MooseJaw

‘A Home to Call My Own’ a locally produced and filmed documentary, premiered yesterday at the Moose Jaw Public Library Theatre. 

The half-hour documentary shared the stories of those experiencing homelessness in Moose Jaw and other communities while dispelling myths that surround the topic. 

The Moose Jaw Art Guild has had an annual exhibition at the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery (MJMAG) since the facility opened — their newest show This Is Us is the 57th iteration for them, which guild president Patrick Hall said is a real honour. 

This is the third annual Empty Bowls charity fundraiser event organized by Square One Community, Inc, and the tables were full — at least 200 people turned out in support, including many local politicians.

Carnie's Comments

They played all their "Greatest Hits of All Time" and had some fun doing it.

The 80s Club, featuring Spoons, Men Without Hats, A Flock of Seagulls and Honeymoon Suite took to the stage at the Moose Jaw Events Centre for their 5th show in 5 nights. I wondered if some of these aging rock stars could "bring it". They did and they left it all on the stage.

I loved watching Sandy Horne of Spoons. She plays bass and delivers backing vocals. She's 63 years old. She's been with Spoons since 1979 - 45 years. She was awesome.

If no political party is willing to say uncle, the drawn-out stalemate in the House of Commons is heading for an unprecedented situation that could amount to a tacit lack of confidence in the government, without anyone in Parliament casting a vote. 

The Conservatives and Bloc Québécois have already announced plans to try to bring down the government and trigger an election with a non-confidence motion at the next opportunity. But there's no telling when that opportunity will come, because the House has been gridlocked in a filibuster for more than a month.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government could have acted faster on reining in immigration programs, after blaming "bad actors" for gaming the system.

Trudeau released a nearly seven-minute video on YouTube Sunday talking about the recent reduction in permanent residents being admitted to Canada and changes to the temporary foreign worker program. 

Over the next two years, the permanent residency stream is being reduced by about 20 per cent to 365,000 in 2027.

While the Moose Jaw Warriors took the weekend off, general manager Jason Ripplinger was working overtime, making a number of trades.

The team announced yesterday that defenceman Kalem Parker was traded to the Calgary Hitmen for 15-year-old forward Nathan Gardiner, as well as three draft picks. The Warriors announced Friday the acquisition of 18-year-old defenceman Ryder Ellis and two draft picks from the Lethbridge Hurricanes in exchange for 19-year-old defenceman Vojtech Port. The Warriors also added overage defenceman Keaton Dowhaniuk.
