Activism does not belong in journalism. This journalist won’t be an activist.
This journalist, will be a journalist.
Facts, objective, impartial.
And I welcome criticism.

No complaining! You make opponents play at Azteca at 7,200 feet above sea level and thin air, where opponents have trouble breathing. Opponents gassed at half time.
Bring a big jacket! And bring gloves too! It’s going to be cold! 😉. Welcome to Canada!

BREAKING: The City of Saskatoon’s fiscal situation is so bad – projections show even if they cut over $15-million from the budget, residents would STILL see property taxes hiked 13%. And that’s just for 2024!
CFO says it’s ‘unprecedented’.

Uh.... huh? Mexico finished fourth in the standings amongst the qualified teams. USA finished 1st.
1 always plays against 4.
This is not new in sports.
Nothing gets your ass up in the morning like watching the Roughriders help Bret Hart defeat Psycho Sid during a WWF Superstars TV taping in 1995 in Regina.

The last time Saskatchewan won a Brier was Rick Folk in 1980.
Mike McEwen was born in 1980.
Rick Folk won the 1980 playdowns at Nutana Curling Club
Mike McEwen won this years playdowns where?.... the Nutana Curling Club.

That format is so bad. Less group games puts more emphasis on “slog soccer” to win on pen kicks. Watch Bahrain beat Brazil on penalties in group stage (ridiculous)
Should be 12 groups x 4 teams. Top 2 in each group + 8 best 3rd place teams. Encourages goal scoring in group stage

Guys! ITS PRESEASON ON A TUESDAY NIGHT! I don't know anyone from Saskatoon who made the drive to see a preseason game with virtually no rider starters playing.
I'm betting paid attendance/ticket sales were much better.
SASK MORTGAGE BROKER: Says some variable rate mortgage holders in Saskatchewan are approaching trigger rates. Says some may have even crossed over. More triggers could hit if rates increase. Will post full interview soon.

I HAVE A STORY:
Today, as I was walking downtown near midtown mall, a lady on the street shouted “MATT!”
I turned around & she smiled. Said I did a great job & saw how I loved what I do. Says she watches each night & liked how I thank viewers for joining me at the end of
Not sure it’s the CFLs alleged bad “business model” that’s been “exposed” here. I wonder if it’s a bad “marketing” model. A league that has NO Esports presence, NO content on Nintendo,PlayStation or XBOX. And are they on twitch? These are the new $ streams.

I personally have no problem paying for twitter blue.
Just purchased my subscription.
I have no clue why some say paying for twitter Blue is so embarrassing.
I don’t care if people laugh at me. Lol.
I like some of the perks, like being able to upload more videos.
Like,
Struggling with a serious flu like illness right now. It’s rough, and I had a very hard day with some very scary episodes.
If you feel like saying a quick prayer for old Matty please feel free.
And whenever you need, I will do the same.

The Yard is more about personalities. Soon it may be Mike Trout, Sydney Crosby, The Rock... etc. It gets non-sports fans playing it (+ sales)
Madden is becoming a arcade/strategy game WRAPPED AROUND NFL football :(
While most are focused on NHL playoffs, some potential Jr hockey WHL playoff history could be made.
The Saskatoon Blades were down 0-3 in the 2nd rd playoff series Vs Red Deer
Blades comeback win in gm 4
Won gm 5
Won gm 6
Series tied 3-3. Game 7 Tuesday! Set
Only 2 teams in
Maybe I should host a twitter space next week to talk about local news. Like, maybe we just need to have that convo here. And get ‘on the ground’ ideas on how to improve it. What does the audience want? What formats? What do you want?

Great series between the Pats and Blades! I know Connor Bedard is getting most of the headlines. But a guy who should for more attention is Pats goaltender Drew Sim.
In 6 games he’s allowed 21 goals. But that’s on 212 (!!!) shots.
@TristanSnell
This is a total fallacy. Crime is a global problem too. Doesn’t mean we don’t ask about what role our government has to play in dealing with crime.
Same goes with inflation.
@SteveSaretsky
What many don’t realize is the real estate rules in Canada are meant to protect the banks. Not the consumers.
A big misconception is you can just “walk away” if your underwater.
In the US it’s possible. But not in Canada.
I have to say, Saskatchewan provincial by-elections don’t usually move the needle extensively. But when a seat that’s been held by a party for over two decades flips, it might get more attention.
