C.: The media and the politicians themselves sometimes reduce politics to a sort of game but the people we choose to represent us have to make vital decisions. Decisions that can kill people or save lives. Mr. Parks takes a dim view of the way the current prime minister has carried out his duties.
Canadian productivity
Friday
September 26, 2008
by:Dale Swirsky
Winnipeg: Canada has the enormous potential to be truly an outstanding country in which to live and work. Unfortunately some of our politicians do not share a view of the country as a whole but only of their vested interest or ideology. At this election we need to consider anybody but the conservatives.
Parkland Photography Club report for September
Thursday
September 25, 2008
by:Darlene McCullough
Tisdale: Though the Parkland Photo Club is a small association they are a busy group and this month's report outlines the various competitions and projects that is engaging the group as they strive to improve the pictures they take. This month's theme was "flowering trees."
A fall perspective
Wednesday
September 24, 2008
by:Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: There is more than just leaves turning colour and falling from the trees, and more than an edge on the morning breeze there is a way we look at things that changes as we see summer behind us and winter soon to be upon us.
The Greenwater report
Wednesday
September 24, 2008
by:Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: This week's report catches us up on some e-mail with an important clue about a good dinner theatre. The Crawfords have packed up and are off on their trip to the eastern seaboard.
Failure of the economic system
Friday
September 19, 2008
by:Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The United States Government is buying up all the forclosed properties and assuming the irresponsible debts of the Banking and financial institutions because it has to their economic free market system has failed.
Friends of CWB launch second lawsuit related to CWB director elections
Friday
September 19, 2008
by:Anders Bruun
Hanley: The Federal Government is determined to destroy the Canadian Wheat Board and in its latest move it is rigging the election of directors of the board. Friends of the CWB have brought a lawsuit against the government as it is violating the Wheat Board Act.
Rather a good leader, than a "strong leader"
Friday
September 19, 2008
by:Casper Davis
Victoria, B.C.: There has been a lot of noise in this election campaign about leadership. Mr. Davis sets out the parameters of a good leader and points out the extreme shortcomings of a strong one.
Men at work
Thursday
September 18, 2008
by: Ken Styan
Tisdale: Some neighbourhood boys set out to gather up some of the leaves and came up with some unusual impliments to carry out the task. A shovel, fishing net and lacross rackets.
Superannuates tour Prince Albert Churches
Thursday
September 18, 2008
by: Darlene McCullough
Prince Albert: On Monday a group of retired teachers went into Prince Albert to enjoy lunch together and then did historical tours of three of Prince Albert's distinguished churches.
Bargain Shop
Tuesday
September 16, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This sign appeared on the windows of the former SAAN store today and it looks like "The Bargain Shop" is taking over the property and will be hiring workers on September 22.
Will Canada support US invasion of Pakistan?
Tuesday
September 16, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario: Locked into the war in Afghanistan Canada is obliged to toe the line as directed by the United States. Though combat is supposed to be under NATO control the United States makes no bones about calling the shots and the direction the conflict is now headed is into the tribal area of Pakistan.
Autumn
Monday
September 15, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Most of the leaves are turning colour and with the outstanding weather this past few days it is a true joy to go out and soak up the scenery. Here are twelve pictures that tell that story.
Canadian Sovereignty
Monday
September 15, 2008
by: Wayne Pietz
Brampton, Ontario: No one is talking about this issue in the election and they certainly should be. Is the Conservative government moving toward union with the United States and Mexico? The secret negotiations are going on and Canadians are being kept in the dark.
The Greenwater report
Monday
September 15, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: The motor home is tucked away for the season and preparations are underway to get ready for the bus tour of Northeastern United States. It seems that Mr. Crawford is a bit annoyed at the price of gasoline.
Smith River in 1961
Friday
September 12, 2008
by: Allan Bird
Smith River B.C.: Smith River airport is in the wilderness between Fort Nelson B.C. and Watson Lake Yukon. Built to support the war effort it remained in operation after the war. Allan Bird worked as a radio operator in 1961 and provides us with a picture of the tower and a Beaver on the strip.
Sunny skies and the grain is flowing
Thursday
September 11, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
