I don’t agree with Trump’s war of self-interest or his murdering schoolgirls in Iran.

This is unacceptable in a province a wealthy as Saskatchewan. It is time for change.

What’s with the US custom of always naming a judge’s appointing president?

'You'll see a deficit': Premier Scott Moe tempers Sask. budget expectations | CBC News As Premier Scott Moe says the government is choosing to not raise taxes or cut services, the Official Opposition is already casting doubt on the upcoming budget, saying they don't believe it will prov...

"It's difficult to say what to expect, because frankly, I don't trust this government's ability to bring a real budget forward or to deliver the full financial picture of the province,"

They haven’t managed their budgets the whole time in office.

ANALYSIS | Danielle Smith says court 'skewed' to Liberal donors, but UCP picks have political ties just as often | CBC News CBC analysis suggests about one-fifth of federally named judges match with Liberal donor lists. About as many judges picked by the province likely gave to UCP.

When Danielle Smith claimed 80% of federally picked judges had donated to Liberals, that was way higher than any figure I'd researched.
I dug into it. Could confidently write here:
"It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it."

During my trip I visited a cemetery for those who have lost their lives in the war against Russia.

4 years of destruction.

More and more cemeteries.

It needs to end.

Saskatchewan residents lag far behind their neighbouring provinces in having a family physician.
In #skpoli 14% of residents don’t have one while in Manitoba and Alberta 9% and 10% respectively have one.

Opinion: Faced with fiscal woes, Danielle Smith takes aim at immigrants A suite of proposed referendum topics serve only as a distraction and a sop to radical elements of her party base

"She’s decided to blame immigrants for the province’s financial woes and wants to make their lives just a little bit harder if she can. This is a choice – and an obscenely cruel and perfidious one, at that."

Canada will require refugees and asylum seekers to co-pay for health care starting in May They will have to pay 30 per cent of the costs of services such as dental, optometry and physiotherapy and a $4 flat rate on each prescription.

Mark my words this is the beginning of the end to universal healthcare in Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦. If we let them do this to the most vulnerable (Ukrainians fleeing war) they will do it to all of us:

So, the 1st meeting of Trump’s β€˜board of peace’ farce just started - and right on time we have reports saying there’s threat for Kyiv and a possible massive missile attack in next 48 hours.

Bored of peace they are indeed.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Appalled to hear the normalization of Russian aggression and calls by the IOC and FIFA to welcome them back to international sport, all for a purely financial motive. I guess Ukrainians dying and traumatized by daily Russian attacks is acceptable collateral damage to some.
