The Way I See It: Ravenous Media

Lately, I’ve seen and heard a lot about political sides pointing a finger at the media and blaming them for being to conservative or too liberal (or in some cases, a left wing organization bent on destroying democracy). It’s rather embarrassing, to say the least. I worked in the media industry over ten [...]

Socialism isn’t falling

Dexter to present budget in early fall.
N.S. voters elect 1st NDP government.
Michael tips hat to Dexter on NDP win in N.S.
Amazing how most recently, many people have sited the downfall of socialism in a way that was familiar to the downfall of communism.  But it isn’t, that’s the thing.  The recent historic election win by [...]

Research begins: CCPSA

Whoa!  Hold on, two blog entries in one day.  Don’t get crazy here.

The Way I See It: Need for action

CPSIA has been getting a lot of press.  Tons, as a matter of fact.  And that’s a good thing.  People who have an opinion about a very distasteful law need to speak out, and they need to be heard.  Fortunately, there are a lot of people that do this.  Thanks to authors like Neil Gaiman [...]

The Way I See It: History on pages

I sit this morning with my cup of coffee, headphones on as Gordon Doweny of the Tragically Hip sings the lyrics of Nautical Disaster in my headphones. Eating my morning cereal, I read the news sites, catch up on last night’s NHL scores (ya know, ’cause I’m Canadian and it’s like a need I [...]

The way I see it: Tweetin’ on Twitter

It’s 2:35 in the morning, I can’t sleep.  I went to bed at 11:30, I think I slept, and woke up at around 1:15.  I had a glass of milk and began to cruise a couple of sites and check out some videos just so I could maybe, maybe get back to sleep.

Provincial Crowns, good business or monopoly

The topic of Crown Corporations in Saskatchewan is a touchy one.  They have been hot button issues for both sides of the capitalist fence for a long time.  Should they remain government controlled or should they be sold off to some private entity?  There are also examples of the Crowns doing extremely well and extremely [...]

The Way I See It: Through the eyes of an American

In November of 2008, we saw history in the making as the first African-American was elected to the highest seat in the United States.  On Tuesday, January 20, 2009, that history took another step as Barrack Obama took the oath of office making it official.  As a Canadian, I watched, but had the feeling I [...]

Economic Surge!

The question could very well be, where’s the gloom and doom.
According to the Conference Board of Canada, the Saskatoon region is projected to lead the entire country economically for the third year in a row.  This is while the rest of North America goes through a recession and economic downturn.  Saskatoon, meanwhile, is expected to [...]
