Rider Fans = Neanderthals?

The person who submitted this Letter to the Editor to the Calgary Herald didn't give their title.  But I suspect it might be “Agent for Henry Burris”. 

Go Riders Go!!!

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 […]

Too Tired To Type…Go Vote Tomorrow

Back from a 16 hour round-trip to Saskatoon for SILS training so heading to bed right quickly.  Just a quick reminder to go vote tomorrow!

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!
