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

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.

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.

And I say this as a Saskatchewanian, living under a corrupt provincial government. It’s imperative we get Big Oil out of the pockets of our provincial politicians/governments for our own well-being and for that of future generations.

With a country so rich in natural resources, it’s time for Canada to establish a sovereign wealth fund. Had the CDN gov done so decades ago, the fund would be robust, limiting the influence of lobbyists and robber barons, and green initiatives (including job creation) would be much further advanced.

Right? And isn’t it Poilievre’s supporters who share the political philosophy of fiscal conservatism? Who also yammer on about the “wasteful spending” by the Liberal government? A $1 million dollar taxpayer paid by-election doesn’t seem fiscally responsible to me. The hypocrisy is baffling.

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.
