We’re watching history being rewritten in real time.  The discredited election interference allegations are now supposedly “credible” and the Johnston report that proved they were exaggerations or lies is now “controversial” Its an attempt to smear Trudeau and the Liberals — and it just infuriates me that Canadians are now

How it started: He didn’t do it, but if he did do it, it isn’t a crime, and if it is a crime, it isn’t that bad, and if it is that bad, everyone does it, and if everyone doesn’t do it, what about Hunter’s laptop? — John Collins (@Logically_JC)

In Canada, the weather isn’t news unless it happens in Toronto.  In the United States, the weather isn’t news unless it happens in New York. Here’s a roundup of tweets:  Canadians at least have an answer now to their perennial anguished question, “What does it take to put Canada on

I am seeing some positive signs that people are mad as hell and aren’t going to take it anymore. Specifically, I mean that people are realizing that we cannot continue to politely tolerate anti-gay anti-trans bashing while we wait for conservatives to come to their senses.  Nope, its time to

Today I just can’t stop myself from hoping to see Christmas In June this year – apparently Trump’s attorneys met the Justice department this morning and now Trump is hysterical. Trump’s lawyers presented their concerns, to which Jack Smith responded by breathing on the glass door, writing “LOL” in his

First up, a few tweets about Saskatoon Pride! So I won the Best Dressed competition at the charity bingo for @SaskatoonPride. What a fun night! pic.twitter.com/DZdhmQX2MU — Kyle Anderson (@DrKyle) June 4, 2023 June is #PrideMonth.

We LOVED Ted Lasso – its the reason we subscribed to Apple+.  Luckily my sister has been staying with us for a few days so we binge-watched all three seasons of Ted Lasso while waiting for the final episode and I realized again what a truly great show it was.

Following up on my Saturday post, here’s the latest news.  I wonder if Saskatoon Catholic School administration is now beginning to understand the difficult situation they have created for their teachers and their students?  Rally planned in response to Greater Saskatoon Catholic School leaked email | https://t.co/WL6g5VZMGW. https://t.co/KW1XD2qLAT — Dennis

  I’m pretty sure it was the reference to “Drag Queens Story Hour” that freaked out the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools administration this week. But they’ll never admit now that they flipped out due to prejudice and ignorance.  The documentary I posted above explains Drag Queen story hour at libraries

Saw some good comments today on various things – here they are:   First, this is absolutely true: 🧵The thing I like about this Liberal government is that, amidst all the sound and fury signifying nothing, they keep plodding along, each foot in front of the other, doing the work, not

Just for fun, I have now added “quote of the day” to the right sidebar now.  And thanks to Owen Gray’s Northern Reflections, the excellent blog where I first saw this plug-in.

So David Johnston has released his initial report to say a “public inquiry” into China China China would be neither public nor informative: My mandate for my first report is to determine whether any further public process is required. My short answer is yes. I plan to hold a series

Over at Balloon Juice, national security expert Adam Silverman has written a piece about the war in Ukraine every single day since Russia started their unjust and illegal war.   At Routine Proceedings, Dale Smith also writes a Ukraine Dispatch every single day.   Every weekend, Phillips O’Brien writes a Weekend Update

There are too many people these days who get outraged when they say something awful in a national media and then get asked to defend their views or shut up about them. The right wing rails against so-called “cancel culture”  – even though, of course, it is the right wingers

First, this is such a juvenile response from Poilievre, isn’t it: This is how important foreign interference is to Pierre Poilievre. pic.twitter.com/XBfCgOe8Gm — Raoul Duke’s Salt Shaker (@RodKahx) May 17, 2023 They do the same thing during election campaigns, when they are “too busy” to attend all-candidate meetings.This will only
