This is the face of a hero. Sean Hayes, a teacher, used his body to help a teenage girl who was set ablaze at Evan Hardy School in Saskatoon last week. Apparently he will require surgery after getting third degree burns.

Nice prank.

Highlight of my

year. We didn't have many 'Manny in the Morning' outtakes, but this was the best. Manny is the man, and it was awesome that he always took time for the morning chat.

There aren’t enough characters on Twitter for me to say everything good I could say about Colby Cave. A good man. A natural leader. Embodies every good thing people say about Saskatchewan people. Thinking of his family.
In COVID, my production business has stayed busy by streaming funerals. We’ve done around 30. It’s provided a new perspective. Not one eulogy has mentioned wealth or bank statements. Provide your family and friends with good memories and you win at life. My take anyway.
If Manny Viveiros wasn’t a hockey coach, he would be the CEO of something important. A winner at life.

@walsha
Edwards isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I like this call. A Joyride with a Hindenburg-like ending is a solid metaphor for a first place team out in round 1.
Marchand prior to being disrespected; good insightful answer. If you're in the media, respect the athletes you cover and they'll respect you. Pay your dues, build a rapport with the athletes and then take playful jabs in the right situation.

Did it. I want our kids to get their childhood back, I want small businesses to thrive again and dammit I want my game day
@SCBroncos
job back.
Arrived at drive thru site in Swift at 11:37. Jabbed at 11:49. Waited 15 minutes after. Feel nothing.
This is a few screen caps from an email I received from Dr. Tara Lee I’m sharing with her permission. A year ago I was anti mandate, anti mask and Vax hesitant.
Things have changed. People are going to continue to needlessly die. Please get jabbed.
It’s an
@scbroncos
game day. Remembering this day in 1986 when we lost four of our boys.
A local artist, Jesse Genns, wrote a song about the bus crash that will play at tonight’s game called ‘Clovers’.
“They were someone else’s sons, but we loved them like our own”
Last night the

“I took the vaccine and I woke up the next morning with a nasty headache, dizzy, sick to my stomach and throwing up.
I also had 8 schooners of beer and a 2am McDonalds run…”
Not saying Vax side effects don’t happen, but know the difference between correlation and causation.

what can be done to deal with this absurd nuisance.
Parents who are letting kids go to parties and still have play dates...sometimes being a parent involves doing things your kids don’t like. Your kids need parents right now, not friends. Make the unpopular call and keep your sweaty snot monsters at home.
Twitter feed full of hipster millennials celebrating the end of Don Cherry’s run. I get it’s fashionable to dislike anyone old, white and opinionated. Do take time to remember his work against animal cruelty and promoting organ donation while posting celebration gifs tho.
My favourite part about being from Swift Current is when I say I’m from Swift Current and people jubilantly say ‘Speedy Creek!’ I act like I’ve never heard that before. Seems to make their day every time.
Have adults always passionately hated every person they’ve ever disagreed with or is that a new thing? I remember my conservative mother enjoying friendships and many good times with those of a liberal mindset.
It is with much excitement that I announce I am seeking a spot on

Council. I am looking forward to earning your support for the November 9th election!
Yesterday was a great day. As many people know, I grew up not knowing my father. Thanks to

I was able to determine who he is. I met some cousins, aunts and uncles yesterday before and during the Rider game. It’s a great crew! 1/3
I don’t understand people who passionately advocate for the removal of pineapple on pizza. Menus are large. Order something else. The person next to you enjoying pineapple on pizza ain’t hurtin anybody. 🍍 🍕 ❤️

Got called a ‘Liberal’ for encouraging vaccinations.
This isn’t a ‘left or right’ thing. It is the job of the right and left to disagree yet come to an understanding for the best of those they govern. Put the partisan BS aside for a solution.
"We were able to establish our process, create scoring opportunities in all three periods, we just need to find a way to separate ourselves here."
The Broncos are back on home ice for a 7:00 game against the Calgary Hitmen tonight!

blue & white game today. A high percentage of those were first jabs. Thanks to all who took a step towards saving hockey season.
This morning at the Southside Coop a young lady working there showed composure beyond her years. A man claimed he was exempt from the mask policy, but had no paperwork. He was belligerent, but she stood her ground. I don’t like the mask mandate one bit, but don’t be an asshole.
High stakes tonight in Swift.

6-0 W. For the second time this month, import Petr Pavelec dropped the mitts with a league heavyweight. He had a tilt with Matt Henry in Brandon on January 12th. Petr got second place in both scraps but he's fearless.
My role in this was pretty easy. Marcus wrote a wonderful song and Jesse was the perfect narrator for this story.
“They’re someone else’s sons, but we love them like our own” sums up what this team has always meant to our community.
Clovers... A song dedicated to our four boys we lost too soon. 💚💙💙💚

Thank you to all three of those men for their work in this amazing tribute.
There is offending and there is hurting. If Don Cherry hurt people with his remarks, the right call was made. If all he did was offend, then we are officially on a slippery slope.
Can't have a day where Manny Viveiros is in the news and not take throw in a bit of shameless self promotion. I was so fortunate to work with Manny for two years, and can assure everyone in the

I remember one of my first convos with Colby Cave. I’m 37 at the time. He’s 19. I’m trying to relate to him using hockey lingo and acting cool. Looking back, it was awesome of him to smile, nod and humour me. Only one actual adult in that convo and it wasn’t me.

If I ever get access to a time machine, first stop is Wong’s Kitchen in the 1980’s on a Saturday night. Feel like I would learn a lot of interesting things about Swift Current history and parents of myself and friends. 😂
Was at a

game in Moose Jaw last night. Overheard some Moose Javians talking about the

#MoreCowbell
The WHL is an amazing league and has been for decades. As a kid, I didn’t realize how valuable watching Joe Sakic in Swift Current was. Never thought we would see another like him. We did. Thanks Connor Bedard for getting fans back in their hometown rinks after the pandemic.

All the more reason to appreciate the hundreds of teachers who willingly and enthusiastically make extra curriculars happen as well as the thousands of volunteers in our province who help out our youth in outside school programs.
