Back to Batoche Wraps Up for Another Year
With an estimated 40,000+ people coming through the gates of the Back to Batoche celebration again, the lights turned off on Sunday for another year. The Opening Ceremonies were held on Friday, July 18, with the Grand Entry including the Métis Nation-Saskatchewan elected officials, veterans, dignitaries, representatives of the RCMP, city police forces and the Saskatchewan Marshalls Service, the Indian Community of Saskatoon, and municipal leaders from around the province. Guests to Back to Batoche came from almost all provinces and territories, and internationally from California, South Dakota, Sweden, Denmark, and the United Kingdom. Dignitaries on stage for the Opening Ceremonies included MN-S President Glen McCallum and his wife Verna, Lieutenant Governor Bernadette McIntyre and her husband, Rich, Premier Scott Moe, Elder Norman Fleury, Local #51 President Victor Guillet, and the 2025 Mr. and Mrs. Batoche, Leonard and Leone Neville. Jason McKay once again served as Master of Ceremonies with the assistance of Nolan Malboeuf. Elder Norman Fleury asked a blessing for all those gathered at Batoche to celebrate the Métis culture, heritage, and resiliency. In President Glen McCallum's greeting, he mentioned that a flag had been carried in during the Grand Entry for 'our foreign families', as he phrased it, noting later that the 'Métis footprint is large.' Too many times, he said, it gets forgotten that there is a relationship and closeness between the Métis, non-Indigenous, and First Nations brothers and sisters. 'Each and every one of us,' he stated, 'are all one. It may not look like that a lot of the time, but we are one. It is up to us to be able to practice, to come together to complement each other, and to move forward in a good way.' Livestreamed on , people could watch from wherever they were and still take in many of the performances as the livestream relayed some main stage activities and some taking place on the outdoor stage. Another new addition at Batoche was 106.1 Resistance Radio! Broadcasting live on the festival grounds every day, the programming featured everything from previews of the day's activities and Elders' stories to in-depth conversations with some colourful Métis characters. A new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed with Parks Canada at the opening ceremonies, which will see the addition of 50 head of bison on Batoche land before the end of the year. In 2022, Parks Canada transferred 690 hectares of Batoche West land to MN–S. Later that same year, a bison relocation agreement was signed, and in 2023, a further agreement between the two partners resulted in the successful return of 25 young bison to the grounds at Batoche. The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, said, 'Batoche National Historic Site is a powerful symbol of Métis heritage, and we're honoured to celebrate it each year at the Back to Batoche Festival, where we can come together and recognize what makes us strong. This festival is a special moment to deepen our partnership and reaffirm the Government of Canada's commitment to Indigenous stewardship and reconciliation — honouring the past and empowering the future of the Métis Nation.' In witnessing the signing of the new MOU, MN-S Minister Darcy Lepowick acknowledged the strength that partnerships such as this bring to the Nation. 'In the last eight years alone, we have made incredible inroads with Saskatchewan, Canada, industry, and institutions. We have done that through our ability to demonstrate trust, transparency, and tolerance. With our partners at Parks, we repatriated our Batoche land, re-populated it with young bison, and continue to grow the herd; some of them will eventually reclaim their home at Lebret.' ERIII Regional Director Marg Friesen said, 'When our 3-year bison farm project at Lebret is complete, it will not only bring bison back to Métis land, but eventually provide food sovereignty for the Region, stimulate farmland stewardship, and create employment opportunities for citizens in the area. This Lebret Bison Farm is a true example of the MN–S reaching back to its Métis identity, culture, and values that will be of value to our citizens and draw tourism activity in and around Lebret.' The year 2025 marks a significant election year for the Provincial Métis Youth Council (PMYC) and signifies the fourth year of youth representation at the governmental level. The official election period for the PMYC commenced on Saturday, July 19, with the nomination period concluding on July 24. Métis citizens aged 16 to 26 are eligible to run for a seat on the PMYC, with the presidential position requiring candidates to be at least 18 years of age. The PMYC is evolving to include a full-time President in a paid role, alongside two representatives from each of the twelve Métis Nation–Saskatchewan regions, who will serve in a volunteer capacity. The successful candidates will be appointed for a four-year term. Candidate packages can be found at . President Autumn Laing-LaRose had some words of encouragement for those considering participating, 'We are making history in our province with the first ever full Provincial Métis Youth Council election, and I want young people to know they have what it takes to be a leader on our Council and in our Nation. Involving youth in every step, our government will ensure the sustainability of our Nation for generations to come and helps give us a sense of pride in who we are as Métis people.' PMYC voting takes place online beginning August 5 at 2 pm and ending at 8 pm, Saturday, August 9. All PMYC election details can be found at . Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

FCC approves Paramount-Skydance merger following Trump settlement, Colbert cancellation
The FCC announced it has approved the $8 billion merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media, putting an end to the yearlong high-stakes saga. "Americans no longer trust the legacy national news media to report fully, accurately, and fairly. It is time for a change. That is why I welcome Skydance's commitment to make significant changes at the once storied CBS broadcast network," FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said in a statement Thursday. "In particular, Skydance has made written commitments to ensure that the new company's programming embodies a diversity of viewpoints from across the political and ideological spectrum. Skydance will also adopt measures that can root out the bias that has undermined trust in the national news media." "These commitments, if implemented, would enable CBS to operate in the public interest and focus on fair, unbiased, and fact-based coverage. Doing so would begin the process of earning back Americans' trust. Today's decision also marks another step forward in the FCC's efforts to eliminate invidious forms of DEI discrimination. And Skydance's commitment to enhancing local news and reporting—coverage valued by the public—will also inure to the benefit of the American people," Carr continued. The merger comes just days after Paramount settled President Donald Trump's lawsuit for multi-million dollars and its network CBS canceled "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." The newly formed Paramount Skydance Corp. is led by CEO David Ellison, the son of billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, and former NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell, who will serve as president. Paramount's controlling shareholder Shari Redstone, who controlled more than three-quarters of Paramount's Class A voting shares, will exit the company. Industry insiders believe Ellison, who was spotted sitting with President Donald Trump at UFC event in April, will aim to eliminate the perceived liberal slant at CBS News. Redstone was Paramount's controlling shareholder through National Amusements Inc., the company she took control of in 2016 when her media mogul father, Sumner Redstone, was deemed too incapacitated to run the company. He died in 2020. The merger comes after years of interest from various potential bidders. When it was first announced last year, Paramount said the Skydance Investor Group would pay $2.4 billion for National Amusements Inc. The 2024 announcement also said the Ellison family and a RedBird Capital Partners-led group would invest a maximum of $6 billion in cash or shares to non-NAI stockholders and in "additional capital to paydown debt and re-capitalize the balance sheet" of the new company. Redstone is set for a significant windfall as a result of the deal with Ellison. Bloomberg reported last year that she would receive $180 million in severance on top of the roughly $350 million she would pocket from the merger. Before the merger became official, Paramount and CBS agreed to settle President Trump's "election interference" lawsuit" in July for a sum that could reach north of $30 million, including $16 million upfront. A source familiar with Paramount's Redstone-era leadership told Fox News Digital that only the initial $16 million was sanctioned by the official mediator and they had no knowledge of any deal Trump made with incoming ownership. However, the remaining allocation will be paid by incoming ownership. Redstone, who recused herself from discussions related to the Trump's "election interference" lawsuit in February, wasn't thrilled with being tied up in litigation with the sitting president and signed off on a settlement. It is widely believed that she wanted to settle in hopes of preventing potential retribution by Trump's FCC, which had the authority to halt the merger with Skydance. A source familiar with Paramount's Redstone-era leadership told Fox News Digital that only the initial $16 million was sanctioned by the official mediator and they had no knowledge of any deal Trump made with incoming ownership. Longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft called the settlement a "shakedown," Comedy Central's Jon Stewart criticized the pact on Paramount's airwaves, CNN's Brian Stetler called it a "disturbing development" and current CBS News staffers were in disbelief. "This settlement is a cowardly capitulation by the corporate leaders of Paramount, and a fundamental betrayal of '60 Minutes' and CBS News," veteran "60 Minutes" producer Rome Hartman told Fox News Digital at the time. Ellison and Shell are tasked with enhancing Paramount and CBS brands and have said the newly formed company will aim to be a creative-driven destination for storytellers. This is a developing story, more to come…

And you (and non-Canadians alike) will love this: Rich Girl Summer, the latest audiobook by author Lily Chu, available on Audible, that's set in Mariposa, a fictional lakeside region inspired by Lake Muskoka, just a couple hours outside of Toronto. The audiobook has a bit of everything: intrigue, secrets, deception, and ~romance~. The novel follows Valerie Peng, who poses as a billionaire's long-lost daughter to help uncover family — wait for it — falls for his right-hand man, Nico.
