I went on a "safari" yesterday in downtown Saskatoon organized by the Saskatoon Heritage Society. The facades of many of the grand buildings here are Tyndall Stone, a highly fossiliferous dolomite limestone quarried in Manitoba and transported by rail to the city in the very early 20th century.

As Adam Tooze has pointed out, it is now China who is setting out the terms of modernity. They bet on "green". The U.S. is being hobbled by a reactionary political coalition of fossil capital, monopoly tech, and national security hawks.

#yxe Last chance to pull out Creeping Bluebell — they are going to seed now. They'll be back next year...their root system is extensive and they need to be dug out of the garden, but at least you can stop the spread. This is the most pernicious invasive plant in Saskatoon.

Poilievre keeps running with this GDP per capita argument, but it's very weak.

I'll settle with you for the $16 million the F.C.C. wants if you fire Colbert. Such a fucking fascist move. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/b...

They are fascists. Dougald Lamont gets it right. dougaldlamont.substack.com/p/marc-andre...

The most common retort from local climate change deniers is why should we take on the expense of transitioning to an electric economy when our impact is so minimal to the phenomenon of global warming.

We are being invaded, and it's war. Creeping Bluebell is choking out Lily of the Valley in our gardens. It is overlooked because it is pretty, but there is no perfumed scent to it and it is far inferior to the historically esteemed Lily of the Valley.

"They preached “a flight from democracy to safety: to gold, to family, to Christianity, a plea to divest from state money and into the metal...

In American history leading up to the Civil War there were many northerners who abided the economic arguments for the continuation of slavery, until the imperative of social obligation manifest in the language of personal conscience. So it is today with climate change.

Any expansion of oil and gas development without a commensurate plan to reduce carbon emissions is insane. It just is. Why don't Conservatives just come out and admit they don't believe in climate change. It will make the vote a simple one.

To the deniers and naysayers of climate change I can only say that we know in what direction to move.

It seems the argument being made now is that war is the path to peace. The moral and the economic justification is more difficult to make when the war is preemptive.

The South Saskatchewan river is as low as I've ever seen it in my decade living in Saskatoon. The Prairie Lily can't sail...and yet Scott Moe has publicly declared that he will evade federal law that has been substantiated by the Supreme Court of Canada

Didn't we see this movie before? The hesitancy of the Isolationists is not necessarily ill founded. What's the plan to avoid a quagmire? History exploding in our faces. The clown show is going to war.

Breaking down the politicization of energy in Saskatchewan and the rest of Canada. The best first step in reducing carbon emissions is to develop clean energy at the outset. As Chad Eggerman explains to Evan Bray, it happens to benefit farmers immensely. www.facebook.com/SaskatoonWes...

complete batshit insanity

Chad is with Erica Boudin of Cowessess First Nation and Chief Rob Head of Peter Chapman band...waiting for the arrival of Mark Carney on Sunday. Vote Chad Eggerman in Saskatoon West. #yxe #skpoli #Flatlanders

Saskatoon is ready to vote #CanadaStrong. Tomorrow, let’s send strong Saskatchewan voices to Ottawa.

On the last day of the campaign before the election, Mark Carney came to Saskatoon. Why?...because he thinks there is a winnable riding here. Make it Saskatoon West. Vote Chad Eggerman! #skpoli #Flatlanders

Chad will get it done because he has done it before. Vote Chad Eggerman in Saskatoon West. #skpoli #yxe #Flatlanders

Here to meet Mark Carney. Vote for Chad Eggerman in Saskatoon West.

A good leader attracts good candidates to run with, and Chad Eggerman fits that bill. This is important when we consider this opportunity to send representation of Saskatoon West riding to Ottawa.

Mark Carney is coming back to Saskatoon on Sunday morning. The numbers look very promising to flip seats if progressives line up behind a Liberal candidate. #yxe

From the Camponi All Candidates Forum held at Station 20. Chad Eggerman gets it done! #skpoli #yxe #Flatlanders

President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with TIME at the White House on April 22: "We're taking care of every aspect of their lives, and we don't need them to make cars for us. In fact, we don't want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars.

At last night's Camponi All Candidates Debate at Station 20, Chad Eggerman talks about his commitment to economic reconciliation by Indigenous equity ownership in clean energy projects. #skpoli #yxe #Flatlanders

#skpoli #yxe #Flatlanders

Who will get it done for progressive voters in Saskatoon-West? Vote for Chad Eggerman. #skpoli #yxe #Flatlanders

The numbers don't add up in Pierre Poilievre's economic plan...he's pulling them out of the air. At least the old Progressive Conservatives could count. #skpoli #yxe #Flatlanders

What is progressive? Getting the job done! Vote for Chad Eggerman in Saskatoon-West. #skpoli #yxe #Flatlanders vimeo.com/1074971307

April 22nd is Earth Day and let us remind everyone of the one Canadian political party that has turned its back on climate science and refuses to address the threat of global warming. Mark Carney and his government will build new industries and economies with a "green" mandate. #skpoli #Flatlanders

This is troubling. Canadian law bans hate speech and assures personal security for all citizens. Just where are Canadian Universities falling short? #skpoli #yxe #Flatlanders

The global fascist insurgency must be crushed in each and every election.

Our Muslim neighbours rightly fear the hateful xenophobia that is the mentality of Conservative populism. It is a liberal principle that dignity be accorded to everyone who walks on this earth, but what is principle without the power of people to use it?
