Ensign Notes
.Happenings In Tisdale:

There is no such thing as limited war

 

Monday
September 11, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : What happened five years ago will be discussed for perhaps another hundred years and the response to what happened is changing the attitudes and the concepts all people have about conflict, big or small. Today we discuss this change and try to deal with what we are now accepting as appropriate behaviour.

Afghanistan

 

Monday
September 11, 2006
by : Bev Currie
Swift Current : Here is a very simple but also very convincing argument in favour of an immediate withdrawal of Canadian Forces from Afghanistan.

Water Treatment Plant making progress

 

Friday
September 8, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Not the kind of spectacular project that was anticipated the buidling of the new water treatment plant has been a limited skilled tradesman affair that has just ambled along out there behind the trees.

Bravado, Bluff or Blarney? Reform-Party Policy Visits the Senate Committee

 

Friday
September 8, 2006
by : Robert Ede
Thornhill, Ontario : Prime Minister Harper and his former Reform/Alliance government seem to have a very poor understanding of both the present constitution and how changes might correctly be made to the system. Mr. Ede attempts to set them straight on the finer points of Canadian constitutional law.

First Paint

Tisdale : The trees are once again turning colour, here are some pictures of the process and some thoughts on what it could mean to us.

Big Truck: Perkins

 

Thursday
September 7, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
images by : T. shire & Jo Lukinchuk
Tisdale : To us this 94 wheelled giant is a remarkable sight but it is just everyday stuff for the Northfield Minnesota trucking company. This sort of thing is what Perkins does, in a rather big way.

Taste, touch, sight, sound. . .

by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Reality, even awareness, taxes the very limits of our senses, each step forward in science and in art reveal vast new concepts we had never ever considered before.

Busy little intersection: part 2

 

Tuesday
September 5, 2006
by : Shawn Ratushniak
video by: T. Shire
Tisdale : And then some, Shawn works within constant sight of the junction of the two highways and jotted down notes on the traffic one day, this will surprise you. This story also includes another ten minutes of corner traffic condensed to thirty seconds.

Busy little intersection

 

Monday
September 4, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : While waiting to catch a moving picture of a big truck I shot a short ten minute video of the intersection of highways 3 and 35. That video is pretty revealing and is part of this story.

The Greenwater Report

 

Monday
September 4, 2006
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : More on the Crawford's recent trip to Alberta as we catch up on friends and family.

Little publicized knots in the softwood deal

 

Thursday
August 31, 2006
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, ON : The Harper government wants to pass the deal it has made with its friends to the south, but hold on, its not all that simple a deal.

Its piling up again

 

Wednesday
August 30, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : A Louis Dreyfus an enormous pile of wheat has accummulated over the last few days.
