“I have no shame in pleading to the public” – Sask Chief Public Health Officer Gets Emotional

I don’t think Scott Moe has the emotional maturity and empathy to speak like this… Moe does, however, has the ability to turn Saskatchewan into a dystopian nightmare… Several of my patients were selected for evacuation to Ontario this week.

Music Monday – “This is where we test out our replacement needs/This is where we’re knitting mitts for refugees/This is where we medicate in bathroom stalls/This is where we call home from a payphone down the hall”

Community group Millennium for All is fighting for welcoming, just, accessible and fully funded libraries. “Millennium For All” – John K. Samson

But I’ve never understood being exempted on religious grounds. Even if you believe in […]

One of Saskatchewan’s Highest Profile Anti-Vaxxers & Former PPC Candidate Rumoured To Be In Saskatoon Covid Ward

But I don’t think he qualifies for the Herman Cain Award…yet. I want ZERO Saskatchewan residents to die from covid. Pro-vax, anti-vax, young or old. Perfect health or numerous comorbidities, it's a gruesome way to suffer and die. My condolences to @MarkFriesen08 as I've verified someone with his name is at RUH. — Kyle Anderson […]

A Few Random Thoughts From 2021 @Sask_NDP Virtual Convention

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.

Everything Wrong With The National Day for Truth & Reconciliation (A Partial & Incomplete List)

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 […]
