Perennial - old but still blooming. Fighting ageism constantly. Political junkie who has lived SK politics from Tommy Douglas to the present. Whatever happened to SW SK where we first established free medical care in the Swift Current Health Region?

Poilievre keeps saying he's going to cut to "bring down inflation," but inflation has been at the target for over six months. It's currently below two percent. Nobody ever mentions this. #PnPCBC

Yes. This.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

An American answers the question: how did America fall so far? His take: they underfunded the public education system and fed the public propaganda about the US being the best country in the world. Underfunding public ed is a recipe for disaster. CC: Scott Moe #skpoli vm.tiktok.com/ZMk7J9aSk/

This is the FUCKING TRUTH.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

"I’m also going to point a finger at the media for emboldening these premiers because they keep saying things like “there’s a vacuum of leadership” at the federal level...which is not the case. Trudeau is still on the job..." #LegacyMediaFailed #cdnpoli www.routineproceedings.com/2025/02/15/r...

Electricity demand is surging. Canada has a generational opportunity to build a clean, connected electricity grid from coast to coast. Let's ditch the zombie pipeline ideas and invest in interprovincial connections and renewables! @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/more-renewab...

I don't understand how this can happen. -it's not only against the law from the 2015 coal phase out rule, but the Harper-era max 50 years of life law. -Makes no sense from a cost perspective (yes, mining coal costs money, unlike what the article says) -air pollution will kill people 1/2

Tory commentators keep saying that Poilievre has a “Trump” problem, as if it’s just about image. No. The comparison is about policy. He has a policy problem. His policies are bad for our—or any—country.

Alternate headline: Premier Admits She Had No Knowledge of What Her Right Hand Was Doing www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Our Premier— #moe "This is the president of the nation that is our largest and most important and allied trading partner. The priorities of our largest and most allied nation most certainly I think are shared by us," said Moe… Pull your lips from Trump’s ring and stand up for🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇦Scotty.

They sure are

You know what would be great? banning Fox News from Canada.

A word from ex Alberta Premier and a Lawyer Rachel Notley.

Trump’s secretary of state “Little Marco” Rubio is skipping one of the biggest events in the diplomatic calendar because it’s too “woke.” China and Russia are undoubtedly thrilled.

Anonymous researchers just dropped a well-sourced memo exposing Musk and the neoreactionary movement. The threat is bigger than most realize. Read the one-page summary and share it—people need to see this. It sounds impossible, but it’s real. This is happening. america2.news/content/file...

This will be used as a crude attempt to outlaw criticism of MAGA. It's from the same playbook as the Israeli government, which labeled any criticism as "anti-semitism."

This is a great look at what’s going on

It looks like RFK Jr will be confirmed to lead HHS… at which point I think Canada needs to consider vaccine requirements for Americans wishing to visit. Our friendly, neighborly relationship is already being tested by Trump’s aggressive threats to make us 51st State. We must protect public health.

🎯🎯🎯

In the bigger picture, this is a terrorist attack on the federal government of the United States, sanctioned by the President of the United States, carried out by an unelected, unvetted foreign-born billionaire

I'm determined not to react to every vile/evil thought Donald Trump utters. But his vile & evil (same 4 letters) comments about Gaza today cannot stand. Justin Trudeau & Melanie Joly, tariffs or no tariffs, now is the moment for Canada to recognize Palestinian statehood.

Just no. Who does he think he is offering up our public resources for sale? THIS is what CONS Doug and Dani and Moe are already doing. Selling off public assets for private profit.

For those of you who said our PM "caved" - FYI: All the border security measures PMJT offered the 🍊💩, were offered back in December. Our PM basically regurgitated the same deal, offered it to the 🍊💩 as a soother to shut him up and let him save face. #cdnpoli #uspoli

Confirmed today to absolutely no one's surprise: Saskatchewan has the weakest, most pathetic, and unpatriotic Premier. He's off to Washington next week to presumably kiss the ring. #skpoli

Journey to Fentanyl Czar you must. Find there you will… not a lot of fentanyl

No they don’t. Canada and Mexico want none of this. They want the president of the United States to respect and abide by the trade treaty he negotiated with them - and not make up bogus pretexts for plunging us all into a gratuitous no win economic debacle.

Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

What absolute rot The Line editors are pushing. There is literally nothing that Parliament needs to be back for on Monday, other than performance art. MPs are perfectly capable of recording clips for their socials without the backdrop of the House of Commons. www.readtheline.ca/p/dispatch-f...

~ #NeverPoilivre #NeverVoteConservative How can people be so blind they can't see what a slimy weasel he is?

Media need to push Doug Ford about the Starlink purchase from Elon Musk. This is a national security risk. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/31/o...

I bought local. Jann Arden’s new Mixtape album. It comes out tomorrow. Buy Canadian means supporting our cultural Industries too. 🇨🇦

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

We're definitely going to do this too. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

I often wonder how much of Saskatchewan's health & elder care strategy is based on waiting out the Baby Boomers. The idea being, eventually the glut of old/sick Boomers will be dead & our care systems will then have adequate resources to handle the smaller populations of Xers and Millennials.
