Great winter drive today - I wasn't as grumpy as this guy ha ha

Clearly tired...Once again, reiterating my call for Jean Charest to join Bluesky. His comments are spot on 👇

Can we please never forget this. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency

Summer on the prairies.

When someone (like my coworker this morning) tells you that Trudeau is the worst thing that's ever happened to Canada because of the #GDP - make them read this. Banks tell you one thing - reality says it a little more complicated and not at all a true measure. macleans.ca/economy/why-...

"It’s time for Canadians to put aside their Trudeau-phobia and take a hard look at what the politician likely to replace him really has on offer." Get past the superficial sloganeering with these seven questions worth asking:

Holy, crap! ☹️ Never reported in the "news" anymore. wwater.ca/Saskatchewan...

If you watch something today please take time to watch my thoughts on the crisis facing Canadian democracy. We are in deeply uncertain times and parliament is failing to step up beyond dumbed down partisanship. Democracy is not meeting the crisis of the time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHPL...

It was such a pleasure to get out in the field for this story, particularly working with Gavin and seeing the gorgeous Blackfoot territory. His photos are spectacular, go see them.

Finally got my first snowy owl #saskatchewan #snowyowl #winter

“Troubling resurgence of scurvy” is not a headline many had on their 2024 bingo card. But, in a world where billionaires rule, we’ve become inured to #poverty, #FoodInsecurity and #inequity, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com #sdoh

CPC Leader Pierre Poilievre says the next election will be the "carbon tax election," but his campaign isn't the only one calling for an end to Canada's carbon pricing policy. Meet Energy United, a group led by former a Sask Energy Minister. #skpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A new paper from a pair of Alberta academics makes it clear that the cost of the carbon tax is far less than its critics would like to pretend. Will our feelings start to care about the facts? #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2024/11/27/o...

Happy Saturday! Winter is here Saskatchewan.

Opinion - The Great Regression: How do we reverse course in a societal death spiral?: The answer, from a therapist’s perspective, is to look less at where we stand on the political spectrum, and more at our own emotional state

Today's tangible action is to get better at evaluating news sources. Let me share three starting points. First up, this guide from the International Federation of Library Associations has tips for determining trustworthiness.

Today in relatable science: Gulls making a mysterious daily trip that turned out to be to a potato chip factory

WOW. This is a must-watch. Here’s CBC Power & Politics host @davidwcochrane.bsky.social bluntly confronting dumbfounded Con pundit Gary Keller today with a very chilling scenario for Canada under Poilievre. Canada, this is an emergency and it’s only one facet of a Poilievre govt bringing calamity.

Anxiously awaiting the return of the snowy owl to Sask.! Hopefuly soon!

It just gets worse here every day

Autumn in Saskatchewan!

The other day, someone asked what hastened the progressive Canada exodus off of X. The US election revealed the real risk is Musk and the other billionaires who have become the oligarchs. This video offered is a good overview of how Musk bought the election. vm.tiktok.com/ZMhgxDRRT/
