Index to some articles in the CITIZENS CENTRE REPORT that
deal with family issues
Note: The Report News Magazine ceased publishing. That also involves an organization change and
corresponding name change to CITIZENS CENTRE REPORT.
That change is a consequence of the Report Newsmagazine having become the organ of a new foundation, a
conservative think tank, the Citizens Centre for Freedom and
Democracy.
Note: The website of
the Alberta Report (later called Report Newsmagazine) no longer functions. The Report Newsmagazine ceased to be published.
Fortunately, those articles are accessible at

The search for that elusive 'rule

(Unfortunately, the Report website no longer is up,

I heard it first around 1992. I have since heard it many times, most recently on the e-mail list of the
Editors' Association of Canada (EAC), when one participant naively used the contentious phrase "rule of
thumb."
This figure of speech must now be approached with great caution. EAC respondents hastened to protest that it
seriously demeans women. Originating in English Common Law in 1767, they explained, it refers to the width of
the stick with which a husband was legally entitled to beat his wife. Because of this practice, "widely
contentious throughout the world," anyone "dealing with women's shelter work or spousal abuse" will consider
the phrase "rule of thumb" to be an "insensitive reference." (Full

Alberta's self-inflicted crisis
— The government's costly electricity fiasco provides a national example of how not to deregulate electricity,
Cover Story by Mike Byfield, 2001 01 22
AS Alberta's economy surged through the 1990s, cheap electricity helped power the fastest growth
rate of any Canadian province. A kilowatt-hour, worth 2.5 cents at the generation site, was cheaper than
almost anywhere else on the continent. The abundant electrons were gobbled up by food processors and
greenhouses in the south, forestry operations in the north, and a host of small manufacturers and processors
across Alberta. But despite this good fortune Premier Ralph Klein decided to deregulate the electrical
business. This seven-year process has yielded severe economic consequences:

CITIZENS
CENTRE REPORT
If you have concerns about these and other issues related to the condition of
seniors, visit, contact and perhaps even join:
SUN — Seniors United Now
The up- and coming, rapidly-growing advocacy organization
for seniors (55 years and over) in Alberta
There are in the order of about half a million or more people of age 55 and
over in Alberta. If all of them were to join SUN, they would become the most
powerful advocacy organization in Alberta; and seniors would no longer be robbed
of their comforts and otherwise ignored.
At the price of one package of cigarettes seniors will be able to
gain a voice that will be heard by a government that otherwise can and will take
from seniors what they worked for all their life to enjoy in their old age.
If you are concerned about how seniors are affected by the
planned,
systematic destruction of our families and society, a search
at google.com (for elderly OR seniors OR grandparent OR grandfather OR
grandmother site:http://fathersforlife.org) will provide you with the links
to about 80 web pages at Fathers for Life that will be of interest to you.
