By Greg Fingas, on December 9, 2012, at 1:06 pm As Scott has already noted, Saskatchewan NDP’s Swift Current leadership debate included plenty of familar themes:
And indeed, one of the more interesting issues facing both the candidates and the debate organizers is how to account for the difference between an audience which may be seeing the candidates for the first time, and the relationship between the contestants themselves based on regular responses to the same questions. My preference would be to ensure that the candidates face a wider range of questions during the course of the campaign, meaning that the pattern of maybe 2 new questions at each

By Greg Fingas, on December 6, 2012, at 6:19 pm This and that for your Thursday reading.
- Pat Atkinson discusses the need to make sure that Saskatchewan’s boom-time spending actually sets us up for long-term prosperity, rather than fiscal disaster: Even though the OECD report, the burgeoning federal government deficit, China’s economic slowdown and America’s political deadlock all advise us that now is the time for caution, the Wall government is trapped. Its political image is completely dependent upon constant economic growth or the appearance of it.

The Utterly Unprecedented, Stunning Development Which Shook The Very Foundations Of Canada’s System Of Government As Administered By Stephen Harper
Helene Laverdiere asked a simple question to Peter MacKay. And MacKay actually answered it.
The Big Issue
Gerald Keddy started debate on C-23 with a fairly helpful summary of the goods currently traded between Canada and Jordan. But as the opposition parties noted, there’s much more to the picture than mere dollars: Brian Masse pointed out Jordan’s

By Volkov, on December 27, 2011, at 5:45 pm Yep, that’s right folks – Canada, one of the largest uranium producers (if not, really, the best) is shipping weapons-grade uranium, apparently enough to make more than a few Hiroshima-size bombs, to the United States, travelling throughout our fair land in collision-resistant, anti-theft, super-duper-controlled containers that you just know are going to fail and poison/kill/mutate us all.
I’m not shocked in the least by this revelation, nor do I really have a problem with it. I mean, we have both the capability to make it and we have the stockpile that, frankly, we are not going to use. Shipping

By Greg Fingas, on September 13, 2011, at 10:07 am One of the obvious questions facing Saskatchewan voters in the lead up to this fall’s election is that of how much credit (if any) Brad Wall and his government should be able to claim for economic gains based mostly on favourable resource prices.

By thereginamom, on March 14, 2011, at 4:21 am Well, Saskatchewan, if there is nuclear fallout from that earthquake in Japan it looks like we can accept some responsibility for it. My preliminary research indicates that some Saskatchewan uranium goes to Japan via partnerships among AREVA, Cameco, and Japan’s Overseas Uranium Resources Development as well as Japan-Canada Uranium (JCU Canada). Here’s hoping nothing melts [...] . . . → Read More: Japan and Saskatchewan
