Professor Robert Buckingham, a long time professor at the University of Saskatchewan, was recently fired for speaking out about some major ongoing budget cuts and restructuring plans at the U of S. The University administration claimed that there was a difference between the freedom of expression tenured professors should expect for expressing controversial or politically incorrect […]
For the past few weeks, Pace has been getting increasingly excited about a concert that he’d been preparing for at his school. Shea and I had received some info from the school but hadn’t realised what a big deal it was until recently – that his school was the only one in all of Saskatchewan to […]
Especially relevant with the new Saskatchewan Employment Act being proclaimed the other day…
Here’s a clip of the band we went to see last Friday night. The name of the song isn’t given and I feel like my 17 year old self listening to “Smells Like Teen Spirit” trying to make out the lyrics so you only get the most basic of lyric excerpts as the title of […]
Sasha enjoying her one year check-up with one of Saskatchewan’s best doctors…

As a cathartic process after the loss, I’d compiled a list of “44 Reasons We Lost” in my personal […]
Today on Facebook, a friend asked if I’d seen this particular flavour of Hammond’s chocolate bars. I’d seen the regular kind (and had bought my mom and dad one as a gift when Sasha was born) but if I’d seen this kind, I don’t know if I’d ever eat another kind of chocolate bar again!
Saskatchewan’s Mark McMorris brought home Canada’s first Olympic medal, a bronze in the slope style competition. This is pretty amazing considering he broke a rib only a couple weeks ago at the Winter X Games (not to mention that he’s a kid from the flat Canadian prairie of course!) 😉 McMorris grew up in Regina. The closest […]
