This is a good read. Short answer, thankfully is 'NO', but a lot of interesting information.

"The conventional oil and gas business has its own share of operators who default on surface lease obligations ... And in some cases, as here, the same people may be involved."

The main difference this time would be that most of the food banks have been defunded
Elon will be fine

Trump will be fine

Congress will be fine

Government workers were in food bank lines last time.

No paycheck? 2/3 of Americans would be in jeopardy of losing housing immediately

More money is coming for clients on social assistance programs but for people already struggling many advocates wonder if it will be enough.

Saskatchewan’s SaskParty government brags about #skpoli’s population increase of 10.7% from 2015 to 2024. What they don’t brag about is that during this same period the homeless population in Regina increased by 255%. #skpoli

I find it extremely telling that not a single January 6th participant was charged with terrorism when they were acting with the sole intent to terrorize members of government to change the results of an election.

An important new study, out today, uses the latest physical & social science -- also meta-review machine-learning something something -- to reassess the social cost of carbon.

TL;DR: it's $280/ton, way higher than EPA's $190.

On super cold nights like tonight, it breaks my heart that so many are suffering in the cold and it fills me with rage to remember the meetings where we told Social Services the new SIS was going to kill people and cause mass homelessness. The Sask Party knew this was coming; they just didn't care.

Trillions of dollars going towards imperialism and colonialism.

While there is no universal health care and what little safety net exists is being dismantled.

These are the values of the USA. Even before oligarchs took over.

Canada Post was *never* going to negotiate in good faith. Their plan was simply to wait it out and have CUPW forced back to work. Remember: CUPW wanted rotating strikes so we were all less impacted during the holiday season. CP locked them out. It won't be better in May. Support your local posties.

The homelessness count in YQR is about the same. So well over 3000 people in the province.
Re-upping this. The homeless count just announced there are 1499 living unhoused in Saskatoon. The province desperately needs to step up.
-25C last night - want to help homeless in Saskatoon? The population has exploded, from 260 last year to over 1000 now. I called agencies for a group I help to see what donations are needed. Will add more as they respond. Please share around #yxe.

Protectionism and putting tariffs on stuff caused a world wide inflation and a large scale depression in the 1930's, why would it work now? It also caused people to blame others and right wing populism then. Doing the same thing now is ludicrous and insanity. The problem is those politicians.

Saskatoon’s homeless crisis is about unaffordable housing, not emergency shelters: “If you wanted to house just the homeless identified by this year’s count in 30-bed shelters…you would need 50 facilities.” 1/
