For 18 years, the Sask Party has said they won't close any hospitals.
Is there any difference between closing them and their incompetence in being able to staff them so they are open?
Somebody in the media should ask

Another week, another rural healthcare closure that the Sask Party has told no one about.
This time it’s Herbert, who has been without an ER for 7 weeks.
Why are MLA David Marit and Minister Carr keeping people in the dark when the difference can be life and death.

This is a HUGE opportunity for the NDP to regain lost ground. They need to take notes from the success of Zohran Mamdani and lean into what people need or they’re going to blow it.
The Liberals held onto power solely because many on the left lent them their votes, and Carney paid them back by shitting all over everything they care about. Those votes are lost to the Liberals perhaps for a generation or more

Sooo disappointed in Bob Rae and Canada.
Dear Bob Rae,
You don't get paid to sit and listen. You get paid to stand up for Canadian values.
During the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine you used the word genocide numerous times.
The UN has found Israel guilty of genocide.
You're our ambassador.
Why the silence?

1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

Hey folks in the smoke:
Those corsi-rosenthal boxes with the furnace filters and box fans?

You can get PM 2.5 filters for your furnace/AC too (MERV 13 filters - recommended for covid protection will work well for smoke too)

Minnesota is under an Air Quality Alert through SATURDAY.
This is one of the longer stretches of smoke we will see this summer. Why? Lighter north to northeast winds for several days.
You might want to limit time outside each passing day.
