I am an impatient man. Just ask anyone who knows me. But make it quick. For example, I will not wait in line. For anything. A ‘line’ to me is any more than three people. I’ll walk out of a store with my shopping cart full before I’ll wait in

Excited Delirium: The CBC vs Twitter
The CBC shouldn’t pull their presence with Twitter following their new ‘label’ from Musk … they should lean into the issue and focus on dispelling the myths and nonsense being spread by Poilievre. The post The CBC vs Twitter first appeared on Excited Delirium.

There's a clear reason this happened, and satirists around the world are noting it.https://t.co/QKs3LPOsXR — Saskboy from Saskatchewan (@saskboy) April 17, 2023 On the eve of this Roughriders season, it's a reminder that government transparency matters.

Let’s begin with a little quiz. Fill in the blank: the “legitimate heir to Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson and Beyonce” is _____. Tough one, right? Taylor Swift, maybe? Lady Gaga? John Legend? Slim Whitman? Frank Sinatra and … All wrong. According to the once-esteemed Time magazine, the answer is …

Dear Premier: The Government of Saskatchewan’s decision to end masking requirements in Saskatchewan Health Authority facilities is a very poor policy change. Many of these facilities are serving the most vulnerable people in our province, those who are chronically ill and immunocompromised. It’s unacceptable and inhumane for the provincial health

Forgive me for being frank. Scott Moe’s government is going to do Eff all. Bottom line is our GHG emissions are rising at a time we desperately need to be curbing them. One of Regina’s best economists is noting how we’re not doing enough, too. It’s the carbon budget that

It’s tough being an Edmonton Oilers fan these days. One game you think they might make some real noise in the playoffs, the next game, you think they shouldn’t even make the playoffs. But no matter how consistently inconsistent the Oilers may be, we can count on three things: Gene

I’m glad I’m not raising kids today, and not just because I am old enough to be a grandfather by now. I am worried that the new generation, the kids in school right now, are going to be the most coddled, protected and privileged generation ever. You can’t fail them,

Making sense of world events is always a challenge. Corporate media reports are usually superficial and misleading, lack historical perspective and are hobbled by ideological blinkers that prevent alternative, critical analyses from surfacing. While alternative voices exist, you won’t find them in the corporate-owned mainstream media because, as the late
