#LyingLeona Lies Again to the UN #cdnpoli
Canada’s Minister of the Environment is a jester. She says the most outrageous lies and expects people to buy them. Just a couple days ago in the House, a Conservative…
People’s Climate March
On Sunday I attended a climate rally in Regina with what looked to be well over a hundred other people. It’s too bad more of the 33,400 Rider fans in…
CAPP Gets A Cabinet Minister #skpoli
The headline of this Global story is wrong. “Sask. Party MLA Tim McMillan leaving politics to lead petroleum group“ CAPP is not outside of politics; they are a branch of…
Hunger Games 2
I watched “Hunger Games: Catching Fire” and it’s a lot like the first movie, so pretty nifty, but also somewhat predictable. It’s available from the Regina Public Library. Soon I…

Escape From Planet Earth

Freegan Food Activist Exposes Grocery Industry Waste
You’ve got to hear about Rob. He’s an interesting guy, doing what I did last Summer except on a much larger and more successful scale.
There Are Homeless People in Saskatchewan?

Charlie’s War
Saw “Charlie Wilson’s War” which explains the background behind the Soviet’s failure in Afghanistan, and paved the way for the Taliban to later take over. Today I saw “Cars 2″…
Twerps On A Plane
Once again a plane intended to ferry party-animal Canadians to a booze soaked week in the tropics, has “had” to turn back to Toronto. No, planes don’t have to go…

The latest Coyne article seems to be self defeating in its thesis. “It’s not evident what contribution another public inquiry would make,” opines Coyne. For one thing, we could have…
Wasteful Destruction in Gaza
The destruction of this apartment tower is ridiculous. How is it in any way acceptable for a state to destroy an obvious civilian complex with weapons of war? We’re supposed…
An Unstealable Bike
Coming soon, in six to ten months, in Spanish first. A bike made with a frame that comes apart and becomes the lock for the bike. If the lock is…
