So much for that. The Bank of England iscutting fundingfor climate change initiatives championed by Mark Carney, the Bank’s governor from 2013 to 2020. Carney led several sustainability efforts including climate change insurance risks, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) scores and more. According to Bloomberg, inflation and current fiscal challenges means that those projects will no longer get the same priority as the Bank of England dedicates more resources to traditional economic concerns. Net Zero Watch welcomed the shift, saying that it’s long overdue.Its obsession with climate change by Carney and government ministers has for years distracted it from its main responsibilities.

You can't win the battle against the tax man

The soaring cost of living is enough to drive you to drink, but soon you won't be be abke to afford that with a 6.3-per-cent federal excise tax increase on April 1. The tax is tied to the cost of living, making this an impossible battle – cost of living goes up and so does alcohol, further raising the cost of living. Individuals can stop buying liquor, but retailers like liquor stores and dining establishments will also have to increase their prices. You just can’t win.


A good old game of

cowboys and Indians

Where else but in Saskatchewan would hundreds of local folks in Maple Creek jam into an arena to watch cowboys face off against their Cree neighbours in a charity hockey game – the "Battle of the Little Big Puck?" The game is a tradition, starting in 1979.


In the third period, players trade their hockey gear for traditional wear. The Cree players wear feather headdresses, animal hide and face paint while the cowboys play in chaps, cowboy hats, plaid shirts and even spurs. The referees are RCMP officers in red serge. And their mayor is Metis, ensuring neutrality.


Nekaneet Chief Alvin Francis says outsiders may raise an eyebrow at the teams calling themselves "Cowboys" and "Indians," but he believes people who learn about the community come to realize it's about mutual respect, unity and friendship. BUZZ HERE
