Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.

Senior officials in Saskatchewan's ministry of agriculture used the province's political clout against federal and international environmental rules on behalf of the pesticide industry, Canada's National Observer has found. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/06/n...

Maybe someone in Alberta can gimme a timeline on when you all might be willing to accept that everything - EVERYTHING - Danielle Smith is doing right now is about the AHS scandal. ALL. OF. IT. Yes, THAT is how bad this scandal is. Accept it & pass it on. #ableg

Smith has touched off a firestorm! Today Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation called for all resource exploration to cease, citing First Nations responsibility to the crown under treaty and questioning who Smith was exploring for. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Ladies and gentlethings... We got 'em 🥲

I think Saskatchewan needs to follow the Vatican's approach to announcing new leadership. It would be more honest. When the Co-op Refinery flare stake ignites, you know the oil industry has chosen a new Premier.

“Today we stand united. We’re not going anywhere. And if you feel that you have problems with First Nations, YOU could leave.”

*Raps in Eminem* Guess who’s back, back again? Scheer’s back, to con you, friend

Why do we undervalue the lives of disabled people so much? Why do we expect them to survive on a disability benefit that keeps them below poverty line - especially when being chronically ill drives expenses up? A former “friend” explained it ti me & showed me how entrenched ableism is 🧵

As oil is tanking I want to remind #abpoli & #saskpoli that when normal Canadians advocate for a green transition, we never ever mean at the expense of Albertans or Saskatchewanians. We mean let’s build a green future with you leading it, and profiting from it instead of oil billionaires.

Anonymous donation to the Sask Party last year. $25k from a numbered Alberta Corporation. No problem? Not under our outdated wild west political donation laws.

Pierre Poilievre in a nutshell. If ever there was a case to drain the swamp...

A pelican fishing at the Saskatoon weir.

We always knew Conservatives heads on the prairies would start exploding if the Liberals won another mandate. There's no excuse to do a convoy, so now it's separatism.

It would cost millions to rebuild/refurbish 24 Sussex Drive, but I bet the carpeting wouldn’t cost $280,000.

Something something liberals are divisive. Sure Kevin.

13 active wildfires in Saskatchewan. 90 fires to date this fire season. Early fire season start, windy day coming.

Heading into the Saskatchewan Landing

Media-shy Poilievre is running to lead a small rural town, and as someone from a small rural town I can tell you that he is NOT ready for the level of gossip that spreads there. You can avoid reporters, but you can't avoid Loose Lips Linda at the local roller rink, Pierre

I suspect there’s a not insignificant number of Alberta separatists who think they’re actually going to Bugs Bunny the province from the rest of Canada.

Being able to identify hoaxes, avoid scams & debunk propaganda is a civic skill required in today's information society. That's why curriculum of students in Finland includes media literacy lessons, aimed at safeguarding a precious resource: the truth.

modems screaming at us in the 90s was a warning and we didn't take it

Pierre Poilievre’s by-election campaign slogan: Cowboy Boots, Not Suits

It begins.

The guy on the bottom has health coverage

I was in the room and glad to see my colleagues asking tough questions about the new Urgent Care Clinics being planned around the province. The health minister did not adequately answer the questions asked of him. globalnews.ca/news/1116217...

Just imagine the situation is reversed and instead of Poilievre, it’s an unelected Carney running in the forthcoming by-election; the sheer amount of outrage it would elicit would be felt by the penguins of Heard Island. And it’s all but certain there would be a second Freedom Convoy.

Regular Ruffles chips (with spinach dip) and Brisk iced tea. One bag of chips, one drink. What are you choosing?

I'm like a house plant. Just like a house plant, if the house temperature isn't just perfect, I will die.

Alberta First Nations issue cease and desist order against Danielle Smith's attempt to create a national unity crisis. Alberta is on treaty lands. Those treaties were signed 30 years before Alberta became a province.

👏

Just finished marking my ballot with a pencil in Saskatoon-University. Thanks to the polling stn staff and vols, it was easy peasy lemon squeezy and I was in and out in 5 min. A bit disappointed I didn’t get an “I voted” sticker, but if a non-PP gov is elected, it’ll make up for it a hundredfold.

Happy election day to those who celebrate! Make good choices, Canadians, or you shall incur the silent judgement and/or suffer the wrath of my perpetually pissed off bunny.

Monday, April 28th is Election Day in Canada 🇨🇦 Please people VOTE, and let’s not f**k it up! #FederalElection #Canada

Late campaign leader visits to Saskatoon suggest its 3 ridings are in play: “‘If you’re the leader of the Conservative Party…& you…campaign in Saskatchewan in the final days…that’s not a good sign’”. Carney will again stop in #yxe Sunday, the last day before the election.

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

Provincially it used to be NDP. Until Grant Devine fucked it up and NDP had to try to fix it. www.ckom.com/2025/04/23/f...

I’m not going to get my hopes up because *gestures at 2024 Saskatchewan provincial election polling projections*, but it would certainly be delicious if this were to transpire. … *Tents fingers à la Mr Burns*

I would like for stupid people to stop making important decisions that affect my life

Wow. What a bombshell. Watch this new video of Peterson with Rogan aligning himself and Poilievre with Trump and their side, and how powerful of an enemy Carney is to them. This should be used as a Liberal ad ASAP. If you ever had any doubt what side Poilievre is on, let it be crystal clear now.

Finally got my hands on a copy of Pierre's policy book. Not sure why everyone's talking about it. It's just a new cover on Harper's playbook.
