Saskatchewan rising

In our special focus on Canada’s most red hot (and easiest to draw) province, “Saskatchewan Rising: Dispatches from Canada’s Crucible,” Briarpatch sails a prairie schooner through a city of charlatans, assesses the folly of bargain-basement resource royalty rates, speaks with Naomi Klein about what the Left can and should do in the midst of yet another crisis, and celebrates the work of activists and visionaries building the foundation of a sustainable future.
