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!

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).

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.

Brian Zinchuk: Gopher control and a scholarship took precedence over a half billion dollar wind project.

You read that right. Gophers and a scholarship which only had one applicant, while high priced help for a half billion dollar project weren’t even offered a chair for 3.25 hours.

Don’t worry, folks. I’m doing a speech on Monday also talking about wind output going to zero frequently.

 

Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia

Western Standard;

Saskatchewan’s privacy watchdog has ruled Regina Public Schools (RPS) improperly withheld records related to gender identity and LGBTQ education while responding to a parent’s request, ordering the division to disclose dozens of documents within 30 days.

In a 73-page report, Saskatchewan’s Privacy Commissioner Ronald Kruzeniski found RPS failed to prove it was legally justified in redacting or blocking access to communications about topics like pronoun use, parental consent, and LGBTQ-focused events such as Rainbow Week of Action.

The report comes from a June 2024 request by a parent seeking all records mentioning themselves, their four children, and keywords including “LGBTQ,” “gender,” “parental rights,” and “pronouns” across emails, social media, and educational apps.

The parent also sought details about staff accessing their children’s files.

Lise Merle gets results.

Both Sask Party and NDP are saying the same on steel

Today Pipeline Online is publishing in-depth stories from the NDP and Sask Party on last week’s steel tariffs from President Donald Trump. Both parties produced remarkably similar calls to action. Steel is critical for oil infrastructure and production, especially with regards to pipelines. Most of the major pipelines built in Western Canada saw their pipe come out of Regina, but it’s been some time since that mill has produced any pipeline pipe. And now, steel production itself is under threat of tariffs.

NDP on steel tariffs: Pipelines, rail and power transmission

Sask Party on steel tariffs: ports, pipes and rail

The photos you’ll see in the stories are from an exclusive tour I took of the mill in 2009. It was nearly impossible for me to get that access back then, so I haven’t asked for it since. And really, not much will have changed, other than the fact the pipe-making side of the mill has been dormant for a long time now. I’m hearing that workers on the pipe side are or have scattered to the winds. While I’m not certain of that, if true means institutional knowledge to make that pipe is being lost by the day. It’s a live question if we could bring it back into full production of a quality pipe product in a reasonable time?

Consider this – both the Alberta and Saskatchewan governments have made it policy to seek to double their respective oil production. To do so means we would need to effectively double the entire network of Enbridge, Keystone, Express, and Trans Mountain Pipelines. And that’s only for oil – never mind gas. There’s nowhere else in western Canada that can produce that pipe of that scale. We would need to run EVRAZ 24/7/365 at max capacity to accomplish that, and it would likely take decades. We can’t afford to lose it. Because if we do, we’d probably need to bring in pipe from China or possibly Mexico. Seriously.

Heads up: the guest for the Pipeline Online Podcast on Tuesday at 1 p.m. CST will be former Alberta Energy Minister Sonya Savage. You can watch on X, LinkedIn or Facebook.
