Thor Project

Tisdale’s going to need a new slogan.

The deposit is 60 feet down — and 300 feet in depth.

Is Our Diversities Learning?

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

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

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 @JustBinsOne of the many selfies Chief Farooq texted the police commissioner.
