Fun fact about Minnesota: It is the largest state in which Trump lost the 2016 primary and all three general elections.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

This makes me think of Canada Post right now. If sitting down with a blank slate, nobody in 2025 would design a postal system in which a person walked to every home in a city every single day. Let’s re-envision a postal system that is effective and affordable.

2. Sask is one of only two provinces that does not provide some sort of incentive or grant for people to install solar panels.
3. Sask has the best environmental factors for solar power generation in the country.

Here are some disappointing facts about solar power generation in Sask.
1. Sask is one of only two provinces that does not provide credit for power pushed back into the grid at the same rate it charges for electricity taken out of the grid. I pay about 15 cents/kWh, and get 7.5 cents credit.

He is the leader of the CPC, he is not the leader of the Official Opposition. But I agree he should get no airtime.

HOLY CRAP!! A QAnon account with 55k followers on TS posted this video. Dems can’t take their foot off the gas with this. This will tear his base apart.

Any possible chance our premier and his esteemed cabinet is rethinking the decision to continue to sell American liquor in our stores?
How about maintaining the large unoccupied stock of Sask housing and making them available? How about getting our water bombers fixed so they can fight fires?

At least the republicans and democrats can agree on something - they both want trump to president for the rest of his life.

It’s a chess game, that tax is one of many many moving parts. We just need to keep the other player from flipping the table. Keep him playing the game (which he thinks is checkers). Let him and his base think they are winning.

The Traitor team of Smith and Moe putting Nazi booze back on the shelves is really paying off on the trade front.

Who knows what Canada could really do if these two weren't drilling holes in Canada's boat.

I think there are people who recently got a drivers license who might still feel they are learning, since they are not as confident or experienced as they could be, and will make mistakes or do things slower than others might expect, and are asking patience. But I’m ok if it says β€œstudent” too.

When I see β€œlearner driver” I think it is someone that is inexperienced and working on getting better, and is asking for my patience.

Maybe the difference is that student implies there is also a teacher. I feel like I am β€œlearning” to play the guitar, but I am not a student. When I see β€œstudent driver” I think there is someone in the car helping them learn to drive.
