There are times when I feel like a voice in the wilderness - yammering for justice and honesty in my home province of Saskatchewan. Recently, I published a post pointing out that Stephen Harper's choice of Pamela Wallin as a Senator 'from Saskatchewan' was ridiculous, considering that she had not lived in the province for over 29 years. Right wingers came rushing to Harper's defense by pointing out that Ms. Wallin apparently owns some gopher breeding acres somewhere in the province and they Mike of Green Gables

On November 8th 2005 a 22-year-old honors and scholarship student in Geological Engineering, Kenton Joel Carnegie, from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, was killed in northern Saskatchewan by a pack of wolves.

This story happened the NYE of the millennium. Every year, in Regina, Saskatchewan, there is a big party, with something like 3000 people. There are several rooms, all with different kinds of music and atmospheres. I was there with my friends Amanda and Janice. I was drinking. We ended up in the main hall, where, around 11:45, the local radio guys got up and started doing their thing. At this point, Amanda was in the bleachers making out with some guy, and I was right in front of the stage witStudent’s PhD Work Will Save Beer from Spoiling

A Canadian college student majoring in chemistry built himself a home lab - and discovered that trying to do science in your own home quickly leads to accusations of drug-making and terrorism. Lewis Casey, an 18-year-old in Saskatchewan, had built a small chemistry lab in his family’s garage near the university where he studies. Then two weeks ago, police arrived at his home with a search warrant and based on a quick survey of his lab determined that it was a meth lab. They pulled Casey out of Commentary.

Winter Wonderland just isn't complete without the scream of a 200-plus horsepower snowmobile engine. What people did for fun in the dead of winter before they could tear up the countryside in Artic Cats, Yamahas, Polarises (Polarisi?), and Ski-Doos remains a mystery. We owe it all to Joseph-Armand Bombardier from Valcourt, Quebec. Historians claim Bombardier invented the first snowmobile in 1958 when he bolted a Ford Model T engine to a sleigh.

The Conservatives have again shown their true stripe to Canadians, when they work toward making First Nations people pay for the education guaranteed in Treaties that ensured a peaceful welcome to European (and other) immigrants to Canada.
