Can anyone out there follow the disjointed logic of the Harperite’s regarding marijuana? Their attempt to slam Trudeau’s plan to legalize pot for recreational purposes has backfired. Read Robyn Urbanks story that ran in the National Post. Obviously Harper and his caucus have taken their terms of reference in issues surrounding

.@SusanFelucifer @acoyne We have a deep seated fear of high places, since none exist here. Closed off top floor public observatories too.— Saskboy K. (@saskboy) July 24, 2014 While reading news page comment sections, even hopeless trolls who’d normally mock people saving trees by “hugging” them, have seen the light

Hi everybody, just a random update from your friendly Intransigent blogger, to lighten the mood around here. I have a tale of a happy convergence of circumstances. One day, I’m at the horse rescue and another volunteer invites me to come to a different horse-establishment to meet her horse. Of

it’s summer. We don;t need to talk politics all the time. here’s a song from the past that some people will remember. It only did well in this part of North America likely because we are the only ones who didn’t think these people had an accent. -srbp-

For a brief history of Stampede fashion, you can read the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2013 round-ups – or “100 Years of Bad Photo-Ops“ This week’s pilgrimage of politicians to the Stampede was met with less fanfare than some years gone by. This wasn’t the first rodeo

I’m having trouble prefacing this article, as it is just that weird. I’m thinking we can categorize it under ‘People do wacky things’ for the moment. “Environmental Protection Agency workers have done some odd things recently. Contractors built secret man caves in an EPA warehouse, an employee pretended

One video, sixteen minutes equals deep insight into how American society runs. (Hint: Most likely not for your benefit.) I grow tired of hearing arch-conservatives rail on about the evils of regulation and how it stifles industry. People die because of deregulation and lax standards – but somehow the

Many of you will remember Dan Murphy’s brilliant video satires that ran in the Vancouver Province. Well that is until Enbridge, who buy a zillion dollars worth of misinformation advertising, demanded that the pretend newspaper yank this video and they did. Vancouver Province editors recognize that balance is a good

Here’s some news hot out of Alberta. Only one of them is satirical. The other satirical bit is that Saskatchewan’s Sask Party recently announced they’d be saving taxpayers millions of dollars by starting a P3 Bike Share like Stettler had. No wait, they said they were going to build P3

Here’s a very clever music video made by a Dion fan, in Vegas airport. There is some smart use of the moving sidewalk, and escalator, along with some nice video editing. Take a pair of Canadians, mix with @Vegas and @LASairport and magic ensues. Keep 'em coming south, @WestJet. vimeo.com/97634383—

I’ve always wondered why Lewis Carroll’s wonderful poem, The Hunting of the Snark – an Agony in Eight Fits – has never been redone, rewritten in a modern version, with modern references and people. It seems to lend itself to revision, at least to my eyes. Perhaps it’s because this sort of

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

At my latest visit to Rescue 100, I was fast enough with my camera to catch Sophia going for a roll. The ground was much drier, so she didn’t get super-messy. Yes, that is snow in the foreground. In May. More horse pictures below the cut A shot of Nazhoni,
