The largest hurricane recorded is underway, and it’s hitting the US and Canada. Is it because of climate change? The short answer is, yes. If you’re asking that question because you’re wondering if climate change is real, the answer is, yes it is real and we have to make a

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: ConCalls: The Sanctity of Election Fraud
Below is my comment left on Sixth Estate regarding the disastrously wrong Supreme Court decision yesterday. It protects the sanctity of election fraud, instead of Canadians’ right to vote in fair elections. It’s “irregular” for there to be missing documents and many missing signatures from people vouched for. If it

The Saskatchewan civic election is winding up in half an hour. Polls close at 8pm, so get in line to vote ASAP if you haven’t yet. I’ll be out at some post-election parties where I’ll find out if it’s been me or one of my worthy challengers who’ve become the

A well known Wood Mountain resident passed away recently after a long cancer illness. Sherry Mielke was a friend of my family, and it’s not going to be the same visiting my parents’ home. I grew up working with Sherry’s computer requests, and building computers for her and her family

The civic elections for Regina and municipalities in Saskatchewan are coming up on Wednesday Oct. 24th, 2012. It’s more significant to me than most elections, because this is the first where I’m on a ballot. Well, you won’t see “Saskboy” on the ballot, but you will see my “in-real-life” mainstream-alter-ego’s
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Clean Coal?
Romney said during the first debate there is an “Economy Tax”, and the US “can continue to burn clean coal”. Neither exists. The former was his attempt to coin a phrase, and the latter is a (very dangerous) lie. “Clean coal” is a phrase paid for by the dirty coal

A little strange news linked to the election fraud of last year: The Liberal MP Borys W., who led the case to have Etobicoke Centre’s results overturned successfully, was once told by Israel to not go to Lebanon. It’s presumably not usual for a country’s ambassador to demand an elected

While at the Hoover Dam, we were told there were no tours available. We later found out it was not a technical issue and there was a VIP in a limo that had gone by while we were in the visitor centre. President Obama was visiting, on his way to

Sad morning in Canadian country/folk music as word spreads that Raylene Rankin of The Rankin Family has died of cancer at 52 . She passed away in hospital in Halifax. Last Summer, April and I went to the Red Shoe Pub, the Rankins’ cafe in Cape Breton, in hopes that

It is only people who face adversity who have the best stories to tell. No one wrote a book about a perfect family, where nothing ever went wrong. Maybe that is why I’m not such a great teller of stories, I had too easy a life? I don’t think I’d

What trust is there to maintain? There were (hundreds of) thousands of illegal phonecalls made in the May 2011 election, and there’s not been a single charge laid by Elections Canada or the RCMP. They are sitting on evidence that links Prescott’s browser session to Pierre Poutine’s browser session. The

Rant on, while you still can. The right to rant is not won through timidity and withdrawing from struggles. There will always be something that you disagree with, it’s just important to rant now and then for what’s important to you because nothing gets better without the effort made by

With the War on Drugs deemed an abject failure, it’s time to focus our security state on some other threat. I propose Office Supplies. The police have a head start, and the Office Supply dealers don’t see it coming. First staplers, now pens. The War on Office Supplies continues in

I attended Hedges lecture at the UofR on Thursday night, and I think most of the crowd was impressed as was I. He did get a standing ovation when done. Then he took questions. Here is some of what went on in Tweet form (reverse chronology): A south Sudanese woman

Priceless, irretrievable, unexplored stone markings in Alberta have been intentionally destroyed by unknown criminals using methods employed by the Taliban to erase investigation of history. Vandals with power tools, acid, and apparent historical-genocide as motive, ruined a look into Canada’s ancient past. It’s an international disgrace, and for what? For

-(Federal Court, ASS. PRESS) The Council of Canadians (CoC) court challenge is fiiiinalllly underway in Federal Court this morning. Well, sort of. It’s defending itself against the Conservatives who are complaining that the CoC is partisan (In other news, irony detectors just exploded today across the country). Unlike my It’s
