Tanya's Tales

Christmas is in the air the time of year where gift giving and spending time with family is promoted. However, often times families zone in on the gifts aspect of Christmas.

It's hard to believe, but the National Hockey League player chosen as the best defenceman last year - a true, red-blooded Canadian (and a Canadien) - is not yet a lock for Canada's Olympic team roster. The P.K.

I've always found linguistics interesting.

Estevan's city councillors and administrative staffers entered into the first stage of2014 budget deliberations today.

Were you like me, dear diary, when it came to not knowing Canada had a secret electronic spy agency? I knew we had RCMP who did some clandestine things. And I knew about our oxymoronic Canadian Intelligence Services or that CSIS thing.

The Estevan Bruins and La Ronge Ice Wolves made arguably the biggest splash at the SJHL's Dec. 1 cutdown deadline, swinging a five-player trade on Sunday.

Is it time for youth to take over as Canada's major curling forces? For ages, it seems it's been Kevin Martin, Jeff Stoughton and Glenn Howard as the only names to consider for major titles.

A Grey Cup rushing record was set by Kory Sheets, the top Canadian was named to be Chris Getzlaf, and the Riders won the 101st Grey Cup. So, I feel a little bit like a bad Saskatchewanian at the moment.

If this is a dream, don't wake me up. The Saskatchewan Roughriders captured the 101st Grey Cup championship with a 45-23 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Sunday at Mosaic Stadium. Just like the week before, the score flattered their opponents.
