Honestly, this government's policy response to crisis seems to be to must copy whatever the UCP in Alberta is doing. A real lack of direction. P.S. Globe and Mail, forced treatment is not a 'support.' Its forced incarceration and likely unconstitutional.

In Throne Speech, Saskatchewan vows drug-addiction supports, crackdown on crime

Legislation from Premier Scott Moe’s government could see those battling addictions receive treatment against their will

Not The People’s House anymore. In a country where corporations are people and money is protected speech, corporations now own the White House.

See the list of donors funding Trump's new White House ballroom, including Apple, Meta, and Amazon

Trump said on Wednesday that the project will cost "about $300 million." Among the major donors are several Big Tech companies.

The tree behind me was the site of a makeshift memorial to the first one of my students that died due to the addictions crisis.

As of last week the last of the students that made that first memorial are dead.

They are all dead. Leaving over 20 orphans.

Tragedy isn’t free. We deserve better.

Seeing bulldozers tearing down the east wing to build a monument to a dictator during a government shutdown is surreal. He really is unstoppable.

After promising affordability, Carney does this. They notoriously increase electricity costs for everyone, they also use half of a litre of water per question to AI. #cdnpoli

Thirsty AI data centres are coming to Canada, with little scrutiny or oversight | CBC News

Canada is poised to join the data centre boom. But as such projects face greater scrutiny around the world, there is little debate here about what this will mean for the country’s water.

So, Trump demanded Ukraine to submit to Putin’s ‘peace plan’ or face destruction , media report.

Well then, we don’t need to choose nothing actually.

Because Putin’s ‘peace plan’ is the destruction of Ukraine.

Who Owns Saskatchewan Now?

I don't know and neither does anyone else, because one signature at a time, the Sask Party has dismantled a century of farm ownership.

Agreed! His being allowed to voluntarily relinquish some (not all) of his titles is an underwhelming response to child sexual abuse and harassment.

Fun fact: a “war” is a conflict between nation-states. Unilaterally killing suspected “narco-terrorists” is just plain old murder.

Nothing uplifts you quite like mayor of your home town saying it’s could be a tough winter for Kyiv and urging people to prepare water, food supply and warm clothes.

A man choked his wife and admitted it. His penalty? 12 months probation. 3 months later, he broke into her garage and stole a hammer. His penalty? More probation. The judge called his actions “minor in nature”. No wonder women are reluctant to report.
