Alberta Bill 11 allows doctors to charge patients privately for publicly insured services while still working in the publicly funded system. This breaks a fundamental principle of the agreement that established Medicare in 1962 in SK, then across 🇨🇦: docs are either in or out of Medicare, not both.

Province urged to declare domestic violence in Sask. an epidemic before International Women's Day | CBC News Sunday is International Women's Day. The Saskatchewan NDP and advocates says it's both a day of celebration and an important time to call for government action against intimate partner violence.

“The NDP Opposition has been calling for the province to declare an epidemic for some time, arguing that doing so would mean higher government accountability.”

Accountability is not in the SaskParty vocabulary.

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.

Doug Ford’s push for jets at Billy Bishop airport runs into some familiar turbulence Advocacy groups said Friday they hope their federal and municipal representatives will fiercely oppose the jet push.

"We said no to this a decade ago, and it makes even less sense now," said @normsworld.bsky.social, who is refreshing NoJetsTO.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.

Water-stressed BC towns want the province to stop 'giving water away' to industry

"BC has one of the lowest industrial water rates in Canada, charging companies a maximum of $2.25 per million litres. That's well below the rates of provinces like Quebec ($36.05/million litres), Saskatchewan ($17.44) or Nova Scotia ($66.15) charge."

Warming winters are reshaping Canada’s snowpack Climate change is altering not only how much snow falls, but where snowpack persists and how long it lasts.

“in Western Canada, especially within the Rocky Mountains, significant declines in [snow water availability] are emerging in mid-elevation mountain headwaters. These regions feed major river drainage systems, including the Saskatchewan, Fraser & Columbia river basins”.

‘I love you twenty-sixty times’: how lyrics written by a three-year-old became tear-inducing viral hits When Stephen Spencer began setting his daughter’s surreal stories to music, he had 36 followers. Now his banging pop miniatures have been streamed nearly 30m times – and are making parents cry

Whenever we cynically rubbish the whole internet & all social media, I think of Stephen Spencer, a music professor who turned his toddler's stories into songs. He started with 36 followers (his mum's book club, basically), & now millions listen to his little 45-second lyrical earworms on Insta.

Canadians, don't get too comfortable with "this couldn't happen here" thoughts. Remember when the Sask Party used the notwithstanding clause to make it policy that schools have to out trans kids to their parents, which means trans kids have fewer Charter rights? They're still in power. #Sask #SkPoli
