    I used to walk through that graveyard after work at a pizza place in the canarama stretch mall during the late 90s at around 11:30 p.m. To be honest it was just a tiny bit uncomfortable but then again i was alot younger and stronger to shut things out. So glad i didn't know about the history of the place.

    "Arts and Science" building ar Usask. Dec 2022, couple (Blonde Woman in Red Dress/High heels Gentlemen in Tuxedo) walking down stairs. Made it to bottom, but stopped. There were hallways and doors locked with alarms on, they would have been heard past the stairs. (Week when University was closed on Christmas Holidays)

    Now that it is becoming apparent that E.V.'s cause more pollution than ICE vehicles, and that their usability has been greatly exaggerated by believers in "climate change", there is a world wide push back against E.V.'s . E.V.'s are even more problematic in a place like Saskatchewan where electricity is coal generated and expensive...and green energy is notoriously unreliable and insufficient.

    Where do they get these apologists for socialism from? If you dig through the B.S. you will find that the core solution being proposed to face the "climate crisis" , which socialists already admitted they invented ( The First Global Revolution" by King and Schneider/Club of Rome 1992), is always the adoption of a totalitarian socialist global government. Your free choices , capitalism, and your democratic political system and it's institutions have to be eliminated according to these lunatics, because you might choose something that THEY have decided is BAD.

    They should have invited atmospheric scientist Richard Lindzen to explain how many false assumptions and methodologies , that are a threat to the integrity of science, were used to establish the theory of A.G.W. Then they should have invited a decent professor of European history to explain the children's crusade and how Greta Thunberg is simply repeating the same debacle...leading innocent young people into enslavement by the elites who are cheering them on.

    Art is a western concept tho. In indigenous cultures it was deeply connected to our belief system aka religion, our ancestors, and the nature, and animals around us: sacred amulets and medicine, a right of passage, and an identity marker. Thank you for sharing your story, and your work. Decolonizing and healing is key, and taking back our ancestral markings is a huge part of that revival.

    Leave the kids alone.I cant believe the sexuality mentally ill are influencing our public schools now. People obviously dont realize they have sexual disorders. This isnt about inclusion of nice people. Cause if it was just nice people, they both wouldnt be promoting pride crap. This is an inclusion of sexuality. Sadly, taking this topic a step further. Do these children look like they are sexually active? 100% no, i rest my case.
