While @PremierScottMoe celebrates 10 years of AG in Motion here is a list of actual crises that have been going on this decade:

1. #drought in S. Sask
2. #wildfires
3. #HealthCare crisis

#Sask is at a crisis point. Who will step up to do what is needed? #skpoli

Tree rings tell a story. This old #tree used to stand outside the Supreme Court. It was cut down last year. Its #treerings show seasons of struggle, growth, & challenge. They reveal character, perseverance, grit, & patience. And scars.🤎

Air quality so bad that severe warnings are issued almost daily (image 2), and;

@PremierScottMoe decides to focus on forcing treatment on addicts (image 3). Way to punch down, Mr. Premier. #skpoli

Want a more inclusive democracy in #Sask ?

It starts with political finance reform. Eliminate these donations:

"Anonymous" (image 3-4)

Time for a complete overhaul, right @ElectionsSask ?

In 2023 the #Canada gov and @PremierScottMoe struck a #healthcare deal for $111m in extra funding for 10 years (image 1). But, by 2025, #Sask is actually cutting health care spending (image 2) resulting in ER closures, urban and rural(image 3).

Mr. Premier, where is the $$ going? #skpoli

New Mexico skies just blow me away

Moon at sunrise. Dark landscape below, orange sky, pale blue sky turning darker at top, some gray-white thin clouds scattered about, with a sliver of the moon illuminated center right top.

Yeah, no kidding. Interesting for sure.

Apparently it’s Senior Sunday…so happy senior Sunday to Mr Sid..17years, looking old and wise.

U.S. measles cases reach 33-year record high as outbreaks spread Johns Hopkins University data reflects the public health reversal in defeating the vaccine-preventable disease since measles was officially eliminated from the U.S. in 2000.

The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.

Two photos – 18 years apart. Still staring at rocks. My happy place.

Just spent 4 days in Hatcher Pass climbing with friends and the team. It was fantastic.

Moving slow today. Lots of reflection. Good things.

700 people stranded in northern Sask. community after wildfire blocks road | CBC News Seven hundred people in the northern hamlet of Patuanak, Sask., lost their only road out of the community this week after a wildfire blocked Highway 918. However, the hamlet is not directly threatened...

At some point the Minister in charge, Tim McLeod, is going to have to take some responsibility for the totally inadequate response to this years' wildfires.

Cutting $500 cheques to those displaced is simply not enough. #skpoli #Sask

Looks like the @MarkJCarney "one economy....not 13" plan of dropping inter-provincial trade barriers for #Canada is progressing well ahead of the #FirstMinisters meeting in #yxe

Well done. #skpoli #saskatchewan

View of Smith Lake in Fairbanks, Alaska, on a sunny spring day. The calm water reflects scattered clouds and a dense stand of spruce trees lining the far shore. In the foreground, leaning spruce trunks and dry grasses frame the edge of the lake, with bright green shoots emerging among decaying vegetation.

Smith Lake, known as Tr'exwghodegi Troth Yeddha' Bena' in Athabascan, yesterday afternoon. I've taken a fair number of photos in the last month, but haven't gotten around to posting any until now. I'll probably photo dump on my site Tuesday or Wednesday.

And it starts in #Sask

The wannabe separatists will be in #yqr at the Canadian Italian Club on June 22. Are you happy about this?

Just finishing personally signing and stuffing thank you cards for hundreds of supporters.

You are the lifeblood of any campaign and you cannot be thanked enough 🙏

THANK YOU!!! #skpoli #Sask #ReginaWascana #cdnpoli #CanadaElections2025

Policy even @PremierScottMoe viewed positively in his conversation with @MarkJCarney

Our future that starts today. #skpoli #Sask

Black and white photo of a clean shaven young white man wearing a white cowboy hat standing outside in the sun. On top of the hat is perched a little shorthaired black tuxedo kitten.

The dress code said “wear a tuxedo”. Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.

Game plan for #Sask Con MP's for the next Parliament is obvious: obstruct, act out, and scream "Communism!!!!"

How does this help families who need day care, hungry children in schools, or the sick and the elderly in SK?

Responsible government this is not. #skpoli

Two sea otters floating in blue water in Port Valdez, Alaska. One otter has its eyes tightly closed with its front paws covering its face, while the other has its forelimbs extended in a playful, pouncing position and its mouth open, appearing ready to push the first otter.

Just because sea otters are cute. July in Port Valdez, Alaska.

There’s no place I’d rather be.
Connecting with residents at their doorsteps here in Regina Wascana has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Nothing can replace listening to concerns, and hearing their hopes for our community.

If you’ve always voted NDP, we get it — it’s a tough choice to make. But in this election, the stakes are too high to risk splitting the vote. Our environment, our healthcare, and our future depend on strong, progressive leadership. Together, we can build the just, sustainable Canada we believe in.

The aurora borealis spreads across the sky in shades of green with subtle pink highlights near the horizon, seen through silhouettes of tall, leafless birch trees and a few dark spruce. The scene is from Fairbanks, Alaska in mid-April, with the aurora forming wide arcs and flowing patterns nearly covering the frame.

The aurora filled the entire sky in mid-April 2021, swirling green and pink above the birch and spruce in Fairbanks, Alaska. One of those nights you can’t stop looking up. Fairbanks, Alaska
