Irish Times Columnist on a strange week for the monarchy: "The answer is that even constitutional monarchies developed limits on arbitrary power, chief among them an independent criminal justice system and some kind of parliamentary accountability. The United States, on the other hand, has allowed…

2. Not describing AMW as “my brother” and pointedly ending on “Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.” AMW is completely out in the cold. Not even considered part of the family any more. 🚮

Wow

The latest chapter in the long history of staffers taking the hit when things get tough: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Politics is such a funny business. People look invincible and events look inevitable, until they are not. You wake up one morning and people are writing about the stench of death surrounding your administration.

Hope is a fighter and a screamer.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

All I have is a voice…

Lord, have mercy.

Well said.

What Hope SOunds Like today:

Carney: "We stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland's future. Our commitment to NATO's Article 5 is unwavering ... Canada strongly opposes tariffs over Greenland"

Looking forward to reading if Moe's $300/year anti-EV tax has to go away. (Why would he do that?) #skpoli

Bloomberg reports that China is considering Canadian oil, rather than Iranian supplies, to replace Venezuelan imports.

Today has a real Tom Clancy novel feel to it. Not good.

Good Lord. The insanity

Five new in, three out. Fairly major shuffle:https://www.saskatchewan.ca/government/news-and-media/2025/december/11/new-cabinet-balances-experiences-with-new-faces

I'm not sure why the NDP don't say: if elected we wouldn't give another penny to private schools until our public education system is adequately funded. Not only is it good policy. It would be a popular decision.

SK Cabinet shuffle !

This requires a public inquiry!

The SaskParty continues to misdirect and show no transparency. Scary mismanagement of tax dollars. @carlabecksk.bsky.social @saskndp.bsky.social

Word of the day Tergiversations. From Andrew Rawnsley's Observer column, 15 November 2025: Might be hard to work into a conversation, but it seems to define much of contemporary discourse.

Once again, Sask. has attracted the attention of the NYTimes for all the wrong reasons (Ian Austen's Canada Day Letter). Why is it that Neal Young's Alabama has come to mind? Oh ya. When the majority threatens to sweep away the rights of a vulnerable minority, people are supposed to speak up.

The winds of change....

Finally, Prince Andrew is “being held accountable” if by accountable you mean losing titles and getting evicted while still keeping his wealth and freedom. It’s like grounding a billionaire: the public sees a punishment, but in reality, life goes on almost unchanged.

Breaking News: Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III, is being stripped of his title as prince, Buckingham Palace said. nyti.ms/4oQeykJ

Doing the right thing, after the damage was done. Late Thursday UK time, the "Firm" did what it should have done last week: The original statement lacked accountability, a sincere apology and allowed the main subject too much agency over its tone and content. And it led to further leaks which…

Okay so after 20 years in power, the SK gov’t prioritizes ... *checks notes* Forcing people into addictions treatment in centres we don’t have, and making it easier to get drunk at football games. Am I…am I the only one who sees the irony here? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Saskatchewan politicians levelled accusations of preening and reckless behaviour as they debated China's punishing tariffs on Canadian canola in the legislature Thursday. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/sas... #skpoli

If you're playing legislature bingo "lost and reckless" can be your card's free square

Beck says I thought I tossed in any easy pitch, but he can't say it. She says our farmers feed the world, and not a single shipment has gone to China. Will the premier explain why he has failed them so badly? #skpoli

Moe says he's thanking health workers and the province has opened urgent care centres. NDP member heckles, those aren't staffed. #skpoli

Beck says the premier has said two different things on two different call in shows. Beck says the gov't is also failing on health care. Why won't anyone listen to front line workers desperately, she asks. #skpoli
