Happy birthday to William Shatner, born on this day in 1931 in Montreal! Most famous as Capt. Kirk on Star Trek, he also had success on TJ Hooker & Boston Legal. He is a two-time Emmy winner and a Golden Globe winner. He is also the oldest person to fly in space.

We live in a gadget-filled, #sciencefiction universe, but our brains still belong to the Paleolithic; we are fire-makers and spear-carriers miraculously transported to the Digital Age, struggling to make sense of it all. #quotesaboutlife #technology #ThoughtForTheDay #humanity

@livv_idd Education in Saskatchewan is underfunded to the tune of $400 million per year. Because obscenely profitable, wealthy and greedy multinational oil companies are gifted that money by Scott Moe. In Saskatchewan, oil companies take priority over kids’ education.

@CliffBurns Yes. I was struck by the Minister's statement on where the government has 'moved.' A few of the comments were about promises outside of the contract (that means nothing in bargaining) and on wage. Is this what the bargaining team agreed? It speaks to what you're saying.
Good faith bargaining requires the parties to show up and attempt to negotiate a contract. The government's actions seem more about political theatre rather than serious discussions.
We set aside two full days to bargain in good faith with the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee (GTBC). Today, they didn't even bother to show up. Our kids deserve better than not showing up.
Challenging the misinformation machine of the oil lobby has made some politicians uncomfortable. The climate crisis is here. We need to address the political unwillingness to reign in emissions and stand up to greenwashing. #BillC372 is a helpful step. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
