@gussynichols @leaderpost I don't trust Postmedia because of Op-eds like that, and like this: https://t.co/laJsQZahEb #nuclear? No mention. — Saskboy K. (@saskboy) November 29, 2015 Ironic @leaderpost & @StarPhoenix choose Day 1 of #COP21 to launch poorly researched anti-#wind OpEd.

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: #NewLeaderPost Launched
I was invited to the New Leader Post launch, a party for some LP staff and community leaders and advertisers they wanted to pitch the new design and layout to. They’ve a new mobile app, and focus on content specific to each sort of delivery method. The food and drinks at The Lobby Public House […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: #TwoFacedTom Lukiwski Should Resign
Moose Jaw and Regina area MP Tom Lukiwski should resign. He was caught on video by a reporter calling an NDP candidate “an NDP whore”. Lawrence, Lukiwski’s Conservative buddy denies the slur, claiming he says “an NDP horde”, even though that makes little sense in the context of the speech. I checked Conservative publications on […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Creating a Mob May Be Easy
…But controlling a mob isn’t something you can really predict. What’s the Saskatchewan Premier doing releasing an open letter to the Prime Minister calling for a “pause” and “delay” to refugee settlement? He’s equating terrorism in France with Syrian refugees on their way to live in Saskatchewan. That’s a terrible,

Oh right, that evidence of their crimes and misuse of taxpayer money. Know what's a great trick? Getting ppl to argue whether it's the purview of the PMO or other partisan dept when taxpayers fund it all anyway — Not Steve Harper (@pmoharper) June 25, 2013 Paul Wells wrote this

When Harper appointed Carson as a top adviser, the fraud used his position to undermine research into climate change. About the only part not worth reading is the line saying “There is no easy way to cut emissions and grow the economy”, and now you’ve read it, and can recognize
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Dead Boy In The Sea
Wednesday’s Twitter feeds were jammed with the body of a young corpse of a boy facing down in the sand as an authority stood over the body and soon picked him up to carry his body away. I realized the boy was from a refugee family that didn’t make a
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Watson Quits The Star
This story is worth mentioning, because it’s about a Canadian journalist who stood up to censorship by their paper’s editors. It’s the sort of courage also described by Wab Kinew at his Minifie Lecture a couple years ago. Why did you resign from the Toronto Star? Part of what got
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Fair and Balanced Questions
As you probably know, “Fair and Balanced” is the Fox News tagline that exists to trick the more easily fooled into thinking that’s what their actual objective is. Check out today’s story from the Vancouver Observer about “@FairQuestions”, a Conservative friendly researcher who took thousands of dollars in speaking fees
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Made In Canada Conservative Hypocrisy
“Canada had long been a proponent of harmonizing our climate-change policy with the U.S. until the U.S. started to fight climate change.” First it was the “Made in Canada” scam plan (that never appeared). Then it was, “We will act when our American partners do.” Now that Americans are acting,
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Canada’s Oily Media
There are opportunities to support journalism in Canada that doesn’t take millions from the oil industry and the oil-soaked Conservative government. Had you heard that the Conservative Party communicated with Enbridge, in secret, through Mike Duffy? If you don’t watch independent journalism online, you might miss important news like that.
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: 2020 Solar Power for 100% of Saskatchewan Homes Possible
This letter appeared in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix on Saturday. In response to Kurt Soucy’s letter about the cost of powering the entire provincial grid with Photovoltaic (PV) solar power, I’d like to voice my support for his idea. It’s also possible to power every Saskatchewan household with concentrated solar
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Fisk On Harper
It’s articles like this one that make you wonder if the Canadian media is telling you everything you need to know. (Seriously though, that’s plainly obvious.) If Stephen Harper is serious about criminalising ‘barbaric cultural practices’, then he should arrest himself for even suggesting it And while he’s at it,
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Saskatchewan Needs a Real Change of Destination
Greg is making a good point in his latest column, but I had to throw in a Green campaign slogan into the title in good fun. The bottom line really is that the Sask Party is propping up the dying fossil fuels industry, while calls to divest from it are
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Leave It In The Ground
The world has much more coal, oil and gas in the ground than it can safely burn. That much is physics. Watch this compelling, factual argument about how to solve the climate crisis. I first became aware of this straightforward idea after watching Do The Math by 350.org run by
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Climate Change AKA Global Warming Denial History
Here the case is made that “global warming” was supplanted by “climate change” because it sounded less urgent, (much as tarsands became oilsands), and other history is presented about the Denial movement infesting political discourse. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/planet-oz/2015/mar/05/doubt-over-climate-science-is-a-product-with-an-industry-behind-it Bad Science: A Resource Book – described in Merchants of Doubt as a “how-to

The unethical fools at the Broadcast Consortium will probably gladly keep Elizabeth May away from the debates this year too. Especially amusing is the Conservative spokes-tool saying more participants would make it a gong show. Mulcair wanting a debate focused on women, while angling to keep the only female leader
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Hot Room Politics
Media in Ottawa are too busy eating each other alive to focus on the main course passing authoritarian Bill C-51. Glen McGregor takes the proposed Press Gallery changes apart. @pdmcleod fair enough, moneybags. New territory to me. What's a more apt description? — Jesse Brown (@JesseBrown) February 24, 2015 @laura_payton
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: National Post Guilty of Defaming Climate Change Scientist
It shows the misguided focus of the national Postmedia “tabloid” when they let a star like Mike De Souza go, and hang onto a convicted libeler like Terence Corcoran. Maybe the Post will hire Levant next and bulk up their libeler ranks a little? I am absolutely thrilled with today's
