Jim Warren: Saskatchewan’s bold move to keep the coal-fired power plants operating past 2030
Dealing with challenges like Ottawa’s ten-year war on conventional energy and the Liberals’ economically ruinous, one-size-fits-all climate change policies does get tiresome. The effort becomes especially wearing when there is so little good news mixed in with the...

Brian Crossman: Making choices
The reason we use electric lights instead of candles is because they WORK BETTER. They were not mandated or forced upon the public by the government, nor was the sale candles banned. The statement that conservatives oppose technology is ludicrous. It would no different than saying a member of the liberal party was against computers or the internet.
Coal Revival: “What a reason to celebrate,” Moe says at IBEW barbecue for rejuvenating coal
There’s much reason to celebrate, for as long as the Saskatchewan Party government carries through with that plan, in defiance of federal coal regulations and the Clean Electricity Regulations, it means they get to keep those jobs. Most of those jobs pay over $100,000 per year. It means they won’t be forced to leave their homes, selling them for pennies on the dollar in towns that would soon look like ghost towns.

Michael Zwaagstra: Winnipeg Humane Society deserved to be kicked out
If this column by Michael Zwaagstra reminds you of anything from this past week, recall that one of the participants in the coal injunction case is also a farmer from southeast Manitoba.
