It's time for Facebook Friday - I find the best of the week just for you.

This friend says, "I accidentally became important at work and it's ruining my life."

Here's a guy who writes, "Due to the current price of food, the 5 seconds rule has been extended to 15 seconds."

I like this, "I'm confused about how the funeral home can raise the price of a funeral service and blame it on the cost of living."

Kenneth Wayne Avery
November 12,1937 - February 14, 2025

Ken passed away with his family by his side after bravely enduring lung disease for his last few years. Ken was born and grew up in the Marquis, Saskatchewan area where he graduated from high school.

Ken obtained a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Saskatchewan in 1959, then obtained his Professional Teaching Certification in Regina in 1961. He went on to teach in Strasbourg, Brownlee, Briercrest and Mortlach. After teaching he became a realtor in Moose Jaw until he retired in 2002.

Team Canada was victorious during last night's thrilling wrap up to the Four Nations Face Off against Team USA. Connor McDavid scored the game winner, a wrist shot that went top shelf, glove side, 8:18 into overtime. Nathan MacKinnon and Sam Benett also scored for Canada.

The NHL regular season will pick back up tomorrow with 14 games on the slate.

The Moose Jaw Warriors board the bus for a roadie to Prince Albert later today. Voice of the Warriors, James Gallo, has the call on Country 100, starting with the pre-game show at 6:40.

The manager of Moose Jaw’s only emergency overnight shelter said watching vulnerable clients struggling to survive the winter, and particularly the recent extreme cold conditions, has been difficult — she praised her shelter staff for taking care of each other and the community. 

Much like the people operating them, vehicles are none too pleased when temperatures drop (and linger) well into the -30°C range like they did during the province's most recent cold snap.

There are plenty of things that go wrong when the deep freeze hits, and according to CAA Saskatchewan there was quite a demand for their services in the Moose Jaw area during the record breaking cold. 

The nation’s GST holiday wrapped up on February 15, during those two months taxes were not collected on dozens of items, including children’s clothing, car seats, food and beverages, and more in a bid to ease affordability during the holiday season. 

Now that the dust has settled, business owners are taking a look back to see if the juice was worth the squeeze. 

Canada defeated its archrival the United States 3-2 in overtime in the 4 Nations Face-Off final on Thursday night in what was an emotionally-charged affair for players and fans alike.

The rematch between the two sides was intense, although it did not consist of three fights in the opening nine seconds, as the preliminary round game in Montreal did last Saturday, a 3-1 win for the Americans.

Connor McDavid scored the game winner, while Nathan MacKinnon and Sam Bennett scored in regulation for Canada. Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson replied for the U.S. 

Seventy per cent of Canadians are in favour of dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on the United States, a new poll suggests.

Nearly half of respondents to the Leger poll — 45 per cent — said they were strongly in favour of such tariffs, while 25 per cent said they were somewhat in favour.

U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged to impose steep tariffs on imports from Canada and other countries.
