Tiar is in the house...

Hey all,

we were joined last night with a FNTI student Tiar, she dropped in to make our collective radio lives just a little brighter...She is from the Pas manitoba and always heard to exclaim "it's the heart of canada!!" keep your eyes and ears open for she will be anchor one day of the ctv nightly news just as soon as her hero Lloyd Robertson decideds to enjoy his golden years...so you know it might happen!!!

has anyone seen the "flags of our fathers" yet?

let us know...

Flags of our Fathers

Starring Adam Beach,

No, I have not seen yet...not really sure if I will get to see this weekend. but hey its starring adam beach...well I guess to be fair it's really starring ryan phillippe or depending on who you ask mrs. witherspoon (man she was good in man in the moon). anyways this here flags of our father is I guess based on the Iwo jima flag raisers and how these guys have to deal with being propped up as heros, and how they deal with the whole thing...trying to live up to the public perception and all...seems like it should be good...and its directed by the "MAN" EASTWOOD!!! who would have thought he could direct...if you dont think so, check out bridges of madison county...it rocks...

check it out...drop back let us know what you think...

Google, "you tube" and the conflict in between nations

Ok so its time I guess to get on this "you tube" google band wagon. Good for you guys...Can you spare some change for a cup of coffee?



Well its been 6 months since the OPP tried to take control away from the Six Nations Peoples in Caledonia...we thought it might be interesting to check out the "you tube" see what if anything there might be there...We get to hear and see video from the day of the OPP invasion of the disputed land and narrated through the eyes of Mike who was there at the time...funny how this stuff even in support of another story rarly gets aired on mainstream media outlets...

have a good day...drop some comments...

voices out!!!

Amish Community of Nickel Mines - Show your support

most of you probable know about the acts that took place in the Amish Community of Nickel Mines Pennsylvania...

In anycase the Menninite Community of Ontario(and dare I say Canada)has been asked by Nickel Mines for support, mainly financial I think, to help with the medical bills and other unforseen costs in a tragedy such as this. But you know I am sure any support that you can offer would be accepted in the nature that it is given. I guess that the Amish are also thinking about rebuilding the school house where the events took place. So your support can also be used in this effort as well.

This is cool the leaders in Nickel Mines also asked for your prayers in what ever faith you choose. maybe the rest of the world can take note.

I hope that you all can help out. the support will be made here in canada with the Mennonite Centrel Commitee
