A stubble jumper is a prairie farmer. I'm from Saskatchewan and my dad was a farmer, so the name is apt. "Redneck" needs no explanation. It's anyone who disagrees with a lunatic leftie. My blog is mostly about the Middle East but other issues also catch my eye and get me going. I monitor comments to keep out trolls and lunatic lefties. Anyone who is zealously anti-American and anti-democracy in the Middle East is NOT welcome.

Damned arrogant bureaucrats! Hey, Saskatoon City Council, a huge number of the taxpaying people for whom you work, wish to use that public property for recreating. Who the hell are you to treat them like children?!
Keep the beach clean, lots of plastic trash cans, put up some porta-potties and some "Swim at Your Own Risk" signs. At that point, you've done your job, now go find some other Saskatoon business to take care of. That's what the people elected you to do and that why they pay your salaries.
Just about every year someone tries to end their life by jumping off one of the several bridges spanning the river in Saskatoon.
The river is fairly shallow, but where the channel is, it is also fairly swift, so people do get swept away.
There's also a weir over which the water flows and people have been caught in the turbulence at the bottom where the water flows over and consequently drowned.
But there's also some spectacular views of the city from atop the south-east bank, which is fairly high, not to mention some lovely architecture (stately old houses, the university campus, the Bessborough Hotel and old churches) built along its banks.
It's a very pretty city, despite it's decidedly left of centre politics. (Hey, it's a university town. What do you expect?)
