Reporter questions are ridiculous. I grew up close by & was a Special CST w RCMP in Pierceland. Shifts start at 8am. Getting up & out to the site 1/2 hr min. Stoon to site, at least 5 to 6 hrs. North of Loon Lake roads are terrible, 80km max. And there's freezing rain. Detachment max 4 officers.

You’re going to come in contact with an awful lot of people who are at their absolute breaking point this week. Friends, family, co-workers, teachers, strangers in the grocery store, retail workers. 

While it may be the merriest time of the year for some, it’s the saddest, most stressful, loneliest, most heartbreaking for others. 

We’re all busy, but we’re not too busy to be kind, caring, and patient. Remember the best thing you can give someone this season is love.

Ukraine: US-Russian peace proposal is ‘absurd’ and unacceptable Officials say proposal is aimed at stirring up division and disorientating Kyiv’s allies A new US-Russian peace proposal to end the war in Ukraine has been dismissed as “absurd” and unacceptable by officials in Kyiv amid talks between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a high-ranking US army delegation. They said the proposal reportedly drafted by Kirill Dmitriev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff was a “provocation”, the aim of which was to stir up division and “disorientate” Ukraine’s allies, they added.

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Really? Absolutely ridiculous. Any when I told they their customer service sucked was told they'd hang up on me. And it will take 3 to 5 days for a supervisor to call back. They're my main insurance. I have chronic health issues. At this point, they're looking at losing a customer.

Anyone know what's up with GMS? Can't access my account on updated website thru Google. Cookies are deleted. But they won't provide any IT support, no call back as promised. Now they won't reimburse a paid invoice bc there's no payment method shown. Supposedly new policy but not communicated.

Anyone know someone receiving social assistance or CPPD in Saskatoon who needs a chest of drawers and makeup type table for a bedroom? If so, pls DM me. Free to someone in need. Asking for a friend, so no photos. Not fancy, but solid and clean. Can arrange delivery.

Saskatchewan auditor finds eight independent religious school teachers 'did not graduate high school' Eight teachers at religion-based independent schools do not have high school diplomas, according to the provincial auditor's report.

There were 14 religion-based independent schools registered in Saskatchewan as of January 2025 and “none of these schools employed certified teachers,” states the report.

Israel killed 75 people today—human beings with names, stories, and families. Our people aren’t numbers. Our people are precious; their lives matter, and their deaths aren’t trivial footnotes deemed not newsworthy. Shame on the west for allowing this daily slaughter to continue.

Saskatoon Emergency Rooms are WAY over-capacity. Emergency patients face long waits, and treatment in public waiting room and hallways.

The Sask Party is failing citizens! It is an objective fact.

A series of tweets between Twitter users trying to explain that the College of Physicians and Surgeons govern how doctors practice medicine within Saskatchewan. Nadine Ness (United Grassroots) threatened to sue them re - something to do with her spouse's medical practice and the College answered with a series of posted clap backs about regulations and how a spouse has no say in the matter.

I've heard of Nadine Ness. A giant pain in the ass with a superiority complex. Her purpose is to pull the entire province to the far-Right and to have her evangelical beliefs be law. I have the entire posting from the College if anyone is interested. Remember these posts @prairietara.bsky.social?

I hope she considers suing the owners as well. For vet cost, personal trauma, and loss of companionship. The dogs are the owner's responsibility and his fault this happened. Obviously, it has been an ongoing issue. We need stricter laws for both animal cruelty and owner responsibilities.
