@bruceanderson That looks like. any gravel road in Sk or grid roads as we say in the province hard to pronounce, but easy to draw.

"Diplomacy is necessary, grinning is optional and looking like a supplicant is undignified," said former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig about some of Prime Minister Mark Carney's actions and statements while in China. "That's not a good look."

@RosieBarton I saw it: if crisis today that will define the new CBC president. Make Rosie’s program live today on regular GEM.
Otherwise The National will be 24 hours behind the rest of legacy US And Canada media.
CTV’s interview with former Canadian ambassador in Caracas was so insightful.

@MMandryk @leaderpost You and Phil Tank should do a political podcast or continue your political commentary on CBC if that doesn’t violate some Gag order from the corporate hedge fund jerks who want political commentary extinguished in SK.

@MMandryk @leaderpost Sad if this is your last column. Postmedia twerps.

@mearaconwayNDP Almost time to deliver. Better stay close to Regina.

@CKOMNews Shoring up who exactly?

[Murray Lyons @MurrayLyons1]

@acoyne Andrew: has anyone asked Carney about the Chinese tariffs on canola seed and meal (100%) and seafood (25%)? Seems it is all about cars, steal and aluminum and the bad orange man while China has other Canadian regions hostage.

@DavidWCochrane I love your salty Newfoundland retorts.

@AOgieglo I don’t think she will be the next finance minister from Humboldt.

@tammyrobert @SaskParty And she taught impressionable young minds? is the MLA behind her laughing with her or at her?

[Murray Lyons @MurrayLyons1]

@mearaconwayNDP Speaker should have called her out immediately.

@thinktankSK Great column Phil. Saskatoon council should ask a political scientist to study this and suggest a much lower per voter spending number. Half the current amount? The present system invites special interest donations.

[Murray Lyons @MurrayLyons1]

@thinktankSK She taught school? Good grief.

@tammyrobert @ctochor @ctochor made Brad Trost disappear into the ether in 2018 but hard to figure what he has done lately. It was Kevin Waugh who gave us legal sports betting.

@CKOMNews where is bear spray sold in Saskatoon to minors?
