Watch and wonder.

Previous, in case you missed it yesterday.
Update: Following our story on White City Councillor Shahnaz Sultana, the mayor and council voted to temporarily relieve Sultana of all her additional committee and representative duties. She will still be able to attend council meetings and vote as there are no provisions in the municipal act for impeachment or recall of a councillor.

Saskatchewan commits to nuclear power generation: The full press conference video

Radioactive youmightbeinsaskatchewan 20 Comments

This is one of the most significant announcements in years.

This plan, if followed, will dramatically reshape Saskatchewan. Nuclear may not be cheap or easy, but it is also transformative in many ways. And as many participants and executives during the conference noted these power stations could last up to 100 years, this really is a case of planting trees so one’s grandchildren can play in the shade.

That plan, in its entirety, is reproduced here on Pipeline Online.

That’s just a part of the in-depth coverage of the conference’s events provided by Pipeline Online. Check out, for instance, the opening question Pipeline Online posed during the scrum portion, and then look at the question asked by other media at 44:51, when another reporter asked, “Can you clarify what you mean of nuclear power sources? Does that mean a nuclear power plant in Saskatchewan?”

“Yes, that’s what we’re talking about here,” Harrison responded.

Remember, she was standing there for 45 minutes, listening to over half an hour of press conference and then 10 minutes of questions to then ask if all this meant a nuclear power plant in Saskatchewan?

You might notice me in the middle of the pack, doing a face-palm.

Regina’s Chief of Police Fired

youmightbeinsaskatchewan 7 Comments

I have no information, but there’s more from Regina’s leading news source on Facebook.

Over the past six months the Public Complaints Comission investigated an allegation of the major discipline offence of discreditable conduct, and recommended it be concluded as substantiated. The investigation and evidence showed that Chief Sheikh engaged in inappropriate private communications with a police board member over several months that demonstrated a significant and continuing lapse in professional judgement and conduct inconsistent with RPS core values. Key evidence included ongoing communications between the chief and board member that was kept from other board members and the police service. The chief and board member engaged in an exchange of text messages during and pertaining to an in-camera discussion, from which the chief had been excused, while the board discussed amendments to his contract. Chief Sheikh suggested to the board member that text messages between them be deleted as discovery of their communications became at risk.

No severance. Hmm.

Update from @JustBins – One of the many selfies Chief Farooq texted the police commissioner.

Heads Up, Saskies

If you receive an email purportedly from the SaskParty with a survey invitation, be aware that it links to a fake SaskTel login page. (https://saskmailktel.netlify.app/)

From Grok:

– The page claims to be a “SaskTel Email” login portal with a title like “Login – Webmail 7.0” and a welcome message: “This is where you can log in and use your SaskTel email account.”
– However, it lacks any actual login form, interactive elements, or security features (e.g., HTTPS certificate from SaskTel, official logos, or contact details). This incomplete or “stub” page is a red flag—phishers often use placeholders like this to test or lure users before adding malicious forms that steal credentials.
– No redirects, urgent warnings, or grammar issues were immediately visible, but the absence of functionality combined with the fake domain suggests it’s a setup for credential harvesting.

It’s fake, delete it.

Finally, a raid on the weirdo cult in Richmound, SK: Officers seized 4 replica firearms, no charges laid as of Wednesday afternoon

addendum: Reading comments, it seems no one here knows this story, which is normal because I haven’t posted about it.

These kooks moved into a small village and have been a local scourge ever since. (like allegations of pumping their sewage onto the village’s park and ball diamonds)

And even more weirdly, the arrests are now world news.

Reader Steve Smith sent along a link to photos he took this summer while on a trip through our fair province.

Except for the burrowing owls, the birds are from Frank Lake in Alberta – an annual stop of ours. I was amazed at the giant prairie agricultural engine that was producing like crazy. We really liked the small ranching/farming towns like Consul, Ceylon, Cadillac, East End, Val Marie, Carlyle, Oxbow, Shaunavon. Rosetown etc. My only previous experience of Saskatchewan was Prince Albert – forestry project.

And they’re fabulous. What talented readers we have. Enjoy!

More:

I reported to RCMP and my RSO just last week a group of these guys at my own range.

– shooting AK-47’s
– using a banned shotgun (banned on this range for damage they cause)
– using over capacity mags (counted multiple 30 round mags fired)
– transporting firearms while loaded
– taking pictures of my SUV as I left the range.
– one of the 5 had a membership. (only one guest is allowed per card carrier)

“Two” have been charged. TWO. (Not that it matters).

The Part I Like Best

About drug decriminalization is the way it reduces stigma and fear of criminal prosecution, which allows our most vulnerable to reach out for help.

Staff at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary in Prince Albert have once again caught packages of drugs being brought into the federal institution.

On Thursday, July 17, packages of methamphetamine that hold an institutional value of just over $150,000 were found and seized.

The police have been notified and the institution is investigating.

The seizure comes at the heels of another seizure two weeks ago. In that case, almost $200,000 in meth, hash and MDMA were seized.
