There were 14 religion-based independent schools registered in Saskatchewan as of January 2025 and “none of these schools employed certified teachers,” states the report. #Saskatchewan

Israel killed 75 people today—human beings with names, stories, and families. Our people aren’t numbers. Our people are precious; their lives matter, and their deaths aren’t trivial footnotes deemed not newsworthy. Shame on the west for allowing this daily slaughter to continue.

Saskatoon Emergency Rooms are WAY over-capacity. Emergency patients face long waits, and treatment in public waiting room and hallways. The Sask Party is failing citizens! It is an objective fact.

People need to call the Legion and ask why they are renting their halls to these traitors?

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

Trump regime security forces attacked and abducted an 80 year old woman, Lynne McFarland for standing her ground against a bill that would deny education to immigrant children. The US falls deeper into fascism. #3E

Truth

Before the province allowed private American companies to take Canadian taxpayers’ money, lab services were provided in province. And the money stayed in Saskatchewan. Weird how spending money locally makes a difference hey?

~UCP has successfully doomed 2 of 3 remaining caribou herds Cariboo=a species at risk UCP is allowing a US logging co to clear-cut critical winter habitat of Southern Mountain "Stumps, strip mines, and pumpjacks are the enduring symbols of AB, not wildlife." edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Stop calling them “tariffs”. Call them “import taxes”. The idiots will understand better

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

what if it just took one though

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

When you’re chronically ill, your baseline is everything. The non disabled can’t possibly fathom the amount of time & energy that goes into maintaining what’s left of our health. It takes ages to make the tiniest gains, and only split seconds to lose them. Be kind. Respect our boundaries.

People are taking things into their own hands

It’s becoming increasingly clear that folks in Regina Wascana feel unheard. As MP I pledge to hold regularly scheduled public town halls open to all in Regina Wascana to hear directly from its citizens….regardless of political belief or affiliation. jeffreywalters.liberal.ca

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

Not a historian, but to my knowledge, this is the first time a sitting US Senator — or member of Congress, generally — or perhaps any senior US gov’t official — has included an f-bomb in an official press release. www.duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Peirre Poilievre has been in parliament for 20 years and the only bill he has ever passed was a voter suppression bill. He has a net worth of 25 million dollars. He won’t get security clearance. He repeats kremlin propaganda.

Scott Moe puts a charge on vape products to reduce the amount of people vaping. Scott removes the charge on the biggest polluters because he believes they will do better if he ask "Pretty Please". Also hes not even going to expect them or hold them to anything

PoiLIEvre says he won’t raise the retirement age, but his party has already lied about raising the retirement age once before. They committed in their 2011 platform that they wouldn't cut pensions, then they went ahead and did it anyway. WHILE he collects 120k a year gov pension at 50 😡 #cpcLIES

I'm just getting my License. But I'm riding everyone at my school to vote against the Cons.
