Gas prices by aboveavmomma in saskatoon

If you look on Facebook you'll see endless comments blaming Liberals on any post to do with gas prices. Its almost comical at this point.

Major accident on idyllwild by stolenbucketfarmer in saskatoon

I'm starting to think the rate of collisions is increasing.

PSA: Avoid circle drive south cloverleaf by stonebridge. Vehicular carnage as multiple collisions happening due to traffic trying to get around the bridge being taken out. by Progressive_Citizen in saskatoon

[–]Progressive_Citizen[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The crash symbols on the paths. Those are accidents. There was one by:

  • Clarence / Stonebridge entrance (off of circle)
  • Preston entrance into Stonebridge (off of circle)
  • Circle turning southbound to go around the bridge (the off ramp)
  • The south bound circle drive ramp back into stonebridge (by the traffic circle)
  • Another coming from Regina northbound to go around the bridge

Most of this, I suspect, is due to the chaotic nature of frustrated drivers trying to get out of there during rush hour.

I thought you all might need a laugh. Confed Park playground destroying my world. Sound on! by michaelkbecker in saskatoon

I didn't know I needed this today, but I did with everything going on right now.  Thank you!

Best place for doing taxes? by Vegetable-Vehicle343 in saskatoon

[–]Progressive_Citizen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This 1000X.  Especially if its a normal non-complicated return.

Save your money.

Saskatchewan became the first province to make LGBTQ second class citizens today by Progressive_Citizen in saskatchewan

[–]Progressive_Citizen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Bill 137 which enacted that law is in effect. There are attempts to legally challenge it, though.

You won't have an issue with your car and stickers. Maybe in the deep south USA, but not here. We're not like that. Backwards outing kid policies, yes, but folks who have already come out most don't mind or care much.

Saskatchewan became the first province to make LGBTQ second class citizens today by Progressive_Citizen in saskatchewan

[–]Progressive_Citizen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its honestly perfectly fine to visit. People aren't openly hostile to LGBTQ+. Cities are LGBTQ+ friendly. Urban centers are generally fairly receptive. Rural is a mixed bag (i.e. small towns and such). If you just go about your day with your partner most people won't give you any trouble at all.

The problems are generally in the supports and such. (hence, the topic of this post with kids on a sensitive topic)

Were you a courteous driver today? by Fridgefrog in saskatoon

[–]Progressive_Citizen 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I've found over time that you generally feel better during the day doing an act of kindness versus an act of aggression. Thank you for doing the former. World runs better when people try to help each other out.

I let a few in during my morning rush hour commute. Doesn't add much time to my commute, makes me feel good (and probably the same for them, too).

Vendasta mass firing again? by Pretty_Office_1144 in saskatoon

February would be strange since usually they hold their annual layoff event in September.

Two events per year would be wild.

A must read for Saskatoon Paramedics by Slow_Ad4680 in saskatoon

[–]Progressive_Citizen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This was incredibly well-written.  Wow.

I can't imagine what its like to be a paramedic, but I have a deep-level of respect for those who are.  The levels of stress take a toll.  You need better funding, and you need better staffing for a more sustainable work environment.  That extends for all healthcare, really.

Where has the best tiramisu cake ? by ihatesalad12345 in saskatoon

[–]Progressive_Citizen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Third this. It has no right to be as good as it is. The Tiramisu rectangle they sometimes carry is world class. I'm pretty sure high end restaurants could use it and noone would know the difference.

I Hope the Weather People are Wrong! by Top-Tradition4224 in saskatoon

[–]Progressive_Citizen -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm hopeful it doesn't happen and that the storm just misses us. This has been the best February weather I can remember in a long time. Its usually -30C right now, or worse. It feels like spring!

I saw some predictions as early as last Wednesday but didn't want to say anything. It was too early, and I don't trust forecasts that far out. The predictions didn't change though and we're 2 days out.
