As a prolific social media user, particularly on Twitter, it’s a bit precious for me to write about how it causes societal divisions, but I’m going to do so anyway.

Well, the race is on and it looks like, ah, hmmm, same old, same old. So far, we have six candidates running for Saskatoon’s top job. Incumbent Mayor Charlie Clark, former mayor Don Atchison, former provincial cabinet minister Rob Norris, and three that are new gladiators in the arena, engineer Zubair Sheikh, consultant Cary Tarasoff...

Like it or not, people are living longer nowadays. It used to be shocking to hear of someone turning 100. Now, it’s a fairly reasonable goal for millions of people, based on advances in health, education and fighting disease. And it will become more and more common in the near future, experts say. So, how...
