Poilievre challenging Carney's ability to deal with Trumps is laughable. Poilievre hasn't shown any ability to do....anything at all actually. It is literally the most self-unaware thing I have ever seen.

Soooo....maybe stalling tariffs on a bunch of countries the US doesn't do much trade with isn't enough to save the markets?

How do other teachers feel about Saskatchewans Ministry of Education ending Provincial exams? From my perspective this is a positive move. #sasked #education #teaching

Does anyone on here really think that Trump manipulated the market deliberately? Part of me wonders, but the other part of me remembers that the man can't string a coherent sentence together. #trump #stockmarket #maga

The dismantling of American Democracy is fantastic evidence that you actually can't make anything idiot proof. #americanpoli #trump #elonmusk

why do the most ani-intellectual politicians amongst us feel the need to insert their tentacles the furthest into the education system? I mean I know the answer, but still... #education #DonaldTrump #conservative #PierrePoilievre

The right are complaining essentially that #Carney had a job before becoming PM and did it well. He has done everything by the book since then. Can you say the same about #Poilievre ? Remind me, which one has a compliance agreement due to circumventing donation rules again?

The only reason anyone has offered me as to why to vote for PP as PM is that everything has been "so bad" for so long. When I ask what is so bad about your life? I get either nothing, or inflation. you know that thing that was GLOBAL. #CanadaVotes #PP #Carney

I am not religious, but I am generally a live and let live kind of person. Lately most of the evidence I have seen would suggest the Christian right is more old testament than anything to do with Jesus' principles. #MAGA

Donald Trump is a moron....I am relatively sure of that, but he still has people in the background that presumably know things. To me that means that these tariffs on pretty much everything are a deliberate tax on the American people. Sad. Sad. #tariffs

Despite all of the insanity that is being thrown around south of the Border, and despite the fact that PP has offered Canadians little but schoolyeard slogans, Saskatchewan is still poised to be a sea of blue on election night. It's disappointing to see people vote against their interests. #election

I have found it remarkably easy to buy Canadian. There have been remarkably few everyday products my family uses that do not have a Canadain option, and for those that don't I have been easily able to substitute Mexican or other. Obviously one family doesn't make a difference...but... #buycanadian

Does it matter if Trump is an "official" Russian asset or not? His behaviour and his talking points are that of a Russian asset. That means he IS a Russian asset...official or not. #Trump #tariffs #Ukraine

I don't say this lightly, in fact, it breaks my heart to even have to entertain the thought. Perhaps rather than accusing certain "Canadians" of being treasonous, those that travel to the US to negotiate becoming a state need to be CHARGED with treason. #neverthe51st #canada

I am so distraught over the news lately that I have avoided social media of all types for months. It hasn't improved my mood. I might as well at least have a place to voice my opinions. #mentalhealth

There is no sound economic reason for Trump to levy tariffs on Canada. This is a strategic attempt to collapse the Canadian economy by a foreign leader. A declaration of war in any other context. #tariffs #trudeau #trump

The last week before the Christmas break is a near write off for the hope of actually achieving much at school. I mean we try, but the students are already at home thinking about what they're going to get. TBH I'm not far behind them. #Education #teacherproblems

Learning what we know is important, but I feel like there is a declining focus on "doing science" in our high school classrooms. As an advocate for science fair and the opportunities for using the scientific method to learn something, I have seen dropping numbers year over year. #scienceeducation

The seriously declining numeracy, literacy, and scientific literacy rates in Saskatchewan should be an embarasment for our government. It has gotten so bad, that Saskatchewan's performance drags down the overall average of Canada. It's time to re-invest in education! #education #science #math

I came across this graphic whilst perusing the interwebs. Time to invest in pitchforks and guillotines? I'm not sure I have the stamina to disassemble a prison fortress "brick by feudal brick"! #wealthgap #education #history

Took this picture few weeks ago just outside the trees at my farm. It's during moments like these I feel most alive.

One of the main reasons I garden. I love watching the bees forage.
