It's that time of year again! We get to wipe the slate clean and start all over. New resolutions like eating healthy, exercising and spending less seem to be at the top of everyone's list.

The Editor, Recently the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) met with Saskatchewan Finance Minister Ken Krawetz to discuss our recommendations for the upcoming budget.

The Editor, There have been several mistruths put forward by Ralph Goodale, but the people of Saskatchewan haven’t forgotten his patented Liberal doublespeak.

It’s the dawn of a new year. Aren’t you excited about the prospects, dear diary? There are at least three wars being waged in the Middle East right now, which is about par for the course over there. Canada is engaged in one of them.

They say hindsight is 20/20, so looking back at the year we left behind is supposed to provide some perspective. Over the course of the year we move through news cycles incredibly fast.

Exactly how low oil can go, and for how long it remains at that level, will be Saskatchewan’s key political question in 2015. Of course, it won’t be the only key political question in 2015.

With Christmas just ahead of us, I found this great column by Kristen Welch which hopefully will wake up some of the parents out there who are giving their kids everything but still seeing no difference in their attitude.

During Roman occupation of Israel just over 2,000 years ago, a Jewish baby was born in a stable at an inn in a crowded city, and a message was proclaimed that night, “Peace on earth and good will to all men.

Part of the message of Christmas is Peace On Earth. But the Christmas story is in some ways not at all about peace. Mary was an unwed mother, in a country where the Law was to stone people for adultery.
