Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Labrador’s School System Causes Distraction
Send the teachers and administrators home for causing a distraction. Mistaking 2014 for 1914, they sent young women (and even a couple men) home for wearing clothing that showed some skin *gasp*. This sort of body control aimed at women, has no place in a modern school system.

The NSA had claimed that Ed Snowden hadn’t contacted superiors with concerns about their illegal activity. They released an email attempting to discredit his claim that he had raised concerns, and the email proves Snowden was telling the truth. The Washington Post has published a response from Snowden to NSA’s

A recent poll has shown that nuclear power doesn’t have majority support in Saskatchewan, and I think that’s fine. My own family has mixed attitudes toward it. My parents, who own 17 solar panels, wouldn’t mind seeing nuclear power in Saskatchewan, while I oppose the waste-producing nuclear technology available today.

The Harper Conservative party promised a Made in Canada plan to address climate change, in response to backing out of Kyoto. That plan never came, which was no surprise to people paying attention to their true agenda of high pollution at the expense of our health and climate. “Stephen Harper

An interesting ethical debate is taking place. FirstLook Media, the controversial and adversarial media outlet owned by PayPal’s inventor, has withheld the name of the 5th country the NSA collects recordings of all phone calls from. SOMALGET and MYSTIC are Top Secret programs revealed by the Snowden leaks from the

John Oliver has it right. Who “gives a shit” if 1 in 4 Americans are wrong about a fact? The “news” should stop polling to find out what proportion of Americans are wrong, unless they want the rest of the world to laugh harder at them. Do owls exist? Are

This is incredible! I didn't think this kind of astrophotography was going to be possible so soon! cbc.ca/news/technolog… #space— John Klein (@JohnKleinRegina) May 13, 2014 The ability to photograph light from a planet around a distant star is not something that was scientifically possible in the 1990s and last decade,

Walked around Balboa Park. Gave a 50 cent coin to a magician, maybe he’ll use it in his act in the future. Got lost, found my wag son after crossing a bridge. Saw another Apollo command module, this was 9 Gumdrop. Woke at 5am to some man yelling help a

Americans hear this on their news last night. “Feds Issue Tighter Regulations For Trains Hauling Highly-Flammable Crude” Canadians are told this of their explosive oil in unsafe train cars. “B.C. municipality chaffs at railways’ requirement for secrecy about dangerous cargos traveling through town” You have to wonder if the Harper

Some behind the scenes numbers about Elections Canada’s impotent investigation into illegal robocalls… [note Prime Contact, which came up in the blogosphere earlier this week.] 81.

If Canada’s “SIGINT” (Signals Intelligence) agency doesn’t have records to share with Elections Canada of malicious #robocalls made outside of Canada aimed at disrupting our federal election, then what good is CSEC doing for our democracy? Tracking Brazilian terrorists? Production orders were obtained for records from Rogers, Shaw and Videotron.
