Back in February I asked SaskPower how this project was going. Our Progress So Far In Fall of 2020, we engaged with neighbouring communities to discuss the proposed BESS plans. We’re now moving to the next phase of the project including project design and procurement. Other milestones include: Infrastructure Canada

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: You Won’t Be Able To Read This When You Want To
This is one of those things about our planet that people would want to look up on the Internet, but won’t be able to if it happens.

Two years ago the UK PM Boris Johnson almost died from COVID-19. About 3 months after that, he broke his own government’s COVID-19 public safety measures and had a birthday party for which he was recently fined for attending. He became the first British PM to be found to have

We’re still taking off our shoes because of one dude 21 years ago but can’t be bothered to wear masks after 1,000,000 dead from a virus that’s still killing over 500 a day. What a world. — Jason Sparks (10 Minute Version) (@sparksjls) April 19, 2022 Some ill-considered American judge

In 2019 I wrote a guide for people to help them decide which vehicle type saved them more money: an affordable used EV with a solar panel grid-tied system, or a used automatic Honda Civic hatchback with similar features. Here’s an update with some more recent figures given that the
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Scott Moe Doesn’t Care
It seems so obvious, I almost didn’t bother blogging about it. Scott Moe doesn’t care that Saskatchewan’s climate pollution is out of control. He barely admits there is a problem, instead pretending that it’s not one because he blames demand for carbon energy, not production of it. Scott Moe, asked
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Shahab Predicts COVID Will Wane by March 2022
The depravity of Shahab and Moe is really laid bare, as Canada enters the 2nd Omicron wave in no small part to the removal of public health measures. They shamefully led the way with reducing public health. Shahab is asked by CTV's Stefanie Davis safety schools re: no measures. Says
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: SaskPower: A Job Half Done
…is as good as none. If you’re impressed by SaskPower’s objective to reduce emissions by only half, by 2030, you’re setting the bar way too low. A big reason Saskatchewan is among the world’s worst per-capita polluters is because our electricity is a large lignite coal and fossil/natural gas component.
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Sweden Killed People
Really shocking news out of Sweden. Eugenicists have been setting policy, and children were being used as bio-weapons. Remember all the right wingers online touting Sweden as an example for the world in (not) responding to the COVID-19 threat? "Potentially life-saving treatment was withheld without medical examination, and without informing

Our society has entered the phase of the pandemic where most people are trying to pretend that everything is normal, and there’s nothing dangerous about eating in restaurants or sending kids to school. It reminds me of the climate crisis, how we’ll still fly domestically, and buy SUVs, despite the
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: A Great Day For Canada
About fricken time the Liberals and NDP came to an agreement to stop the never-ending short election cycle. This should have happened last year. Now let’s get some movement on electoral reform, the #ClimateCrisis, and reconciliation, among many other files the parties can agree on. The Greens are also likely

Aside from the insane invasion of democratic Ukraine by the Russians, there’s another pending catastrophe in store for humanity anywhere between this afternoon and the next 5000 years. Destruction from space rocks slamming into our atmosphere is a near certainty in our solar system, but we have technology that can
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Emergency Of Convenience
Inexplicably, after ending public health orders to protect people during the ongoing pandemic, the Saskatchewan Government extended the state of emergency enacted 2 years ago to deal with the pandemic. So why this clear case of hypocrisy? It’s not a change of heart. Yep. He’s clueless. pic.twitter.com/65b3tdzs9Y — Larry Hubich

A long thread on Twitter of the Twitter Space hosted by Prairie Tara: Tara J suggests 3 options:New party, or change the NDP, or improve the SK Liberals. Joel now speaking…https://t.co/RcNcXA2GWd — Saskboy from Saskatchewan (@saskboy) February 21, 2022 Hundreds tuned in, and dozens spoke. I was too busy making

Growing up in Saskatchewan, prior to cell phones, it was common to encounter a car at the side of the road, and you’d slow and stop to check they were okay. They might not see another person pass by for hours, and could be in need of a rescue. We

"I am going to stay out of telling them [protesters] what to do," said Sask. Premier Scott Moe of the ongoing demonstrations in Ottawa, Windsor and Coutts. "It certainly is going to get everyone's attention…and it isn't for me to judge ultimately whether they should or not." pic.twitter.com/ZwTVKxGHSE — Power

(I didn’t finish this blog post Sept 23, 2021, but it’s become even more relevant in today’s political climate.) Vaccination history in America isn’t what you’d expect. Medical people from the 1700s were backwards and didn’t even know about germs until microscopes and hand washing came into existence generations after

There’s a wind blowing in Canada, and it’s blowing away from public health measures that have kept most Canadians healthy and safe from the pandemic’s primary driver, the SARS-CoV2 virus. Somewhere between 1010 Saskatchewanians and about 4000 have perished in the last 2 years from the virus, while more than

I went to the protest of Scott Moe’s government at the Legislature today. Simultaneously down the blocked-off street there was a #FluTruxKlan protest by the anti-waxxers, and over by the lake a few people attending the skating rink for a Frost party. I went up to the dwindling crowd about

GoFundMe has frozen further donations from going to the convoy organizers. This was at the request of the Mayor of Ottawa, among other authorities becoming desperate to end the blockade peacefully. GoFundMe announces freeze of the fascists’ funding: GoFundMe supports peaceful protests and we believe that was the intention of
