On Sept. 20, SaskPower announced they were considering two areas as possible sites for Saskatchewan’s first two nuclear reactors. One is at Lake Diefenbaker, near Elbow, and the other is Estevan, with three nearby reservoirs under consideration.
When it comes to choosing between Estevan and Elbow for future nuclear power development, Estevan would have to try really hard to lose.

Your music countdown impressed upon me the impact of songs on youth. To this day I know the lyrics to most of your song selections in the ’60s (I was a child) and the ’70s (a teenager). I was familiar with some songs in the ’80s, but not so much in the ’90s and ’00s. [my husband] James wrote a song about an older guy who loves to “reminisce about those glory days before Elvis left the building, when Jerry Lee was still killing, Buddy Holly ruled the hit parade.

When asked what the current NDP stance was on nuclear power, Young said, “Technology changes, and times change. While I know people had strong opinions on that, I know people are going to have strong opinions today. While I’m not one of them, I know it’s important that we don’t dismiss people who have concerns and ask questions out of hand. But if the question is, for the Saskatchewan NDP, can SMRs play an important role in our energy future in Saskatchewan? Absolutely, they can.”

The Saskatchewan NDP has cancelled plans to invite federal leader Jagmeet Singh to its convention following what some sources described as a heated debate over whether the federal party is hurting the provincial party’s electoral success.

Well that new leader Whatsername is off to a great start.
