I don’t think I’ve ever called for a Minister to resign before, while on the radio, but Duncan should definitely quit screwing up Saskatchewan, SaskPower, and our environment. You and I definitely outproduce the Crown utility's renewable solar power production from their own panels. We also produce more #solar power

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Global Climate Strike in Regina
The #ClimateStrike was in Regina again this morning, and hundreds of people marched from the RSM to the Legislature to show their displeasure with the government for doing nothing to address the climate crisis. The Government is doing less than nothing, they’re now actively harming the people providing solutions

The global climate strike inspired by Greta Thunberg and other young leaders concerned about their futures, is underway. #climatestrike just starting to build in #Melbourne, I'm sure we will see this build and build over the next hour. pic.twitter.com/lcjACJKRke — Stephen Torsi (@STorsi) September 20, 2019 Can we talk about

SaskPower has yet to build a mere Megawatt of solarpower, but has now canceled the ability of solar installers to accept new work in the province. They went way farther than the cancellation of the rebate I warned readers about back in June. The Net Metering program has allowed hundreds

Canada’s bonehead Prime Minister, in an effort to look more like Boris Johnson, has turned up in an old photo sporting a culturally inappropriate turban costume while wearing what is now, finally widely recognized as racist, blackface makeup. Fewer years ago than when the Prime Minister dressed in blackface as
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: SaskPower Cutting Solar Funding Instead of Cheques
Despite a ticking clock to cut emissions drastically, SaskPower is opting to continue to burn low grade coal instead of support faster adoption of solar power. They’re cutting a successful Net Metering rebate system 2 years early. There’s a promise by the wildly anti-environment SaskParty, even during Brad Wall’s years,

The Democracts mostly don’t mind having a President going out of his mind after being boiled frogs thanks to Trump and Bush. Check out Biden’s rambling answer in a debate. #DeanScream2 ? If you’re not old enough, look into what happened to Howard Dean for the 2004 campaign. Record players

Half of the kitty cats just walked by to sniff my hand only to keep walking as I started to pet them, so they wouldn’t be mistaken as being too interested in more petting. Charlie just came up to me again, and left when I tried to pet him. In

Can you not wait to buy Crapple’s new InPod with Dolbee 5.1 surround sound in your head, from advanced headphones that are actually inside your noggin’? They’ve found a way to actually put the InPod inside of you. You don’t want to know where they have to put the USB

Jeff Cliff interviewed me for his Facebook Live stream on Sunday. We discussed Saskatchewan politics, media, blogging, censorship, and the Amazon Fires. For instance, I can link to Facebook, but people trying to link here from Facebook are told my blog doesn’t meet Facebook’s “Community Standards”. If you can figure

“What is happening here is a crime” – Brazillian fascist President accusing environmentalists of what he’s done. “I am not looking for who is responsible.” https://t.co/SoBmT90cDf — John Klein (@JohnKleinRegina) August 23, 2019 Remember to think well of the dead, even if they wished you and yours death with every

The Premier of Saskatchewan has posted a Confederate flag on his Twitter account. One whole day later and he still hasn’t deleted this. — Michael Poos (@michaelpoos) July 23, 2019 Your position now would seem to suggest that ReTweeting the Premier was a mistake? pic.twitter.com/dCUOMC0hI8 — Saskboy (@saskboy) July 23,

VIA is advertising a $15 child fare. That’s for kids under 12 years of age. Still, it’s $516.60 to go to Winnipeg for four days with the family of four, from Melville, SK (the closest train station to Regina). We’d have to rent or borrow a car to get there.

CBC has a history of providing a substandard democracy experience for its owners, the Canadian public. Over a decade ago I organized a Regina protest in front of CBC Saskatchewan to object to the broadcasting corporation’s exclusion of Elizabeth May from the leaders debate. Years later she managed to win

@tbeaudrymellor maybe you've no say in your party's communications, but are you embarased enough to ask them to stop mocking a zero-emission and healthy way to commute in cities? Failing to promote health is bad enough.https://t.co/mqhsbeZfcn#skpoli — Saskboy (@saskboy) July 13, 2019 I had no respect for the SaskPotty before

I will keep bigging up Marina’s impossibly brilliant work until she is rightfully appointed Queen of Everything.

I don’t much care for his strategy most of the time, but the Greens can’t keep doing the same thing when the other parties are playing to run out the clock. We’ve less than eleven years left to maybe, hopefully have enough time to get emissions to a point where

Canadian Cons desperately want to have MAGA as a campaign slogan because it worked so well for the President. That’s why they want to Make Asthma Great Again, and remove fuel standards. Put lead back into the gas, we need more stupid people from brain damage. If you know anyone

And the feckless politicians who haven’t replaced Greyhound are sucking too. Officially one full year of stewing about governments ignoring Greyhoundexit! There's literally *no excuse* not to fund public long distance transport in a time of MMIWG, climate emergency, and escalating inequality & I wrote about it here: https://t.co/0qowNrrscw #cdnpoli
