Secular Sunday – Who Exactly Is Teaching Kids About “Socialism”?

A bit of a different take on secularism.  But since it’s usually heavily religious conservative people yelling “Socialism!” at anything they don’t like, I’ll allow it…

The Butterfly Effect of Trump’s Misadventure in Iran

Just incredible background and context to the butterfly effect of Trump’s egomaniacal disaster in Iran. https://t.co/0WNTcFvv5f — Dean Blundell?? (@ItsDeanBlundell) March 26, 2026

Friday Fun Link – A $2.5 Billion Robot, Designed To Function on Mars For Two Years, Is Still Working 13 Years Later!

A $2.5 billion robot has been alone on another planet for 13 years and is still doing science. The scale of that sentence gets worse the longer you think about it. Curiosity landed in August 2012. Obama was president. Instagram had 80 million users. The iPhone 5 hadn’t shipped… https://t.co/AzXQenKDnH — Aakash Gupta (@aakashgupta) March […]

Secular Sunday – Are You In The Game or Playing The Game?

Easily one of my favourite posters on TikTok.  This theory has a bit of the Red Pill/Blue Pill stuff that’s from the Matrix but in a less incel/nihlistic way of looking at things – more like “You know this is all not real.  It has no meaning.  So just enjoying playing the game.” @nononsensespirituality #nononsensespirituality […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Civic Engagement (February 2004, June 2009, Sept 2025)

I feel so fortunate to have grown up with parents who instilled a love of reading, news, politics and community engagement into me from a young age. Whether it was my dad reading the Leader Post from front-to-back every evening or my mom’s involvement on the Board of the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses, I have […]

Wisdom Wednesday – What Constitutes Great Customer Service (and How Far Is Too Far?)

A recent post in a Regina Rant & Rave group on FB got a lot of attention. Basically, a disabled person went to a Co-op gas station to get air in a low tire but couldn’t get it to work.  They talked to the manager who didn’t help.  But then a sixteen year old gas […]

Secular Sunday – Because They’re All The Same?

I recently talked to someone who could not believe that Shea and I have never taken our kids to church or introduced them to religion in any way. Obviously, not all religions are extreme as the two below.  But that’s a big clue why we don’t feel we need religious influence or guidance in our […]
