The Incredible, Extraordinary, Unconstitutional Overreach of Saskatchewan’s New Defamation Bill How the Sask Party’s new Defamation Act hands unprecedented powers to courts and threatens every Saskatchewan resident who dares to speak out, while ignoring basic free speech safeguards.

Putin and Xi would be proud of Scott Moe and the Sask Party crushing new silence laws.

Image shows a stainless steel memorial plaque for Darin Kinniewess screwed to a wooden power post in Saskatoon, SK. Darin died while riding his bike in 2023. The plate has an image of a simple, stylized bicycle with Darin's name underneath, and his birthdate (Mar. 13, 1987) and his date of death (Sept. 7, 2023). The words "Forever Loved." are at the bottom of the plaque. Saskatoon Cycles and Darin's family extend gratitude to Remnant Steel of Saskatoon for donating the material for the plaque.

When Darin Kinniewess's family informed us that a second "spirit bike" had been removed from his memorial site, we decided to try something else.

We hope this small plaque will be a lasting placeholder for the community to honour him and for others to reflect on the ongoing need for safer streets.

Opinion: On moral dissonance in times of climate change Subtle denial of climate change only compounds the moral and cognitive dissonance we are all living with.

thestarphoenix.com/opinion/opin...

This really hits home. This morning it was very foggy and it never occurred to either of my kids that it was anything other than a thick blanket of smoke.

A young colleague shrugged off the impacts poor AQ was having on their health. "It happens during smoke season."

Smoke season isn't normal.

Quoted passage from Minister Jeremy Harrison's letter to SaskPower staff: "Work will begin this year to restore Boundary Dam 4 to service and be re-certified. Further investments will be made in long-lead items as a part of the life extension project. In the years to come, all coal units at Boundary Dam, Poplar River and Shand will receive the work necessary to extend the life of those units."

Minister Jeremy Harrison has just directed SaskPower to rebuild its coal-fired power plants and continue running them past 2030. The letter directs SaskPower to begin by putting Boundary Dam unit 4 back in service. This decision is problematic for many, many reasons and I list some of them below:

No amount of money, jobs or economic output will stop dry forests from burning, mass extinctions of critical species, ecosystems collapsing.

Oil is great except for that fatal flaw, the only way around the flaw is to leave oil in the ground.

We stopped using asbestos, CFCs, PCBs, and dioxins because while they were very useful but were highly toxic, just like oil. Burning more oil means more and more energy is absorbed from the sun and not radiated back into space and the unnaturally fast increase in the temperature on earth

When I hear when someone call for more oil production because of the economy, jobs, or money. I hear that we should start mining asbestos again, and restart production of CFCs, PCBs, and dioxins. Producing those employed lot of people and made lots of money just like oil does.

4/ How is this the world I leave my daughter. How can my MP, my MLA and so many others demand we extract and burn every drop of oil, make as much money as possible instead of realizing burning all that oil is making the world burn and that all the money wont bring back the summers I remember.

3/ When I was growing up we didn't have AC, we opened windows and used fans. I can't imagine that today, when my daughter was an infant I got a portable AC to keep her cool because the windows needed to be shut because the air was smoky.

2/ She thinks its normal that the air is so vile she cant play outside at recess, cant go ride her bike, can't go to the playground, can't walk to corner store to get an ice cream. I grew up in the same neighbourhood and this wasn't normal when I was a kid.

1/ My family woke up to the smell of smoke and a yellow sky. My daughter's reaction almost made me cry. She wasn't scared, or worried, she thinks its normal, this is what summer is supposed to be like. It makes me so sad that what she knows as as summer is much worse than what I think of as summer.

It’s only May, and already wildfires are ravaging Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. When are we going to believe the climate crisis will take everything from us? 🔥

There is no climate action party in the Saskatchewan Legislature.

You know who else intentionally gave their allies worse weapons than they used themselves, the Soviet Union.

We could start making czech hedgehogs to put along the border.

I don’t know how many American followers I have, but if even one of you sees this—if even one of you can share the truth—you’d be doing your fellow citizens a favour.Here’s the actual USMCA section on dairy etc he’s referring to (a deal HE negotiated and signed himself) Take a look for yourself:

This is the fate of Canada if we were to become part of the USA.

How Trump’s ‘51st State’ Canada Talk Came to Be Seen as Deadly Serious (Gift Article) President Trump, in an early February call, challenged the border treaty between the two countries and told Justin Trudeau he didn’t like their shared water agreements.

TLDR: The 51st state talk is not a joke. It is a consistent delivery of threats to Canadian sovereignty at the highest levels of government.

Using Tariffs to Try to Annex Canada Backfired in the 1890s Instead of compelling Canada to become an American state, the 1890 McKinley Tariff drove Canada into British hands.

McKinley tried to annex Canada through terrifs. He was assassinated BTW. History 😊

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he will put a 25 percent tariff on electricity going to the 1.5 million homes/businesses in New York, Michigan and Minnesota starting Monday.

"And honestly, it really bothers me we have to do this. I don't want to do this."

What a liar. Is he trying to justify the tariffs or manufacture a reason to invade?

For fucks sake, more sane washing, this time from @axios.com. RFK didn't "urge" people to get vaccinated. He did the usual anti-vaxxer ass-covering. His line about vaccines protect children from measles came after 510 words of baffle-gab. /1

I think asymmetric warfare is Canada's only option. I dont think nukes are not realistic in a reasonable time frame. Canada would have to develop nuclear weapons and the delivery systems. Even if Canada had both, it would need to protect them from an american first strike.

YouTube video by MeidasTouch Trump has SUNDAY MELTDOWN as Canada STANDS UP

Donald Trump has just stated that the tariffs will stay on until Canada ceases to exist as a nation.
From here on in, my priority is Canada. All other considerations are secondary. Trump will never win. He will never break us.
Canada. True. North. Strong. Free.
