Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Jan Lake Lodge (July 2014)

With the wildfires burning in northern Saskatchewan (and really, across much of Canada’s north), I can’t help but think of the handful of times I’ve been able to travel to the north of the province for vacations or even work. This was a fishing trip we did with Shea’s family in 2014.

Saturday Snap – Above Ground Pool

My brother-in-law and his wife (and their young son who saved his money to help contribute!) got an above ground pool for their acreage which is halfway between where we camp at Nickle Lake and Weyburn. Still too cold for me but Sasha and her cousin were brave enough to try it out.  Will be […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Five Takeaways From 2025 Canadian Election

One of the wildest elections in Canadian history – massive swings in fortunes, two party leaders losing their seats, the US being a major factor in the Canadian results, NDP reduced to non-party status after being arguably the most effective NDP caucus in history, electoral reform once again seems like a necessity. @aartipole1 It was […]

“Conservatives, Your Anger Is Valid. But it’s being hijacked.”

In light of yesterday’s election results and the repudiation of Pierre Poilievre’s “Maple MAGA” politics of anger, division and THREE WORD SLOGANS, I’m going to fully copy something I saw on Facebook that makes a lot of sense: Conservatives: your anger is valid. But it’s being hijacked. You’re not losing your country because of “woke […]
