Music Monday – “There’s the progress we have found (when the rain)/A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)/Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)/Isn’t anything at all (melt the statues in the park)/Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky”

This song is usually interpreted as being about acid rain but on the day Saskatchewan (and three other provinces) has a federal carbon tax enacted, I thought it was appropriate… “Fall On Me” – R.E.M.

Comparing The Cuts: Cornwall Alternative School and Saskatchewan’s Public Libraries #skpoli

I was having some bad flashbacks over the past few days after the Sask Party released their budget last week that included an unexpected, unnecessarily cruel cut. But instead of cutting funding to public libraries and threatening to destroy a 100-year old, world-leading system like they did two years ago, the Sask Party targeted Cornwall […]

Saturday Snap – What’s The Worst That Can Happen If Your Mom Is A Nurse and Your Dad Is A Librarian?

I can only hope our son escapes the indignity of becoming Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada! 😉

Friday Fun Link – Moose Jaw Engages In A Battle of the “Meese”

In a province where we take pride in our large roadside attractions, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan has long prided itself on having the world’s largest moose. Except that a few years ago, those dirty bastard Norwegians have raised the ante(lers) by erecting a moose statue that is Max the Moose (by 31 cm) compared to Moose Jaw’s […]

Saturday Snap – A Nice Note From #yqr @sarcanrecycling

Had a fun moment at Sarcan today. Earlier this week, we finally got around to trying their “Drop & Go” option where you can just leave your cans and bottles with some kiosk-generated tags then, a few days later, you later get a call that a cheque is ready. This is way easier than waiting in […]

Massive Ice Storm Hits Saskatchewan #skoutage

Pretty crazy day. The power was out from around 9am until early afternoon or even later across most of the southern half of the province.  Most businesses, schools and other organizations (including the library) closed down (except for a couple branches that had power) for the day. Makes you appreciate that this is not a […]
