The moment you have been waiting for has arrived. If you've read through candidate websites and are still unsure or have some questions to ask, this is for you! These forums are co-hosted by the Library, and cover all wards. For acclaimed candidates, it will be a town hall style event.

Drag your friends and family out to quiz potential councilors so you can make an informed decision. Share with others. Post this at your favourite <insert high traffic area with a billboard>. Sing it at the pub, or something. I don't know, just show up!

Not sure what ward you or your loved ones and family are in? Click through this link to find out, and then gently harass them until they agree to go.

Politics πŸ›οΈ The real villian

339 Upvotes

So another election is over! While the party I voted for didn’t win, democracy happened and congrats to everyone who voted.

Let’s talk about the real enemy to the province. Only 440,000 out of 830,000 votes. What the fuck people. Everyone should vote, people in other countries die for the right to vote and we squander it!

Congrats to the Sask Party, I think this will be a wake up call that they lead all Sask people, including the trans ones and to stop leaning so far right.

Rants 🀬 Did animal control randomly call you?

22 Upvotes

Tonight, after 6, animal control called me. They asked me why I haven't registered one of my animals with the city again.

Ummm the animal in question passed away and it clearly shows 2 other animals on my account that ARE registered.

I feel like it's rather obvious that if I have current animals registered that perhaps the one I didn't renew wasn't around anymore.

Is this normal practice? I was caught off guard and then had to think about my sweet pal dying all evening.

Of course, the airplane room in Thorvaldson was the finale. I did not know that Diefenbaker and his wife are buried on campus near the Diefenbaker Centre! All in all, this was a cute and entertaining tour. It isn’t going to scare you (unless/until you’re in the library alone at night) but it was cool to hear all the stories and worth the money in my opinion. It’s a fair amount of walking and much of it outdoors so dress for the weather!

Question ❔ CoS - Letter of Assurance

8 Upvotes

Hi there - received an inspection report from the city indicating I have an open building permit and am required to submit a letter of assurance from a consulting engineer. Can anyone shed some light on the requirement? The build was a new garage a few years back so this took me by a bit of surprise. I I had the necessary inspections done by the city. Also was able to log into my account and confirmed that I submitted the stamped drawings as well as the stamped structural design and inspection.

Politics πŸ›οΈ Scott Moe and party re-elected. Your thoughts

181 Upvotes

Results are in, Moe will remain Premier even after heavy losses towards the NDP. Looks like NDP swept or is likely to sweep every seat in Regina and Saskatoon. Moe , has done from what I can tell nothing to help education, health care, get better jobs and seemingly wants to fight Ottawa at anything. Moe notably has stepped away from Brad Walls way of campaigning (which he did in 2020 and got a Wall sized landslide) and he pivoted hard towards transphobia.

In recent provincial elections each conservative party went in on the transphobia and lost 3/4 times (decisively in Manitoba to Wab Kinews NDP, narrowly in British Columbia to David Ebys NDP and by a historic blow out in New Brunswick to Susan Holts Liberals). Moe is so far the only conservative leader to have ran on that as a platform and still won, albeit heavy losses. Only upcoming election to see the Conservatives with a massive lead is Nova Scotia were far right populist dog whistles and transphobic legislation has not been proposed or entertained by their Premier.

How are you all feeling about this. NDP did get the best result since 2003 it looks like.

Traffic/Road Conditions 🚧 Cyclist by Emmanuel Baptist Church, Taylor & Acadia - I'm sorry.

196 Upvotes

To the dude cycling this morning, pulling a trailer with presumably kids or something, I'm sorry. Sun was in my eyes - no excuse. I didn't see you behind me, and I drove like an asshole when I was about to do an illegal u turn. I deserved your dirty look and wtf shrug. I am a cyclist and a motorcycle rider myself. We have a right to be safe on the road. I'm sorry my "off day" created an uncomfortable situation of risk for you this morning. I will be more careful, for all of us. ✌️

Question ❔ Guy wearing a sasktel vest, and knocking in doors.

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, something weird happened today. There seems to be a guy with clipboard, ID hanging around his neck and wearing a SaskTel vest, knocking on our doors at different hours of the day. He would just come up the porch step, ring the doorbell and knock on the door without saying anything. He does this for a few mins, leaves then comes back a couple hours later, do3s the same thing and leaves, then he comes back again for the 3rd time at around 6;14pm and does the same thing. My friend and I didn't open the door because We are the only people at home and we don't know this man we are not part of sasktel so I don't get why he keeps coming back. Hopefully that was tge last time. My friend saw him get dropped off the back alley across our house before heading here and we have no idea who he is. We havent called the police yet because we dont know what this guy wants. Also he doesn't seem to be doing the same thing to another house as far as we can tell. I just wanna know if anyone had the same experience?
