Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

This makes me think of Canada Post right now. If sitting down with a blank slate, nobody in 2025 would design a postal system in which a person walked to every home in a city every single day. Let’s re-envision a postal system that is effective and affordable.

Here are some disappointing facts about solar power generation in Sask.
1. Sask is one of only two provinces that does not provide credit for power pushed back into the grid at the same rate it charges for electricity taken out of the grid. I pay about 15 cents/kWh, and get 7.5 cents credit.

Any possible chance our premier and his esteemed cabinet is rethinking the decision to continue to sell American liquor in our stores?
How about maintaining the large unoccupied stock of Sask housing and making them available? How about getting our water bombers fixed so they can fight fires?

The Traitor team of Smith and Moe putting Nazi booze back on the shelves is really paying off on the trade front.
Who knows what Canada could really do if these two weren't drilling holes in Canada's boat.

On the day we find out that the provincial gov’t let Sask burn with 4 of their 10 water bombers on the ground (as well as the new one the premier said had not been delivered, but was), we also find out it has committed to rebuilding the coal burning electrical generating plants in the province. 🤦♂️😩😡

Minister Jeremy Harrison has just directed SaskPower to rebuild its coal-fired power plants and continue running them past 2030. The letter directs SaskPower to begin by putting Boundary Dam unit 4 back in service. This decision is problematic for many, many reasons and I list some of them below:

I would be interested to hear from people who support the action being taken by the government against the protestors in California, but hated the action taken by the government against the protestors in Ottawa, or vice versa. To you, what is the diff that makes you support one but not the other?
