Perks of attending a small rural school
One of the best things about your children attending a small school like Rossville, is knowing that when they enter those doors there are people there that truly care
for them. They are safe. I hope parents feel this way about all schools, but I know it’s especially apparent in a small community school. They are not just a name, they are not just a number. They have a story, and the staff have the time to get to know that story. The staff have the time to get to know the families. They have the time to discover what a student needs to be successful.
Communication is important in any classroom between the parent and
teacher. It’s easy to build relationships with your parents when you have a small class size. When you build these relationships it allows for open, honest dialogue. It’s beneficial for everybody when the parents can send a quick message if a child has a had a rough morning, or if something is going on at home that the school needs to be aware of. The more communication between parents and teachers, the more chance there is for a student to be successful.
Academically, there is no better school than a small school! Any services offered within Sunwest are available at all schools. The amount of one on one-time students receive is unparalleled compared to a large school. Also, the one to one technology we enjoy here at Rossville is extremely valuable to our students. Small community schools have many advantages, we are so grateful for our community school out here in Coleville!
Students at Rossville School in Coleville show off their team effort.

Kerrobert Courthouse Stair Project
By VERONICA SMITH Town of Kerrobert & KCRS Secretary/Treasurer
With the success of grants, Kerrobert Courthouse Restoration Society (KCRS), and the community’s incredible support, we are able to start in the spring with Phase 1 of the front stair project. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project and fundraising efforts.
$ 22,000.00: KCRS
$ 7,500.00: Enbridge Fuelling Futures Grant
$ 30,000.00: Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation Grant
$ 6,100.00: Donations to the Stair Project
$ 25,000.00: Courthouse Maintenance Budget
$ 90,600.00: Total
The selective demolition and restoration of the stair sidewalls with new foundations under them will be just shy of $40,000.00, and a company has been chosen for that work. The Town will be re-tendering the main staircase building in the near future in hopes of getting a better outcome than those that were received in 2021.
The original stair project’s intent was to remove the damaged engineered wood covering from the concrete stairs and repair them to their original historical appearance. Unfortunately, erosion damage of the concrete front entrance staircase and
sidewalls presented safety concerns to the public, making this project a priority. The project went from a repair to a total rebuild of the stairs and restoration of the sidewalls and their foundations.
The Town obtained a structural report from an architect/engineer to guide them through the proper remediation of the courthouse stairs. These plans were approved by the Sask. Heritage Foundation.
The Kerrobert Courthouse Restoration Society was formed in August of 2019 and is comprised of volunteers who are members of the permanent entities that are housed within the walls
of the Kerrobert Courthouse building, as well as individuals concerned with the well-being of the Courthouse building. This group hosts fundraisers on behalf of the Town as a committee of council for the restoration of the Courthouse.
If you would like to donate to this project, you can send an etransfer to kcrs@sasktel.net, or by cheque made payable to Town of Kerrobert, Box 558, Kerrobert, SK S0L 1R0. Please make sure to include your name and address and memo mentioning the Stair Project. Tax receipts will be issued for donations over $20.00.

OPINION
CHECK IT OUT with Joan Janzen
A short history lesson
Here’s a bit of history humour for you: “Question: Where was the Constitution Act of 1982 signed? Answer: At the bottom.”
Premier Brian Peckford, a former Premier of Newfoundland, is the only surviving drafter and signatory of the 1982 Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The media is remaining relatively silent about Peckford’s recent actions. He is fil-
ing a lawsuit in the Federal Court against the Minister of Transport, to strike down mandatory requirements for air travellers
The former premier shared a short history lesson, noting that for a period of seventeen months, beginning In 1981, ten premiers and one Prime Minister - Pierre Trudeau, began negotiations to put in a bill of rights in the constitution. Midway in the process the Prime
Minister stopped negotiating and decided to go to House of Commons and pass his own law and unilaterally make his own Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Peckford, along with the premiers of Nova Scotia, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, B.C., Alberta and PEI promptly told him he wasn’t allowed to do it, and they went to court against the Prime Minister. Eight premiers were opposed; however the
premiers from Ontario and New Brunswick sided with the Prime Minister.
In Sept. of 1981 the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in their favour and told the Prime Minister his actions were unconstitutional. “It was a rocky road to get where we wanted to get,” Peckford said. “The Prime Minister was forced back to the table.”
In Nov. 1981 they negotiated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and nine provinces and the Prime Minister signed it in 1982. “It was a national document; it wasn’t a federal document. It represents the nation,” Peckford concluded.
“In 1981 I made a proposal to the provinces for a Charter of Rights and Freedoms and a Patriation Act. It was the one that was ratified the next day to become the Constitution Act of 1982, in which your rights as individual Canadians were protected,” he explained. Nine provinces and the Prime Minister signed it. It was a national document; it represents the nation,” he said.
Section 15 of the Charter says every Canadian, from Prince Rupert to Bonavista, from Niagara to Iqaluit (the capital of Nunavut) has the right to
equality before the law.
Now Peckford has had a twenty-page document drawn up, which is clearly written and very concise. It lists Peckford as the primary plaintiff (applicant) along with five other Canadians. Each of the five Canadian citizens tells their own story regarding why they need to fly.
“When you go to court, you have to be very specific, and this law suit does that,” Peckford explained. He said he chose the mobility clause because every Canadian is affected by it.
It’s a Judicial Review lawsuit, which means Peckford is seeking a rescinding of these rules. “We want it to be declared that these measures are not consistent with the Charter,” he said. “Section 6 gives you the right to travel anywhere in Canada, or leave Canada, and Section 7 gives you the right to life, liberty, and the security of the person.”
“The Government of Canada is trying to say that they can override those rights through Section 1. Section 1 was to only be used in war, insurrection, or the threat or peril of the state,” he continued. “It wasn’t to be used to try to combat a virus for which there is a
99 percent recovery rate. That’s not a threat to the state.”
Peckford is asking for disclosure from the cabinet of all information relied upon by the Minister of Transport informing the decision that travel should be restricted. “They didn’t have data to prove the legitimacy of the travel ban,” he said. He also posed other questions ... Who did the government consult with? Where did they get the information? Did they go outside their circle to seek information? Peckford noted that in a normal legislative process, this is all made transparent, but it wasn’t in this case.
“That’s why most of the world doesn’t have democracy; it’s a tough thing to sustain. You can create it, but sustaining it is very difficult.”

On Tuesday, the 15th of February, the PM declared The Emergency Act. I recalled a similar declaration, The War Measures Act, in 1970 when Trudeau Sr. suspended civil liberties in Quebec after a series of bombings by the FLQ. But this week’s declaration is the response to a peaceful, albeit noisy, act of civil disobedience begun by a convoy of truckers parked in downtown Ottawa in what is referred to as the “red zone.”
According to a spokesperson of the protest occupation, which calls itself the Freedom Convoy, the truckers’ demands are: “the end of all Covid mandates and digital vaccine travel apps.” They are not, they assure us, wanting “to overthrow the government, remove elected officials, or have a confrontation with law enforcement.” They would also like to stop being “referred to as racists.”
My sister lives in Ottawa. She lives far enough away from the noise of the red zone so that she’s not as affected by the endless honking as are some. A friend of hers who lives in a downtown apartment measured the noise level at 84 decibels, which is 13x above safe levels. She is part of a volunteer group that walks people home from work at night because they are afraid. Another friend of my sister was spit at, presumably because she was wearing a mask.
“Why would anyone spit at someone for wearing a mask. How is a mask hurting them?” I wondered out loud. “Hell, they’ve been wearing them for pollution in Tokyo for years.”
The mask has become a symbol of safety for some and control for others.
“I will say,” she added. “You
We Live in Whole Other Worlds
never know who will react to the mask. Those you think will, end up being respectful. And the ones you think will be nice are rude.
It’s a whole other world down there. It’s scary,” she said.
She mentioned a group that calls themselves the Ram Ranch Resistance. I looked them up. Their idea of a counter-protest is to jam the convoy’s walkie-talkie app with a hardcore pornographic anthem involving a dozen and a half-naked gay cowboys. The assumption, I guess, is that all truckers are homophobes. Never mind that some of the truckers are undoubtedly gay, is hardcore porn, of any stripe, really a viable response to the situation?
We ended our phone call saying we can use this as “an opportunity to have a civil conversation.” And as always, saying, ‘I love you.”
Mainstream news sources cherry-pick what they see and hear and are heavy on their descriptors. So I started to watch live feeds provided by guys walking up and down the red zone, day and night. With 24hr camera coverage, it’s less possible to hide what’s happening and what’s being said at any given moment. Two of the guys openly support the convoy, and one, an Ottawa resident, is refreshingly quiet. “I welcome everyone on these walks,” he says. “No opinion is wrong. As long as it’s informed.” He stops at red lights even at 5:30 in the morning. So Canadian.
Today Trudeau accused the Conservatives of aligning themselves with “Nazi flag wavers.” I searched for evidence of that flag. I read blogs, looked for images. I found a video of a black man saying: “I
saw that guy, he was carrying that flag, yes. But what people don’t know is he was yelling, ‘you want this to be your flag? Because this will be what happens if we allow draconian measures to continue.’” Then he added, “He had an eastern European accent which makes me think he lived under a Nazi regime.”
Besides the hundreds of Canadian flags, some held aloft with hockey sticks, I saw three Metis flags and several Quebec flags. And plenty of F*** Trudeau flags, which cast a shadow on the hand-written Peace and Love signs. I saw one Don’t Tread On Me flag, with a provenance dating to the American Revolutionary War, since adapted by the Tea Party and later by many white supremacists in the States. In this case, it lay on the hood of a car, held down by a djembe, an African drum, painted the colours of the Jamaican flag. On the windshield was a sign that said: The Creator Sees Everything. The owner was a young black man wearing a beret, one of six black people I counted during eighteen hours of livecam viewing.
By Madonna Hamel • madonnahamel@hotmail.com
I saw a guy on a stage playing “All Around the Circle” on the tuba accompanied by a woman playing the spoons and three others doing an impromptu jig. I heard one man claim that all the hockey sticks were confiscated overnight by the police. I’m not sure he witnessed the cops or assumed it was them. Someone donated a dozen more, and the kids’ hockey games continued.
Today the new police chief said he has everything in place and is “equipped to escalate if need be.” Will these be the same police witnessed shaking the hands of truckers earlier in the week? Or the ones I saw turning a blind eye to wagon loads of fuel being delivered under their noses? Why are they supporting the truckers? With what exactly are they aligning themselves?
I recall Chris Hedges, author of America, the Farewell Tour, saying in an interview that resistance happens when the police no longer listen to the government but stand with the people. But the people themselves are not of one opinion. Every person has a perspective, and every issue begs to be taken on a case-by-case basis. But I hear, time and again, both protestors and those opposed to the protesters refer equally to Germany during the rise of fascism. And they say exactly the same thing: by doing nothing, they would be standing by and watching the fascists take over.
The vaccine mandate’s intention is to protect a population from contracting a virulent and deadly virus. That’s
a responsible and legitimate intention. The passport is not a star of David scapegoating a religious group. Truckers must have digital passes in order to work and show them daily. I myself chose not to get a digital passport on my phone. I have two pieces of paper with my name printed on them by a nurse. I work as a writer in my home, so I rarely have to show them to anyone.
But the protest-occupation has become bigger than the mandate. The mandate was the tipping point. Freedom is the most-used word in the red zone. How does a nebulous yet essential word like freedom translate into the rights and freedoms of every Canadian, many of whom are less interested in the whys of the protest than in when will it be over.
Perhaps a step in ending the protest is to ask ourselves what freedom looks like. Brian Peckford, the last remaining signatory of Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, spoke today, saying that the Emergency Act “has been invoked against a peaceful and civil disobedience.” He said it’s like “killing a fly with a sledgehammer.”
This protest-occupation reminds us Canada is a country of whole other worlds. (Just ask Indigenous protesters who continue to take a stand against the appropriation and desecration of land.) Some Canadians fear that police will incite violence. Others that the protesters will bring on violence by their stubborn determination to “hold the line.” This country of worlds is watching.
ESTEVAN – February is typically the busiest month of the year for oilwell drilling in Saskatchewan, but the largest players have dramatically reduced their programs compared to previous years, even though oil prices are now in the US$90/bbl. range for benchmark West Texas Intermediate oil. According to Bloomberg, Western Canadian Select (WCS) was US$76.45/bbl. and WTI was US$89.50. Both benchmarks were very close to its highest points in at least 7.5 years.
Drilling rig counts are a key leading indicator of activity in the industry. You don’t frac a well, complete it, produce it, truck or flowline its product, or perform maintenance on it unless that well is drilled first.
According to RiggerTalk.com, publisher of the Canadian Association of Energy Contractors (CAOEC) rig data, as of Feb. 9, there were 31 drilling rigs working in Saskatchewan, either active or moving. The CAOEC website noted there were 226 active rigs in Canada. Alberta had 174, British Columbia had eight, Manitoba had six, and there were seven listed as “other.” There were 463 land-based drilling rigs registered across the country, a little over half of what it was a decade ago. Two offshore rigs were also listed.
Notably, Saskatchewan’s two largest oil producers, Cenovus Energy and Crescent Point Energy, have substantially diminished drilling programs compared to what they ran even during the darkest days of the oil downturn, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the period of January 2015 to March, 2020, Crescent Point would frequently employ over 20 rigs in Saskatchewan around this time of year. Currently, they only have five, three in southeast Saskatchewan, and two in southwest Saskatchewan.
Last year Cenovus bought Husky Energy. Husky had historically been Saskatchewan’s largest oil producer for decades, used to run 10 or more rigs in northwest Saskatchewan prior to their shift away from cold heavy oil production with sand (CHOPS) and towards thermal development. However, prior to COVID, they would still typically run around six rigs in this time of year, drilling for their numerous thermal projects. Each of those cookie-cutter SAGD projects, all-in, cost between $250 and $350 million. With just one rig go-
ing, Cenovus has effectively paused most of its drilling development for much of the area, compared to Husky’s previous activity levels.
Rundown
In southeast Saskatchewan, 13 rigs were working. Adonai was working south of Carnduff. Spectrum was south of Oxbow. Tundra had one rig at Roche Percee. A cluster of rigs were working 10 kilometres east of Benson, at Woodley. They included Midale Petroleums, Surge, Aldon Oils and Whitecap Resources. Whitecap Resources also had rigs at Lampman and in the Weyburn Unit.
Allied Energy Corporation had a rig just west of the Weyburn Unit.
Crescent Point Energy Corp. had rigs at Forget, Viewfield and southeast of Ratcliffe.
Moving over to southwest Saskatchewan, Crescent Point also had two rigs in the region, with one north of Shaunavon and a second between Eastend and Frontier.
North American Helium showed a rig working southwest of Mankota. Weil Helium has an idle helium processing facility southeast of Mankota.
Whitecap also had a rig working due north of Gull Lake.
West Central Saskatchewan had 11 rigs going. Baytex had rigs at Elrose, south of Superb, Teine Energy had rigs at Plato, north of Kindersley, and Hoosier.
Whitecap had rigs working at Plenty, south of Dodsland,
Strathcona Resources had one rig northwest of Kelfield.
Ish Energy had a rig working within spitting distance of the Kindersley weigh scales, west of Kindersley.
Longshore Resources LTd. had a rig just south of Evesham.
Northwest Saskatchewan had just three rigs working. Baytex had one rig south of Maidstone, while Canadian Natural Resources had one rig northeast of Maidstone.
Cenovus, which bought Husky last year, had just one rig working south of Edam. During most of the oil downturn until 2020, Husky used to operate around six rigs in this region prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meili takes his own “walk in the snow,” steps down as NDP leader. The last two years he focused almost exclusively on COVID, and very little on energy
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK
SASKATOON – Ryan
Meili announced on Feb. 18 he is stepping down as leader of the New Democratic Party. The 46-yearold Saskatoon Meewasin MLA was initially elected in a byelection in March, 2017. He had sought the leadership in 2009 and 2012, ultimately gaining success in his third attempt in 2017.
In announcing his resignation in Saskatoon, Meili spoke of “taking a walk in the snow,” a clear reference to former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who famously decided to resign after taking his own walk in the snow, in February 1984.
He made the announcement just days after a byelection loss to the Saskatchewan Party in the Athabasca riding in the extreme northwest corner of the province. That riding had been an NDP stronghold under Buckley Belanger for over two decades.
“I’m very proud of the work that we’ve done as a team over the years but it would be foolish to not mention what we’ve been through,” he said, referring to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The pandemic has had so much impact on all of our lives. And I think about what we’ve seen from that first wave, when the Sask Party had instead planned to have a snap election and pretended the pandemic wasn’t coming. And we stood up and spoke up boldly and clearly that we needed to act and protect Saskatchewan. In the second wave when we were hit so hard when seniors homes, that we’ve been raising the alarm about for years, saw dozens and dozens of people lose their lives preventable deaths. The third wave, when Regina was shut down, after Scott Moe saw the modeling that showed the cases were on the rise and still chose to relax restrictions. The fourth wave, when again he ignored the evidence, and we ended up seeing people have to be shipped halfway across the country to get care, thousands losing access to essential cancer care, surgery, and more. And today, here we are in the fifth wave. We don’t even
know what’s truly going on.” Meili said.
Indeed, nearly every communication from the New Democratic Party since the onset of the pandemic has been focused almost exclusively on said pandemic. Nearly every question in question period raised by Meili focused on the pandemic, invariably calling for more restrictive measures. In recent weeks, Pipeline Online had three times requested comment from the party on energy issues, but did not receive a response on the questions posed.
Meili continued to accuse Premier Scott Moe of “hiding the numbers.”
He said, “I have no regrets about speaking up for public health actions. And no regrets about saying we have to be courageous and tell the truth, and not simply pander. The only regret I have is that we weren’t able to force this government to take COVID more seriously, to act to protect people’s lives, to protect our health system, to protect people’s jobs. Scott Moe has failed us, and I’m sorry we weren’t able to force him to do better.
“But as I’ve been thinking about this, because I know that this pandemic is going to end, and no one can say exactly how or when. But I feel with the widespread availability of vaccines and therapeutics, we are on the brink of a new phase. I’m excited about that new phase.
“But I really did take that walk in the snow the other day, and no joking, I really was thinking about Peloton, and how, at the beginning of the pandemic, everybody want-
mier Brad Wall. Former Premier Lorne Calvert, who lost to Wall, was succeeded by Duane Lingenfelter, Cam Broten, and now Ryan Meili.
Meili said, “You don’t become the Leader of the Opposition to stay Leader of Opposition. You do it to become premier, that’s not going to happen.”
ed the indoor exercise bike. That was the thing. And now, nobody wants one. And you know, I get it. People want to move on from this time. And as someone who’s become so associated with masks, with mandates, with calling for the tough things that needed to be done, I know it’s going to be very difficult to no longer be associated with that. At a time when people are looking for something, I believe that we need a new voice.”
Meili said he would stay on as leader until a new one is chosen. “I hope that it will happen soon,” he said of the leadership race.
“When there’s a new leader selected, I will move on,” Meili said. Whether he sticks around after that is yet to be decided, as he noted, “A former leader can be a help, and can be a hinderance.”
Meili downplayed the significance of the byelection loss, saying “It’s really that larger question about what kind of voice we need going forward.”
He’s been thinking about this change “most seriously in these last couple of months.”
Meili said he would tell the next leader to “Tell the truth, keeping honest with Saskatchewan people. Be direct. It may not seem like the right thing. It may not seem like the most successful thing to do, politically. But people respect integrity. They respect when you’re genuine and sincere. And I believe that’s at the heart of New Democrats.
Meili is the fourth NDP leader to fall since the initial election of the Saskatchewan Party in 2007 under former Pre-
“And that there were people who had a lot of hope in me. People who put a lot of effort and support behind the campaigns that I’ve been part of, and I’m really grateful for that support and, and sorry for those who I’m disappointing today. But I do feel that this is the right choice,” he said.
“This is an opportunity for Saskatchewan New Democrats to have a new voice, and for people that Saskatchewan. It’s not like people are impressed by Scott Moe, by the Saskatchewan Party, but they’re looking for a real alternative. I believe this is the opportunity for the NDP in that real alternative.”

Kerrobert Tigers’ Tyson Wuttunee officially retires from SWHL NOTICE
JORDAN PARKER
Your Southwest Media Group
The oldest active player in the Saskatchewan Western Hockey League retired Saturday after 20 years of playing senior hockey.
Kerrobert Tigers captain Tyson Wuttunee had family and friends present. His parents gave a special blanket and sweetgrass to Tigers coach Brad Murphy, honouring a tradition in First Nations culture.
The player’s wife, three young girls, and brother Sheldon – a former player also – were also on-hand.
“The feeling during that ceremony was pretty emotional. I couldn’t believe I was going to finally be done playing competitive senior hockey. I still remember my younger days when I’d be ready to battle Friday and Saturday nights,” he said.
“All these memories just flooded back, but I know it’s time. I want to relax and hopefully now use my experience and knowledge to help the youth around Kerrobert. My memories will always just remind me how much I love this game.”
It’s been a long, winding road for Wuttunee and one that’s come full circle for the amiable star. Right out of junior, he was supposed to play at Notre Dame as a 21-year-old. He made the decision to stay and play senior hockey in North Battleford.
“I just made the decision to stick around and stay home and play,” said Wuttunee, who would go all over the area in his two decades.
He played for the Senior Cut Knife Colts in the North Saskatchewan River Hockey League, where he won the scoring race and was MVP. He then made a AAA senior run with his brother Sheldon in Battleford.
It was the 2002-2003 season where he played 21 games in the SWHL for the Tigers first, racking up 54 points. He
would play two more seasons (scoring 98 points) before he headed to the Unity Miners, Laval Chiefs, Eston Ramblers and the Biggar Nationals across the province.
He returned to Kerrobert full-time in 2015-2016, and he’s now finished his career in the place he calls home.
“I met my wife here playing. I have three beautiful daughters, and my wife is a teacher,” he said. “I own my own excavating business now, and I’m so fortunate for the road senior hockey took me down. I’m lucky for the life I have now.”
Wuttunee decided to hang up his skates when he realized just how busy the whole family’s schedules were getting.
“My oldest is 11 and plays U-13 girls hockey. My middle girl is nine and busy, and my baby is seven and always has things going on. We could have ten games in a weekend, and my wife has been holding it down,” he said.
“I’m out running my company, and then dad comes home and has games all weekend too. It was time to shut it down and devote some time to my kids. I’m so fortunate my wife did this for so long, and I can’t thank her enough.”
His spouse Robbi Wuttunee was by his side for the incredible ceremony, and he was so happy to have that send-off.
“I phoned my family and made sure they’d be there. My parents presented the blanket for the team. It’s something we hold dear in our culture, and it’s presented to someone you have high respect and appreciation for,” he said.
“My parents gave me a blanket as well for being their son, and in recognition of my accomplishments over the years. It was bittersweet, but to share this was so special. I know I’ve turned heads here over the years, but being able to share my culture and be in the community, school and do my part is so important.”

“I sharpen skates for kids in the community, and I don’t think I’ll ever get out of the game. I love it too much. I have a power skating program in the spring in Kerrobert, and
I’m coaching a U-13 girls team in Kindersley,” he said.
“I will remain involved and keep my options open. But first and foremost, I want to coach and help my daughters as much as I can.”
Wuttunee will always remember the two decades he spent in rinks and carry those experiences with him into this new life chapter.
“I am so happy I helped all these small towns and communities
have better hockey, and filling rinks with fans is something I’ll always hold dear. I appreciate everyone who’s helped me and been there for me along the way,” he said.
“I just want Saskatchewan to keep hockey and senior hockey alive. I hope I can inspire other kids to follow their dreams and never stop playing.”

Courthouse restorations to begin this spring
Both past and present residents of Kerrobert are proud of the Kerrobert Court House and its impressive architecture. The Kerrobert Courthouse Restoration Society and the Town of Kerrobert are excited to report $90,600.00 has been allocated to the front stair project. The replacement of the front staircase, a very costly project, is the group’s first priority, and will be re-tendered in the near future. The grand marble staircase serves as an expression of the courthouse’s status as a public building.
In addition the Town has commissioned a company to work on se-
lective demolition and restoration of the side walls with new foundations underneath, which will cost approximately $40,000. This work will begin in the spring.
Meanwhile the society’s restoration efforts continue to emphasize the value of this heritage building as an important gathering place for the community. This committee of the town council was formed to fundraise for upgrades to the court house in an effort to restore it to its natural beauty. The building was officially recognized as a Municipal Heritage Site on September 8th, 1982. Anyone is welcome to join the committee, which
meets the last Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Court House. Committee members are individuals who have the well being of the building in mind.
According to Kerrobert’s history book “Echoes From The Tower”, in 1995, the NDP government spent $58,000 renovating the Court House, installing new windows and new slate roof, but in September of 1996 it closed its doors. In November of 1998 the Town of Kerrobert was able to purchase the property from Sask. Property Management Corporation and moved the Town Administration to the offices in the court house. Today it houses the museum,
Chamber of Commerce, KLD Wellness Foundation, the Courtroom Art Gallery and Shepard & Miller Law Office. The Courthouse was built by Wilson and Wilson of Regina in 1920 at a cost of $145,750.00, as the seat of the Kerrobert Judicial District. As one of ten courthouses built in the province, it was capable of housing multiple courts simultaneously. Its heritage value lies in numerous aspects of its architecture. Its specific style was chosen in order to help reduce construction costs without taking away from the grandeur of this judicial building.

Conservative Party leader must prioritize balanced budgets
BY FRANCO TERRAZZANO Canadian Taxpayers Federation
Balanced budgets mean less government debt for Canadian kids and grandkids to pay back, less money wasted on interest charges and fewer tax hikes.
At best, the last Conservative Party leader paid lip service to balancing the budget. The next Conservative leader needs to make balancing the budget and bringing Canada back to financial sanity a top priority.
Based on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s last budget, the federal government isn’t expected to balance the books until 2070, according to data from the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
That would cost taxpayers $3.8 trillion just to pay interest charges on the debt over those five decades of deficits. Those are trillions of dollars we can’t use to hire more nurses, reduce class sizes or leave in taxpayers’ pockets because they’re going to the bond fund managers on Bay Street through interest payments.
Each Canadian’s individual share of the federal debt is currently about $30,000. By 2070, that could reach $67,000. That’s a huge tab that the government is piling on the backs of future generations.
What did previous Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole do to stop this tsunami of red ink?
O’Toole wanted to spend about $50 billion more than Trudeau’s last budget.
We
“The Conservatives proposed government spending in this fiscal year that was higher than what we proposed,” said Trudeau’s finance minister, Chrystia Freeland.
Other than ending the government’s media bailout, O’Toole’s answer to Canada’s spending problem was to turn to remote work for government employees. That’s it. Balance the budget one Zoom meeting at a time.
O’Toole said he’d balance the budget within a decade. But how could he balance the budget decades before current projections while spending tens of billions more? O’Toole’s math didn’t add up.
The next Conservative Party leader needs to offer a better vision.
Analysis from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation shows the federal government could balance its budget in 2023-24 by returning spending to pre-pandemic levels of 2018-19, adjusted upward for inflation and population growth.
That’s balancing the budget by returning spending to alltime highs. The federal government spent more money in 201819 – before the pandemic or any cross-country recession – than it did during any single year during World War II.
How would the federal government find those savings?
With the government’s massive overspending, finding savings in every area of the budget should be like finding water in the ocean.
The government will have to do
the little things right. That means no more spending thousands of dollars on sex toy shows in Germany, or on marijuana simulation kits for the military or on red carpet galas for communications bureaucrats.
The government will also have to do the big things right. No more giving 312,825 federal government bureaucrats pay raises during a pandemic while their neighbours lose their jobs and businesses.
No more giving businesses like the Ford Motor Company $295 million. Trudeau has announced more than $18 billion in corporate welfare since 2017. No more increasing the blank cheque that some premiers receive through equalization by $1 billion every year for ever. And no more forcing struggling taxpayers to give the CBC $1.4 billion per year.
Taxpayers expect leadership at the top. That means MPs need to reverse the multiple pay raises they’ve given themselves during the pandemic. Political parties should be forced to repay the $3.7 million they took through the wage subsidy that was meant to help businesses during the pandemic. And former governors general shouldn’t be able to expense taxpayers for more than $200,000 every year for the rest of their lives and up to six months after their death.
There’s still ample fat left to cut in Ottawa. The next Conservative leader needs to make balanced budgets a top priority.

Inspiring Parrot does it in ‘style’
There are uplifting stories, there are stories that are perfect for Hollywood movies, and then there’s Max Parrot’s story.
The Quebecer won Canada’s first gold medal of the 2022 Winter Olympics, but the slopestyle medal he won — he won silver in the 2018 games in PyeongChang, South Korea — almost defies logic. Between his silver medal four years ago and the gold he won in China, Parrot was afflicted with, and overcame, a grave cancer diagnosis, Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Diagnosed just a few months after his silver medal in Korea, Parrot underwent 12 rounds of chemotherapy and was declared cancer-free in July, 2019. The return to championship form as a snowboarder was possible, but probably unlikely.
Now he’s a gold medal winner!
I did the biggest run of my life.”
Now, about that Hollywood movie . . . how about a documentary? A story in People magazine on the Canadian snowboarder said he recently released a documentary film titled MAX — Life as a Gold Medal, which tells his amazing story. The documentary was completed before his inspiring victory in China, so now he’s got gold medals everywhere — a metaphorical one in the title of his film, and a real one in his trophy case.

But he captured a bronze medal in the same event Parrot won, giving him three bronzes in as many iterations of the Games, and hoped to win more silverware when the ‘big air’ events were held later in the Games.
