Finally, Saskatchewan is not the only sane province.
When will the rest of you give up on fiddling with the clocks for no reason?
When we turn the clocks ahead on March 8, it will be the last time change ever for BC. We're changing to a permanent daylight saving time, simply called Pacific Time (PT).

Thank you for highlighting this particular piece of civic pride. Regina-style is the greatest and no other city comes close (though you can still get it in Saskatoon, Swift, etc.)
Check out Trifon's or Sparky's next time!
I visited Regina recently to give a keynote speech for the CBA. I had no idea the city had their own style of pizza and it was like no other pizza I've ever had. Really awesome, especially if you're a meat lover!

I'm getting a new job title, BTW - this position is about half of the duties from my current position. Splitting it up to make more time for other projects!
So, if you apply and are hired... you'll still have to deal with me.
We're looking to grow our team!
Are you skilled in writing and speaking on public policy? Do you care deeply about the issues we cover, especially health care reform? Can you make connections with subscribers, media, and donors?
You might be right for the new Communications & Marketing Director position! Check it out:

Another work from the big, beautiful brain of @BacchusBarua!
Public-private partnerships in health care can work, but do them right!
And how so?
Look at Europe! They make it work by also using activity-based funding: a fair, non-politicized way to fund hospitals.
Check out the new report from our @BacchusBarua!

I'm lactose intolerant of this dairy cartel.
Why do these millionaires dump billions of liters of milk, hurting everyday Canadians?
That's just how the dairy cartel works in Canada. And nobody in power seems to want to change it.
Thanks to @FoodProfessor and his colleagues for digging up this important data.
We're just about to get started at the Prescriptions for Health Reform forum! A great turnout - we'll have pictures and highlights as the day goes on!

Really cool project coming up - in the middle of shooting here in Ireland.
@SecondStreetOrg doesn't hold off on travelling around the world to get the stories on how Canada can make health care better!
A lot went into this film - you don't want to miss it!

Yes, I am trying to lose a few pounds and no, making this video did not help.
Gorge yourself on fast food, get drunk, hammer back a bunch of cigarettes...
All of this is perfectly allowed in Canada. But you know what's not allowed?
Paying for surgery to improve your health. How much sense does this make?

Could you survive off of $10 a day?
Great work from my friend @PaulaIturri, hearing what socialism is like from someone who's actually lived through it.
Why is Venezuela such a disaster?
It has lots of natural resources, warm weather, and beautiful beaches that could draw tons of tourists.
But instead, millions of Venezuelans are fleeing and those who remain are starving.
We spoke with a Venezuelan to find out why.

Free to do interviews on this today if you work for a news outlet. DM me and we can set it up.
Today, we updated CanadaWaits.ca with the latest numbers on Canadians waiting for surgery, a diagnostic scan, or to see a specialist.
Some highlights:
-The numbers are up nearly 5% since we started tracking this data in November 2022 - a raw increase of over 140,000.
-Some parts of the country saw progress: SK, QC and MB saw a decrease in surgical and diagnostic waitlists
-However, the overall increase is yet another indicator that Canadian health care is in dire need of reform.

It was a pleasure to travel to Windsor and Detroit to meet these two nurses -
The Canadian system can learn a lot from what they have to say.
These #Ontario nurses cross an international border to get to work.
What is it about the U.S. system that attracts them? And what can Canada do to convince more health workers to stay home?

How unfair is this?
We need oil - this is a simple fact. So where would you rather get it from? Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C.? Or Saudi Arabia?
#oilandgas #canadianenergy
The Canadian government loves putting up roadblocks for oil companies.
Well, not ALL oil companies as it turns out... just ones within our own borders.
Why is foreign oil getting a free pass?
