Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Sask Government Refusing To Slow Pandemic Down
It's a sowing of lies by the government. It's obvious, and needs to be called what it is. It's reckless disregard for lives, and policies that worked 8 months ago to slow the #pandemic in Saskatchewan. #CloseTheSchools, bars, and return to Stage 1 or 2 of #ReOpenSK. #skpoli — Saskboy

Trump saying he can't stay in a basement and make money. We know he also can't from his penthouse.

Sometimes a lie is forgotten. Sometimes it spirals out of control and turns into an international black market. It's been 4 years since the racist War on Drugs (TM) was exposed for the sham it was, and the US and Canada haven't done much about putting an end to it.

The news around the world has been more awful than usual, with the President of the USA purportedly getting over his COVID-19 infection, while on dexamethasone (a powerful, potentially mind altering steroid) threatening to kiss guys in the crowd of his maskless rally.

After a SaskParty candidate was revealed to be an anti-science Q-cult fascist, so Moe removed him to reduce embarrassment to the party.

Nowhere in Canada is more cursed than Alberta. It’s the Resource Curse. And Jason Kenney is the leader of the cursed. At the empty Tesla charging station in Fort Macleod.

If you’re old enough, and into American odd news, you’ll remember Jerry Falwell saying he thought the purple Teletubbie was gay.
