Lots of discussion this week about the one week additional elk season in Saskatchewan. Interesting/Not Surprising is that hunting groups are saying they were not consulted. farmnewsnow.com/2025/10/02/s...

Senior undergraduates playing hungry hungry hippo. No injuries so far!

I’m out in rural Saskatchewan- anyone know where I’m at Under this round roof?

DYK that agriculture.canada.ca 🍁 contributes to the North American Drought Monitor? 🧪 The Prairies/High Plains bulletin for summer is available via the drought.gov Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlooks. TLDR? A summer of droughts, wildfires, smoke, and heavy rainfall. ☀️🌧️🔥 🔗 tinyurl.com/5xnvrmrs

In 1979 my parents bought me this bike and what a doozy it was- banana seat, chain guard, hand brakes. At one point even got a light that worked off the spinning front wheel. We all attached AM/FM portable radios to the handlebars. My coolness peaked 46 years ago.

After earning her Master's in 1951, she began working at the Saskatoon Cancer Clinic where she eventually became the chief medical physicist. It was in that role she developed the world's first cobalt-60 unit, which used targeted radiation to treat cancer in a patient. 🧵3/8

I'm not at all against Canada Post, but I get virtually zero utility from it anymore. I pay all of my bills online and get packages from amazon. If I got mail service once per month that would be lots and I certainly wouldn't mind going to a hub to pick it up. Obviously others have different needs.

Throwback Thursday - some will remember using very large differential GPS that took up much of a backpac!

Truly impressive number of birds migrating tonight. More than 800 MILLION birds up in the air right now❗ #BirdMigration

Let's cheer the Canadian women dominating world rugby. They had to crowd source to raise the money to even get into the tournament. Nobody took them seriously. They crushed the New Zealand giants. They are going into the finals. Come on fellow Canucks - is the real miracle team. So proud.

I don't really like to talk about about it much but 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' is based on my life story.

Super interesting news on the bovine tuberculosis front, especially since there have been cases in livestock even right here in Saskatchewan recently. www.manitobacooperator.ca/livestock/a-...

I don't mean to get too technical and use all of this science jargon, but not everyone knows that polar bear groups are measured in units of shit-tons. This is one shit-ton of bears. How many can you count?

It is so flat on the Hudson Bay coast that when the tide goes out, it really goes out, as in where did the Bay go?

Ernie Coombs was, and still is, a beloved symbol for generations of Canadians. As Mr. Dressup, he was a fixture of Canadian television for decades. Even 24 years after his death he is remembered fondly. This is his story. 🧵 1/16

“When fires burned…in the past, they were stamped out, fast…as…firefighters…came to the rescue.…wildfires have become too powerful, too erratic, too hot, too fast to contain. Cataclysmic fires, sudden evacuations & dangerously smoky days are our new reality”.

Not saying I’m getting old but I do own an upstairs tylenol bottle and a downstairs bottle.

The worst day out on the tundra is still better than any day in the office...unless you get eaten by a polar bear, in which case it is then a tie.

Sunset on Hudson Bay.

To be clear… No one deserves to die for being a dick. At the same time, no dick deserves to be lauded just because they’re dead. www.brittlestar.com/p/what-to-do...

Hi. I’m Rachel. My name is first on the website the North American far-right is using to target people they say “celebrated” Charlie Kirk’s death. There’s just one problem: I never did that. But the people sending me threats don’t seem to care. Let me tell you, in my own words, what happened:

Sunsets on the Hudson Bay coast are unreal. Some days it is red in the west as expected but also all the way around to the east as well. Pretty amazing.

One of my favourite spots on the planet is being crammed around the dining room table at Nester One Field Camp in Wapusk National Park. Coffee is always on and food is everywhere. The room is always toasty warm and students are working furiously. Most importantly -- no internet!

Amazing song and video dropped today. The song is based on a very famous polar bear that was best known as a major trouble maker in the Churchill, Manitoba area. Back in the day they were spray painted with large numbers, in this case #33. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...

Today is Giving Day at the University of Saskatchewan. I made my donation. give.usask.ca/giving-day.p...

Thankfully my helicopter has an ashtray built in. Wasn't sure what I was going to do for a second.

Pick up my new book, Bunnyhug Cynic. It’s a collection of comedic essays about Saskatchewan, pop culture, and the crushing absurdity of existence. Oh, and of course, the glory days of Bonanza Steakhouse. Grab a copy in Saskatoon at Turning the Tide Bookstore or McNally Robinson, or Amazon.

Ken Dryden has died. A Hockey Hall of Famer with the Montreal Canadiens, he won six Stanley Cups, the Conn Smythe, Calder and five Vezinas. A best-selling author, he also served in Parliament from 2004 to 2011.

Rather unusual to see arctic aven blooming in mid-August on the Hudson Bay coast! Dryas integrifolia

Need some help here .. Hudsonian Godwit? @janetngbio.bsky.social am I close?

There are extremely good reasons why strychnine was banned in the first place and there has been plenty of time to work on other options that are effective and safe. You would have to search hard to find a more painful way to die. Plus it kills anything. www.canadiancattlemen.ca/daily/conser...
