The amount of land required for solar is not as much as many think, and there is plenty of suboptimal land available such as roadsides, former mining areas, etc. This recent report maps it out:

My reaction after seeing the Sask Party's pronoun policy get put on ice by a Saskatchewan judge who understands the purpose and importance of protecting the Charter and human rights of gender diverse children.

My heart sunk when I learned that my small, conservative town had closed all our school libraries. 😔 It's disheartening. Never imagined I'd yearn for just missing 'banned books,' but I'd trade them any day to have libraries back. 📚💔
