@saskboy @afixedaddress The people affected by this, the general public, don't make the decisions. These trains are not full of politicians.— Nikki Eaton (@n_eato) December 31, 2012 When Canadians are so far off track, even when they are literally on tracks waiting for a train blockade to clear, we need

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: ISS over Regina
I was checking to see the next time the International Space Station would fly over Regina’s skies, and saw it was in two minutes! (There are only a few times a week it is visible for a couple minutes, sometimes none.) I threw on my ski pants and coat, and

When it’s too cold to explain, photos will have to do. I don’t go to church anymore, and didn’t want to long before I stopped going. This year I was invited to two different Christmas church services, and ended up going to neither. When I do go, it’s out of

I’ll be around, but justice will be working on its homework, and set to deliver their assignment about 600 days late. Marks may be deducted for lack of punctuality. The criminally guilty get a second Christmas on the wrong side of jail cell bars. Some polls besides Ekos clearly show

Another exciting day of protest in Regina, and across the country, as Canadians rise up against the Harper regime and their undemocratic ominbus bills. This was at least the second march down Regina’s main street, Albert St. in the past weeks, and the second appearance of a crowd of hundreds
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: President Harper of Electoral (Fraud) Democracy
Democracy is eroded in Canada. The media shows glimmers of understanding the threat to democracy, but then let up and treat everything as normal, so Canadians calm down and go about their daily chores pleased to kick a reckoning down the road. If a scandal on F-35 scale – total

Harper and the Governor General don’t offer a spoonful of respect, let alone justice. Attawapiskat Chief Spence reissues call for PM, GG treaty meeting I wish our Prime Minister and Governor General cared enough about the self-imposed suffering of a brave First Nations leader, to meet with her for an

I rode the bus, ended up at another mall, decided on a movie, found out it was Tuesday and only $2. Win! “Looper” [8/10] bent my brain a little, but wasn’t a time travelling classic I fear. It was trying to be complex, and although I didn’t predict the ending,

Elizabeth May’s diabolical plan was tucked away in plain sight, in a tiny publication on Vancouver Island: “What I want to be able to do is get better research and support and make it available to backbenchers who don’t get much help from their own parties. ‘There are lots of

The judge in the Council of Canadians’ challenge to 6 Conservative MPs election victories on May 2, 2011, will rule in the coming year he’s indicated. It may be April or later until we have a bilingual ruling on the most important court case in the land. I expect appeals

I always find it so interesting to see people making well in excess of $100,000/year. I really have to stretch to find ways to spend it all in my imagination. Feels a bit like Brewster’s Millions. There are some jobs where I think it’s acceptable to make well more than
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Shooting at a Place of Education
The mass shooting in Connecticut was tragic, and it’s amplified by instantaneous news making irresponsible reports, misidentifying accused suspects, and encouraging copy-cats by propelling the shooter to world-wide notoriety instead of leaving them in obscurity where they came from. It doesn’t take a malicious act such as this to harm
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: ConCalls: Timely #RoboCon
Arthur Hamilton is the Conservatives’ Lawyer in Federal Court today. May 2, 2011 was election day, and it was 592 days ago. There was an Elections Canada investigation underway immediately after, despite the agency being aware of complaints 3 days prior to the election. Hamilton is possibly the lawyer who
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: ConCalls: A Proof is a Proof #RoboCon
How do you show that a crime of statistics, like election fraud robocalls, is effective? Several ways. The Conservatives who benefited from the crime want ordinary citizens to come up with protected phone records that show victims were robocalled, play recorded examples of the crime, provide names of people who

No new information in this post, just something I found ironic and amusing. On Feb 21, 2011[sic; 2012] I queried and accessed “freeproxyserver.ca” from my home computer. I did this from my home computer as my Elections Canada computer firewall blocked access under “Category: Proxy Avoidance”. I just noticed the

A very disturbing bit of news from northern Saskatchewan is getting some press recently. This was sent to me on the weekend about a gag order issued for Canadian citizens in a northern community named Pinehouse. Pinehouse’s political leadership may sign away their citizens’ constitutional rights (which isn’t legal, obviously),

The Council of Canadians was fending off deflecting notions by the Conservatives’ lawyer Arthur Hamilton in Federal Court, that they stand to gain money from defending democratic rights of Canadian citizens to have a fair election. You can look at the live-tweets of Postmedia and Ottawa Citizen reporters Maher and

I caught some movies lately, including “Lincoln” [9/10], and “Perfect Pitch” [6/10]. “Life of Pi” [9/10] was much better than both of them, however. “Lincoln” was an interesting history lesson, it just didn’t feel like it was more than a mini-series condensed. UPDATE Dec. 14 – Watched “Lord of the

A bitterly cold -16 Celsius temperature didn’t deter over 100 people from turning out to voice their concerns about the Conservatives’ omnibus bill C-45 passed in haste last week. The people also were there to support the First Nations leaders who attempted to confront the MPs in the House, and
