Scott Moe and the Sask. Party could have supported IVF treatments any time over the last 17 years.

But now, as they flail in an election, they toss out a last ditch effort to desperately appeal to women voters. Pathetic.

Hey Sk would you let your car mechanic perform surgery on you? Then why do we have a window installer running our education system? @jeremycockrill is not qualified to be in charge of education, our students deserve better.

@QuickDickMcDick If farming becomes unsustainable, so do humans - good grief where does he think our food comes from?

This is an important article that counters recent Government of Saskatchewan misinformation and ignorance of how our electrical grids operate:

- Saskatchewan did not come to the rescue and "send" 153 MW of electricity to Alberta when called upon. This was "a pretty ordinary thing. Business as usual" SaskPower has confirmed.
- It was not necessarily 153 MW of gas and coal-fired power generation sent to Alberta because at the same time, Saskatchewan imported 292 megawatts of renewable energy from Manitoba, 139 MW more than it exported to Alberta.

Determining the power mix is technically challenging, but it could be that it was actually renewable energy from Manitoba that helped Alberta in a typical, business as usual scenario - and not gas and coal power from Saskatchewan.

Ugh I hate that the cross multiplying I learned in school is actually a useful thing in real life.

Emergency Legislative session to trample the rights of kids.

Oh Saskatchewan. This is not the way.

[James Christian Parsons @Dred_Tory]

Fascinating how Canadians--who for decades willingly, ritualistically placed their kids into the hands of priests and hockey coaches without a care in the world about what might happen to them--are suddenly terrified at the prospect of Billy calling himself "Susie" during recess.

What an absolute, tremendous, positive start to the year @stlukercsd. Kudos to the students, families, and staff for making that happen. Together we'll do great things this year, you can feel it. @RCSD_No81

From a Canadian firefighter who knows what’s going on:
#canada #wildfire #smoke
(Worth the read)

“I know you may know, but people need to know and understand that most Canadian wildfire management agencies have fire “zonation” policies similar to Alaska.

This means in large areas of their jurisdictions, especially in the northern part of the country, wildfires are left to run there natural course w little or no direct action or suppression. We’ll protect values at risk, ie. infrastructure, communities, critical habitat or culturally significant features on the landscape, we’ll map them and maybe try to burn them to natural barrier, fight one flank and let the rest roll (limited action) but we are not putting them out.

On many of the fires we don’t even try. A number of these fires are huge boreal gobblers (I am currently assigned to a 250,000 ha fire, well over 600,000 acres and you could fit the org. chart on one side of a beer can).

The only thing that is going to put out this fire out and many across the country is winter, 5 months from now. It’s going to be a long, smoky summer for everyone. You have a wide reach, it would be great if you can help people understand these dynamics in the Canadian wildfire scene when they’re bitching about the smoke.

Cheers 🍻 and thanks.”

Pretty decent picture of what’s going on. Thanks for the insight.

In the industry we call this letting a fire “Do its thing”. It’s especially common in these vast boreal forests. Siberia does the same thing. Identify hazards and values at risk, mitigate, let it go.

Cheers.
