There’s half a dozen reasons I support Ryan in a single photo: 1) he’s now an MLA, 2) he spends a lot of time in the Legislative Library researching and reading, 3) he’s (probably) the only current MLA who has a book in that same library, 4) so many people I knew in that room […]
I was Googling around looking for something else the other day and stumbled upon this article from Global News from after the Spring Session of the Legislature last May where Global gave letter grades to some of the most high profile Ministers and MLA’s in both parties. I took away a few things from this article: […]
Apparently the latest research is showing that kids that don’t quite need regular glasses can still benefit from starting with reading glasses which, in turn, reduces their prescription when they do get glasses and also the odds of worse eye problems (glaucoma, etc.) later in life.

And maybe they are – the Sask Party race has been focused heavily on rural issues, small businesses, and the ever-looming shadow of controversial social issues. […]
This guy was elected three times and doesn’t know that you aren’t required to swear on a Bible when taking your oath of office? Wow. The only thing that would make this clip better is if Tapper said “Because he says he’s Christian” when the Moore spokesperson tries to pivot away from his slack-jawed, empty-eyed […]
