1. Earlier this month, Calgary alt-weekly FFWD did a story about the problems with Calgary's Farmers' Market and how vendors felt ripped off (FFWD). This week, every copy of FFWD in sight of the Calgary Farmers' Market disappeared (FFWD). Nice to know that the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority's philosophy is alive and well.
2. Micheal Ignatieff channels his inner Mackenzie King: an election if necessary (Toronto Star) but not necessarily an election (Impolitical). Why the hesitation? ThureeHundredEight.com explains why. So does my favourite Ottawa Blogger, even if she does work for Macleans. (Inside the Queensway)
3. The Galloping Beaver offers the Stephen Harper solution (The Galloping Beaver) to the problems facing the Snowbirds' Tutor jets. (CBC Saskatchewan)
4. A little piece of Regina history went up in flames Sunday morning when the Grain Show Building was destroyed by fire. (CBC Saskatchewan)
5. Is there a co-relation between Saskatchewan and Alberta's education system sucking at teaching students history (Dominion Institute) and the fact we keep electing Cons? Hmmm...
6. The American media is largely silent on the outcome and the ramifications of Iran's totally-screwed-up presidential election. They're not interested in covering it because of the lack of dead blonde teenagers involved. (Crooks And Liars) Then again, one report says as many as two million took to the streets in Tehran in post-election demonstrations: how many Americans protested the theft of two presidential elections by George Walker Bush? Do what Crooks and Liars do when they want real international news -- screw CNN and the American networks and newspapers -- head for Auntie Beeb's coverage (BBC) and The Guardian (The Guardian).
