Right wing politicians voice concerns about right wing violence against right wing influencers. Got it. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

@pdcityhall.bsky.social Does a city in Saskatchewan have jurisdiction over the environment? Yes. It's bolted into the Cities Act, which city councillors are sworn to uphold. I always hated the deflection.

Very sad. Calvert was the last sensible Premier of Saskatchewan. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Conservatives leadership: bailout canola farmers, but don’t allow Chinese EVs, despite the concession Moe is asking for. Anything to ensure we run on fossil fuels well into the 22nd century. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

#QCM seemed to be back to full strength this year. Events were packed, tons of volunteers, and hundreds of folks cheering on the runners

I'm pleased that the Temporary Foreign Worker Program is back in the media. There are systemic problems, but scrapping it won't resolve underlying issues. For starters, here's a list of #YQR offenders. Should they be trusted with any employee? www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...

Night Owl #QCM 5K with the boys. It’s going to be an amazing race weekend.

The U.S. military did such a splendid job bringing peace and tranquility to the cities of Iraq and Afghanistan, why not deploy troops to American cities? Maybe they'll finally discover the WMDs they were looking for. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

"Stop using foreign workers", says the politician who stands by the exploitation of migrant agricultural workers employed through the SAWP. Where's the culpability of businesses who continue to bypass local workers and use the TFWP & IMP? globalnews.ca/news/1139042...

Dang. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump is doing splendid work bringing comrades together.

This is heartbreaking, but why do conservative politicians think that emulating US self-defence rights - the most violent industrialized nation in the world - will prevent or solve anything? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Union busting, cuts to public services, and the lack of transparency in North Battleford, SK. Please consider signing this petition in support of the newly-formed ATU local. @saskfedlabour.bsky.social @ndp.ca @atucomms.bsky.social #skpoli www.change.org/p/reinstate-...

"United by the basic notion of humanity, thousands of Arabs and Jews joined one another on Saturday to protest against the starvation, slaughter and carnage." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The "affordability" narrative misses the mark. We need to talk about the financialization of housing and the role of public social housing corporations in reducing housing costs. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Is Saskatchewan experiencing a collective COVID brain fog? FCL, AGT, and Viterra all passed on constructing the infrastructure required for enhanced domestic canola processing. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

SK is talking about giving police the power to force people into drug treatment, even when they have committed no crimes. But "due process" is required when their own members are hosting bikers at house parties and choking fellow officers. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Serpico level corruption in the Saskatoon Police Service. Just a bunch of rotten apples? Doubt it. If these cops are willing to beat up their own at a party, think of what they'll do to you. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Everything in history happens twice…

Lots of dancing around how to label these actions. ‘State socialism’. ‘Corporate socialism’. No. It’s National Socialism. Just call it what it is. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

While anti-immigration sentiments have been fuelled by the right in Canada, little is being said about the systemic forms of exploitation and abuse foreign workers experience at the hands of employers. What if we suspended business licenses for offenders? search.open.canada.ca/qpnotes/reco...

An article I wrote with Doug Nesbitt about Air Canada and the need for civil disobedience. CUPE's recent defiance of a federal back-to-work order tells me our conclusions still resonate today... www.rankandfile.ca/wp-content/u...

Workers should be paid for the work they do. CUPE's stance with Air Canada should be a lesson for other union leaders. Please consider signing this SFL petition on basic labour rights and wage theft. @cupescfp.bsky.social action.speakupsask.ca/stopgreed

The fair weather liberals are starting admit that genocide is afoot, and the atrocities committed by Israel can no longer be ignored. Things must be getting bad.

A strong majority of Canadians support a Palestinian state.

I'm really pleased that my union is issuing statements about the threat of US fascism and its implications for academic and political freedoms on both sides of the border. More Canadian unions need to get into the fight @saskfedlabour.bsky.social Now for "hot cargo" www.urfa.ca/news/aaup-le...

The federal government has an important role to play in advancing a meaningful affordable housing agenda. But why are provincial governments and housing agencies let off the hook? Today, the Sask Housing Corporation could be solving the problem here at home. Why does it dodge responsibility?

Long ballots and threats of violence. Alberta is ready to be the 51st state. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Despite the possible consequences, Canadians support recognizing a Palestinian state. This aligns with world opinion. Israel has a powerful and immoral minority on its side.

Involuntary institutionalization of vulnerable populations is a mark of fascist leaders at home and abroad. How about we start by increasing the stock of social housing and voluntary treatment options? www.themarshallproject.org/2025/07/28/t...

In Regina, many residents still prefer Saskatchewan's Death Race 2025 model of traffic management. I'm pleased that @cityofregina.bsky.social is taking matters seriously, sticking with its Vision Zero initiative. yle.fi/a/74-20174831

China has over 20,000 kms of high speed rail. That network is expanding at breakneck speed. In YQR we've spent over a decade thinking (and rethinking) about building a pool. Degenerate worker state for the win. @pdcityhall.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/travel/2020/...

Fossil fuel companies are loaded. Stop subsidizing them, especially at a time of climate catastrophes.

I tuned in just in time for pickle ball... www.myaccess.ca/watch/live/r...

The antisemites at B'tselem also believe Israel is committing war crimes in its starvation of Palestinians. They might be on to something. www.btselem.org/publications...

The federal government insists that it doesn't export weapons to Israel. This report says otherwise. In fact, Israel Tax Authority data shows the weapons coming in. @mark-carney.bsky.social Stop the genocide. Boycott. Divest. Sanctions. Recognize the Palestinian State. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"Market demand" is the problem. Stop relying on consumer preferences as a transition tool. Impose the requirement. American auto-manufacturers don't like it? Bring in BYD. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

It’s wild to think that about a third of Albertan’s and Saskatchewan residents want to join this mess. www.cbc.ca/news/world/g...

Netanyahu and his supporters are liars and war criminals. Arrest them. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Neither Republicans nor Democrats are well-liked in the US. Trump isn't that popular, but more popular than the Democrats. Both serve the interests of economic elites. Socialist mayoral nominees, however, are on the rise. What does this all tell us? www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

The faces of distraught parents dropping their kids off at camp for the week.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Will Canada be next? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Stay classy. 'Witnesses provided testimony describing signs with “anti-LGBTQ and anti-trans messaging” and multiple incidents of sexual harassment targeting women on the streets.' pressprogress.ca/it-was-viole...

Poilievre to the courts: stop using laws against my base. Oh, and change election laws to prevent me losing my seat when 100 people put their name forward on the ballot. globalnews.ca/news/1129986...

A former city manager once told me that with the money we spent on Mosaic we could have transformed Regina's entire recreation landscape for the better. That included a new pool estimated at $80 million at the time. @pdcityhall.bsky.social Don't wait. Just build. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Rejoice! Conservative premiers help to advance Trudeau I's NEP objective of connecting eastern Canadian industry with western Canadian oil. A bit late, I'm afraid. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

There's a case to be made for bail reform. But what are premiers doing to reduce recidivism rates in the correctional systems they control? Local police raise this all the time. www.ctvnews.ca/regina/video...

Will any of these "leaders" put on their big boy pants and do anything about it? Likely not. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I wish the media would cover Israeli activities and pressure tactics in Canada the same way. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Moe will shit on environmentalists. He’ll ‘elbow’ Ottawa and Prime Ministers. He’ll threaten economic warfare on his own cities. But he wants us to be soft on Trump. MAGA-SK it is. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
