100 years
Friday
August 31, 2007

Tuesday
August 28, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Dictatorships, totallotarian regiems and military mentality do not follow the Socratic method of dialogue and it would seem that many others fall into the same rut, fundamentalists, those driven by dogma and hatred, its a pretty big category.

Tuesday
August 28, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
An older small house on 108th was destroyed today to make way for a replacement.

Have Canadian Forces in Afghanistan been pawns?
Monday
August 27, 2007
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario:
So much for idealism, it looks like the negotiations that actually were on going prior to September 11, 2001 have kept developing the need for a US owned pipeline to be built across Afghanistan from the Caspian Sea to the Pakistan coast. This evidence is very solid much more so than any shaky reasons given so far for Canadians to be fighting and dying in the Panjwayl and Kandahar areas of Pakistan.
Longbeach
Friday
August 24, 2007
by: Michael Townsend
Tofino, B.C.:
This is a magnificient photo essay of the scenes along the west side of Vancouver Island at Longbeach near Tofino. 35 outstanding images that take you to this amazing park of Western Canada.
Provocateurs
Friday
August 24, 2007
by: Casper Davis
Victoria, B.C.:
The nature of a law abiding society is such that it depends upon trust. Trust that those entrusted with protecting the society will do just that and not become agents inciting violence and property damage. That trust has been demonstratably broken with Quebec police pretending to be rioting protestors but were caught by a union leader. Now we have to consider other similar events and wonder what really was happening.
Premature arrival of fall
Thursday
August 23, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Though school starts next week, the pool closes Sunday and it was a chilly 13ºC today it still seems a bit odd to see the leaves turning colour so soon but alas little bits of colour are showing up in Tisdale's trees.
Jelly beans
Thursday
August 23, 2007
by: William Dascavich

Has the Prime Minister's assurances been plausible. Who knows with such secrecy the Montebello meeting is subject to any and all speculation. But Mr. Dascavich is certain it wasn't about jelly beans.

Yesteryear's Ukrainian Borscht
Tuesday
August 21, 2007

The Greenwater report
Monday
August 20, 2007
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Lake Provincial Park:
