Retiring MLA has insisted he is not in a conflict but commissioner disagreed

Premier Brad Wall has booted Bill Boyd from caucus after the retiring MLA was found to be in a conflict of interest through his involvement in an immigration-irrigation scheme.

NDP asks conflict of interest commissioner to probe Boyd's role in GTH land deal scandal

The provincial NDP has asked Saskatchewan's conflict of interest commissioner to launch an investigation into Bill Boyd's role in the Global Transportation Hub land deal scandal, on the heels of a ruling against Boyd on a different matter.

What Does Salvation Cost? -- Bill Boyd

There is a sermon outline somewhere, or an article, or a tract; I do not remember the format. You may have heard a lesson like this while attending a gospel meeting. What sticks is the title: “The High Cost of a Free Gift.” I recall some of the particulars and repeat them below. Salvation is free. We are “…justified freely by his grace” (Rom. 3:24). “So also is the free gift …more also is the…
