Conservative? I Do Not Think That Word Means What You Think It Means

So it was just announced that the Sask Party, which initially projected potash revenues to be $1.9 billion will actually only bring $109 million to provincial coffers (a whopping 95% LESS than they projected! )  Now, whether your political colour is orange or green, blue or red, purple or pink, if you put aside the […]

Saturday Snap – Rider Nation (November 7, 2009)

Tonight, the Riders clinched the CFL's Western Division for the first time in thirty-three years.  (We won't spend time contemplating this level of futility in what has long been a four-team division – yikes!)  Anyhow, since I used my most current Rider-themed photo last week, I thought I'd dig in the archives for one from […]

An Annual Tradition On This Blog Somewhere Around This Time of Year

Well, definitely last year anyhow and I think back in 2006 too from the look of things.  I'm sure I did this in 2007 too but the post wasn't tagged, keyworded or referred to in any identifiable way.  (Uhm, NP: “First Snow of the Year” – Hawksley Workman by the way.)

Breakdown of NHL Opening Day Rosters

An interesting graphic of how different NHL teams break down by region/country, size, weight and age. I'm not going to do the math but I'll just assume that, with 40 players for a population of a million people, Saskatchewan is still the most heavily represented jurisdiction in the NHL on a per-capita basis, both on […]

Some Political Quick Hits: Szarka, Link, Chartier, and Enough Games From Harper and Ignatieff

When we went to Moose Jaw for Noah Evanchuk's nomination a couple weeks ago, someone mentioned that they hadn't seen a lot of politics on my blog recently.  I have no idea what I babbled as a response but the truth is that this blog was never meant to be a political outlet and that […]

Music Monday – "So I've been telling old stories, singing songs/That make me think about where I came from"

2009 is apparently the 250th birthday of Robbie Burns, a fact I only discovered while searching for clips from one of my favourite Saskatchewan singer-songwriters, Eileen Laverty.  I'm way past Robbie Burns Day but I'll still post it here…such a beautiful song…three days in a row with content to bring a tear to your eye!

Saturday Snap – Noah Evanchuk Is Your NDP Candidate in Palliser

It's not something I spend a great deal of time thinking about but I do feel fortunate that I belong to a profession that's consistently ranked as one of the most valued in society (librarians and firefighters usually battle for the “most important public service” title when citizens in various cities are surveyed each year.)  […]
