I would smile if I heard Singh respond with your first sentence.

"Did you know that salt and malt vinegar is not a traditional way to dress your French fries in the United States?"

"What the f#$% is wrong with them?"

I'd argue the opposite for one reason only - so that I can identify idiots, bigots and terrible people on sight. Any person in government that is causing me problems and showing religious garb? Kick it up to a supervisor if I think I can tie it to poor decision making based on goat-herder values from over 2000 years ago.

offensive. Next year another huge initiative to change something else. This type of thing is literally endless as everything is changing all the time. Sounds like a waste of tax $ to me.

Changing a name isn't stupid, unless done for stupid reasons. If you have the money - get it done. It also doesn't have to be done all at once. Start small with new document templates, create a reasonable budget for replacing signs...

Speaking as someone that resides in what was once the Province of Canada (Upper Canada or Canada West) and renamed themselves something else native - we named ourselves after the Huron word for 'Great Lake' and that ignores the fact that we're only talking one of the 4 great lakes that border us on one side of the province... There's way more to the province than the Hurons and way more than just that one lake. Seriously, get a huge list of place names that are underutilized by all the different nations out there, find something that is easier to spell than Saskatchewan, and send it around for approval.

The ONLY downside is that you're throwing out a lot of 'brand recognition.' I made the argument that the Law Society of Ontario should not have renamed themselves from the Law Society of Upper Canada because they have been called the LSUC for over 200 years. It's like if The Bay decided to go close all their stores under that banner and exclusively work under the name Saks Fifth Avenue - I don't think it would work out well for them, and it might not work well for BC.

Conflict of interest? Say it ain't so...

There's listings for some pretty intensely expensive properties at 550 Park Avenue. I saw one for over $10M with its own gym. I don't know - maybe we're getting a deal out of this. Tough to say with Sask Today putting together such a terrible article.

I mean, wouldn't the safest place to continue doing concerts would be Australia, where they actually have pretty stringent gun laws?

Biden: End the tipped minimum wage.

Tipping also disappears.

Servers: Not like this!

This is democracy in action. Voting happened, MPs were elected, and a government was formed. Did the Premier need to put 'secrets' in the Mandate letters? No. Did he? Yes. Because you and I don't have the right to see those secrets, we don't get to see those letters. If this, and a lot of other good reasons not to vote CPC, end up changing the votes so another party forms the government, maybe the government then won't have secret mandate letters.

No. We're smart enough not to send letter carriers and their tiny vans out in weather that can be lethally bad.

Squinty would literally bottom for Trump if given the chance.
