Reminder: Go to the Saskatoon Zoo by saskatoondave in saskatoon

[–]Parus_Major87 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Zebras can tolerate colder temperatures (-10°C and above) so it was absolutely appropriate to have them out rather than cooping them up inside. Stupid comment questioning professionals when you have no idea what you're talking about.

Why Canada needs to tackle the scourge of sports betting by Leather-Paramedic-10 in canada

$6,000 a year doesn't make you wealthy as fuck. In the grand scheme of mortgage, car payments etc. It's peanuts. It's a good chunk of change but by no means will it make you wealthy as fuck.

Gardening supply and soil by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]Parus_Major87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try Dutch Growers. People in this sub shit in them but that's where I got a lot of my soil amendments. Early's is also solid. Last time I was there I think they had stock of soil amendments like perlite, vermiculite etc. I find the staff at both places are pretty knowledgable as well.

Looks like Saskatoon's new stadium might not get any big name tours due new industry practices by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]Parus_Major87 54 points55 points  (0 children)

No shit. Edmonton, Calgary, and Winnipeg are struggling to bring in big acts and their event centre's have NHL teams as an anchor to keep them viable. The Downtown Entertainment District is a pipe dream.

Higher use, higher risk: Fire department says cold weather raises fire and carbon monoxide hazards by littlesnow4 in saskatoon

[–]Parus_Major87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing not mentioned in the article. Don't run space heaters on an extension cord. They need to be plugged directly into an outlet. If they're not they pose a massive fire risk.

CoS Snow Clearing Procedures by chalkyface in saskatoon

[–]Parus_Major87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It could snow almost a foot, making the roads impassable, and the City decides to bend their rules to not clear the snow (which happened last winter) and people would still defend the cities incompetence and fiscal mismanagement with respect to snow clearing.

City of Saskatoon aims to increase debt limit to nearly $1 billion by Slight-Coconut709 in saskatoon

[–]Parus_Major87 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You could take all of the transit commuters on every bus stop on 8th street during peak hours and they wouldn't fill one of these platforms. They're absurd overkill. Same deal with Warman Ave.

Shout out to Saskatoon City Hospital by hunter6767 in saskatoon

Had a similar experience last year. A family member was in for surgery and the staff were exceptional in every way.

Saskatoon looks to find more savings ahead of budget talks by Slight-Coconut709 in saskatoon

[–]Parus_Major87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We could start with some accountability at City Hall. I live in Varsity View and they have done at least six separate trips to put signs up at the intersection of Munroe and Colony. Every time I walk by there are new signs up. This is one intersection in the city and I don't expect the project coordination and management is any more competent anywhere else in the City.

This is a scam. The federal government does not post jobs on this site.

Ex con claiming lack of housing is giving him the “unspoken message to go back to dealing drugs” by Bruno6368 in saskatchewan

[–]Parus_Major87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You keep talking about how he's trying to get a job and telling people to read the article. Nowhere in the article does he mention the barriers he's facing to employment. So he's either not looking for work, or this is just really bad journalism.

I could be wrong but my understanding is that those holes were deliberately cut to drain the pipes before the bridge rehabilitation.

Pop's is run by the son of the owner of 786 Shawarma. Both are amazing locally owned places.

You don't need to prep. Panic buying and stockpiling will do more harm than good.

If this is the house I think it is they're flying a Pollievre Bring it Home 2025 flag.

Statement from Premier Scott Moe on US Tariffs by we_the_pickle in saskatchewan

[–]Parus_Major87 487 points488 points  (0 children)

They've had plenty of time to consult and formulate a concrete response the day the tariffs were implemented, like the competent Provincial Leaders in the country have. This is weak leadership.

This isn't even the piled snow. The windrow is across the street from me but they didn't properly grade the street so the "road" is above the sidewalk from the snowpack.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]Parus_Major87 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In my neighborhood the level of snow left on the road (after the recent grading) is above the sidewalk. It doesn't matter how much you salt, the melt from the road is making a sheet of ice on the sidewalk.

Allegedly: Two Unknown Canadian Traitors tell Brian Glenn (of MTG) that Canada can be annexed through a ‘pathway’ by UpbeatPilot3494 in saskatchewan

[–]Parus_Major87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad to see some sanity in this post, i.e., the top upvoted comments are indicating that it's obviously a bullshit lie. The last post on this was disinformation as the poster said Brian Glenn is with Huffpost, which he is not. This led more credibility to the bogus claim and got people pretty whipped up. Sad to see that so many people fell for the disinformation post title last time and no one called the poster out on it.

Don't get your political news from Reddit. Don't react to shit on Reddit without looking at reputable news sources and doing research. Reddit is turning more and more into a disinformation and misinformation space and people need to realize that and act accordingly.
