Fri., March 13: If SGI has the power to levy heavy fines and municipalities have authority to get money back, we should be doing so and quickly. Let’s send a message such mistakes are not okay.

Thurs., March 12: NDP MP Lori Idlout crossing to the Liberals isn’t for the betterment of her constituents, it is self-serving, which floor crossing usually is. The only choice should be for them to let voters decide.

Wed., March 11: While it is expected the Liberals will take the two Toronto and one Montreal riding next month, it doesn’t change the fact the west feels alienated, separation talk continues and we aren’t yet a United Canada. All issues the Prime Minister will face with or without a majority.

Tues., March 10: The Saskatchewan government announced a Patient First Health Care plan that increase virtual care, adds beds and more nurse practitioner numbers. But to have success it will take money and time to build capacity when patients and workers want change now.

Mon., March 9: A soon-to-be learner drive in Sarah Mills’s house is pause for thought about the bad habits drivers have and what they are being taught.
