Now, the White House is gearing up to extend them a multi-billion-dollar bailout, sources tell...

I guess Trump farm voters are only against certain types of socialism?

5% electoral threshold to win a seat. Ranked ballots as part of PR (STV) I’m fine with. Rank ballots alone really change very little, imho.

I couldn’t agree more. Many of our industries discharge heat as a byproduct of their industrial processes that could be used for greenhouse food production and more.
My grocery shopping habits these days require the buying of Canadian products. While supply is increasing there is a ways to go

Travis Keisig named president of Pacific Northwest Economic Region Appointment to be made at upcoming summit.

The current minister of the environment is now also president of an association to increase trade with certain states. I doubt Scott Moe gives a f🀬ck about spending a dime for environmentally sustainable fresh vegetables. Climate Change is a punchline to them. www.sasktoday.ca/provincial-n...

Dear political scientists teaching American politics this semester: How do you address the separation of powers, rule of law, norms, and the role of Congress (power of the purse and oversight over the executive branch)? Or do you just teach it as history?

The province had predicted a $12M surplus this year. Now, it looks like a $349M sinkhole. Saskatchewan’s books have taken a financial hit, with a projected $12-million surplus now forecasted to become a $349-million deficit.

Two big questions:

1. How long until they completely β€œDevine” the province

2. Where is the money actually going

I expect my federal taxes to benefit πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦, so Federal investment in nation building projects needs to be restricted in Provinces that are encouraging referendums on separating.

Another incredibly embarrassing - though not unexpected - move by Saskatchewan. Proving over and over again how utterly regressive it is.

5 months for mine, next week. And I was on the urgent list just behind people with cancer (and accidents I presume)
One woman I talked to here, almost a year for "non urgent" MRI. Unless you want to pay for it yourself. Which is what they are trying to get people to do now.
$2K for mine, I asked.

Our super light weight, never miss a chance to punch below your weight, Premier doesn’t even understand what elbows up means. It means you are in the game, by definition, and you give back as good or better than you get in the corners. Leadership is not his strength.

So how can the UK and King Charles invite Trump, an Epstein friend and client, to a state dinner when King Charles has ostracized his own brother Prince Andrew for the very same reason?

Dustin and Joanne were planning to get married in August.

The fire in Denare Beach cost them so much.

They have a message for Scott Moe and the Sask. Party that deserves to be heard.

David Eby did a press conference saying that BC has reached out to FIFA if β€œfor any reason” they needed to relocate some of the games our province is reading and welcoming of hosting more.

And he did it with a smile.

Why has the Farmers’ market not returned, in a meaningful way, to downtown Regina? What’s going on? Honest question. #yqr
