Six In The Morning
























1 CAN I GET A COST BENEFIT ON THAT $2 BILLION? The Globe and Mail talks to Saskatchewan's nuclear boosters about our proposed controversial reactor, and imply it's a replacement for Chalk River. Huh? What? They're gonna get letters on this one.

2 ANOTHER USE FOR THOSE BILLIONS What about power transmission lines so we--and our neighbouring provinces--can make the most out of wind? (StarPhoenix)

3 TORIES SNUB PRIDE PARADE The last sentence of this Leader-Post article is the newsworthy one.

4 WHEN SCIENTOLOGISTS ATTACK Former members are saying Church Of Scientology leader David Miscavige hits people. Could these tales be true? (Guardian)

5 BAN THE BURQA: SARKOZY France's president less-than helpfully says that traditional Muslim dress debases women. (New Your Times)

6 OUR POOR, PARCHED LITTLE PALS Water-deprived rats are running amok in Swift Current. Poor rodents. But seriously, release the snakes. (CBC)

Re: #1, note the bait and switch that's at work here. While most of the public discussion has surrounded the construction of a nuclear reactor for power generation, Wall has just now (i.e. after the public meetings in the UDP process were finished) started pitching a research/isotope reactor on a much shorter time frame. And all indications are that he'll take the fact that opposition has focused on power generation as an excuse to say that nobody objects to that, even though it really hasn't been discussed on either side.

I am shocked, shocked, that Tom Lukiwski didn't make an appearance.

In all fairness to the Wall government, Regina South MLA and cabinet minister Bill Hutchinson did sent greetings from the provincial govnerment and attended the flag-raising event at City Hall on the first day of Gay Pride week.
