LaRonge: I had always associated the arctic grouse with the Northwest Territories or Yukon but it seems they also like Saskatchewan. These guys were on Lac LaRonge enjoying their winter vacation in the South.

Saskatoon: It seems like the Crawfords are settling in sorting out the subcultures from Foam Lake, Wynyard and many parts of northeastern Saskatchewan who now make their home in Saskatoon. But Gerald works in an ice condition and fishing report to keep us up to date on things at the park.

Regina: Matthew takes us along with him as he drives down the Lewvan or what we all still call Pasqua Street in Regina. The pictures tell us about the city and the character of its cityscape.

Victoria B.C.: Canada has been condemned at the Bali conference for leading the United States side of things in washing out meaningful climate targets. Our Prime Minister reflects his Alberta and pro-American stance to the shame of his country.
