It's time for the best from the best on Facebook Friday.

We'll start with this one, "How my wife apologizes: I'm sorry for the mean, hurtful, accurate things I said."

I like this, "Forget about the past. You can't change it. Forget about the future. You can't predict it. And, forget about the present. I didn't get you one."

Here's a thought, "Your ex asking you to still be friends after you break up is like kidnappers asking you to stay in touch after they let you go."

The Edmonton Oilers are looking to even-up the NHL's Western Conference final tonight in Dallas with the Stars up one-game-to-none.

The Florida Panthers took a two-games-to-none lead in the Eastern Conference final with a 5-0 win over the Carolina Hurricanes last night. 

Canada's OUT of the World Men's Hockey Championship. Denmark came from behind to beat Canada 2-1 yesterday in quarter-final action. The Danes tied it up in the final minutes and scored the winner with just 49 seconds left.

With the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) set to go on strike Friday, the potential loss of mailing services could put a financial squeeze on local businesses that rely on affordable shipping. 

Postal workers initially walked off the job on Nov. 15, 2024, before suspending job action on Dec. 17. The union has now signalled plans to resume strike activity on Friday. 

Kimberly Lewis, owner of Seven Stones by Kimberly in Moose Jaw, said the timing of the initial strike was devastating for her business. 

The Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery (MJMAG) is planning a busy Opening Reception next Friday, May 30th, at 5:30 p.m., including opening two new exhibitions, introducing its first Indigenous Artist-in-Residence, plus two artists who will work out of new studio spaces for a five-month period, and participating in PRIDE Week. 

The Riverhurst Ferry was open for less than a day before closing for repairs. 

Following the ferry's opening for the season last Friday, operations ceased Saturday do to an issue with the underwater cable. 

Inspection has revealed the cable needs to be replaced before the ferry crossing can reopen. 

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways is currently working to correct the issue. There is no estimate for the repair to be completed. 

Motorists are encouraged to check the Highway Hotline to see when the Riverhurst Ferry is open again. 

Residents are advised that the City of Moose Jaw will be conducting routine bridge inspections and updating condition surveys over the next couple of weeks. 

These inspections and surveys are part of the city’s regular maintenance program. Condition surveys are completed on an as-needed basis, while bridge inspections follow a three-year cycle. Both are routine, precautionary measures. 

The work will take place at various bridges across the city and is expected to wrap up by May 29, weather permitting. 

Canada's western premiers say they've agreed to identify, plan and develop new economic corridors to connect provincial resources to international markets.

A joint statement issued Thursday says doing so would boost Canada's market access in Asia and Europe while the country fights a trade war with the United States and China.

The union representing about 55,000 Canada Post employees has called for a countrywide halt to overtime work, saying its negotiators will continue to review the latest contract offers from the mail carrier.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers said late Thursday that members were being told to refuse any work beyond eight hours in a day and 40 hours in a week.
