Shea and I signed up to attend the virtual Sask NDP convention this weekend. We’ve been to a handful of conventions over the years since our first in 2009 – mostly in years when there was a leadership vote but also as delegates from our constituency on occasion. (With that said, we’re not actively involved […]
Hudson’s Bay Company selling orange shirts. Provincial governments such as Saskatchewan who don’t declare it a holiday (even as some cities within those provinces do). Catholic schools putting the Christian cross on their orange shirts. Businesses, organizations & people that don’t buy their orange shirts from Indigenous companies. Our federal government and its representatives continuing […]
Rolling Stone has totally remade their “Best Songs of All-Time” list from scratch. Still probably a bit too heavy on Boomer Rock Classics but at least they’re trying… I posted the #1 pick just a few months ago so will post the #2 song which definitely shows how the list has changed… “Fight The Power” […]

Eternal optimist that I am, I keep saying that Covid has had some unintended benefits. One of those is because we couldn’t do a winter trip this year, it also meant we had more holidays to take in the summer – two weeks in July but also two weeks in August which we don’t usually […]
Sure, we have three anniversaries but today happens to be one of them so I thought I’d mention it! 🙂 For those who don’t know how we ended with *three* wedding anniversaries, here’s the story… First off, due to the red tape and expense of a legal destination wedding at the time, we chose to […]
Recent Signs That Covid is Over: 1. Had a rare inside, sit-down restaurant meal earlier this week with my parents and Pace (possibly his first inside meal in a year and a half?!?) 2. Got invited for some patio drinks with neighbours one evening this week 3. Nickle Lake is bringing back Friday Family movies […]
