For those who enjoyed The Schultz Growing Season video, but longed for greener farming methods.

If you missed the last couple of nights of Byline with Brian Lilley. (umm, you’re not watching?) then you missed his shows on Sask.
This is home to me. I came back in ’95 and have never regretted it, my sister and her family came home a few years ago, my mother is ecstatic. Some of what Brian talks about in his two shows is why.
This isn’t just home, it’s opportunity.
Tuesday nights Byline:

And yes, Chief Bear is that good.

Only in Sask, would you get the Premier tweeting this.

Well done @sskroughriders This one is for @dariandurant Thunderstruck by Steve'n'Seagulls #banjobowl version http://t.co/KN1oPpjtYl

I have to ask, at what cost though? Get well, Darian.

I think I’m going to have to go with Coach Chamblin on this. The field design makes the difference. Appreciate the support though, Darian.

Riders QB Darian Durant, for instance, insists the title still belongs to the fans at Mosaic Field. “Of course,” Durant told reporters on Saturday. “I have to go with my home team and who I play for.

GO RIDERS!

Do you have any suggestions as to where a 52-year-old disgusted former liberal can go in Sask. to benefit from your 3.4% unemployment rate (well over 7% and climbing here in On-scare-io) to find work WITHOUT having to fork over nearly $2K of my annual income for a proposed pension plan that I won’t see a penny of (because I’m too old)?
What are the property values at? There seems to be a wide range across the board. Can I afford to buy my own home out there? My townhome in Ottawa is assessed at $240K, and I have 100% equity. I don’t owe a damn penny on the place. I need to sell my property before the Wynne socialists “lie-berals” take it away from me, like they’ve done to those poor rural bastards with their blasted giant fans (If they haven’t made them sick first).
BTW… Love your site, and your SDA blog. The blog gives me some reassurance that I’m not the only one remaining in Canada that can still think with his brain.

Your advice and suggestions are welcome in the comments.

CBC;

…two children were kicked out of the [Regina Optimist Dolphin Swim Club] after their mother sent a fax to the organization’s auditor, asking questions about the finances.
[A group of parents] say they’re worried the same thing will happen to their families if they speak out.
Andrea Mac Murray faxed the letter anonymously from a Regina shopping mall.
According to a letter obtained by CBC, club officials discovered she was the one who had sent it. Mac Murray says somebody accessed the surveillance video from the shopping mall.

Someone out there must have a login.

Update 2 – Dolphins swim club struck from corporate registry – Regina club fails to file financial statement with province

Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Western Producer, March 1996 – Farmers arrested last week were trucking grain from McMechan’s Canadian farm to his American farm. Some had carried their own grain to U.S. elevators.
Reuters, March 2014 – Truckloads of Canadian canola and wheat are flowing briskly into U.S. crushing plants and elevators, as Canada’s farmers seek to get round an unprecedented backlog of crops destined for ports. A record-smashing Canadian harvest and brutal winter have overwhelmed Canadian National Railway Co and Canadian Pacific Limited, the key links in moving western crops to ports on the Pacific Ocean, the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway.
