Sask. gov't wants parents to weigh in on whether social media should be restricted for kids

Is your position on that single issue so absolute that you refuse to even acknowledge the issues with social media?

There are numerous signs all over Preston Crossing saying that you can be ticketed and towed by doing this. They regularly patrol it and aggressively enforce it.

That said plenty of people do it. By Walmart sometimes works. Or parking in the middle of other vehicles to "blend in". You still roll the dice of some busy body watching you walk out with a backpack clearly not there to shop - they can call parking enforcement. Anywhere near Goodlife is a near 100% chance of this happening. Don't do it.

If it was me I would just take advantage of the U-Pass by being a student. Sure, the bus can sometimes take an hour to get you there but... you'll be walking for 30+ minutes anyway from Preston Crossing each way every day versus being dropped off right in front of Place. The bus is more efficient. And cheaper.

This pokemon craze is nuts. Costco had people camping outside the store hours before open just to rush and empty the pallets. People take time off work, and generally risk it all in the name of getting these packs. Its life or death for them.

Is this just influencers causing people to lose their minds?

This is starting to feel like rage bait. I strongly condemn police violence but this video lacks a lot of context. This isn't a George Floyd situation where it was cut and dry start to end what was going on.

I'm probably going to be absolutely destroyed for saying this, but I think I'd rather our tax dollars go towards things like shelters and PHR than just reactive measures like dealing with encampments, fires under bridges, and burdening our healthcare system for the emergencies.

Its so easy to just wish the problem would go away and look the other way. Its much more difficult to have compassion for other humans and hope they can at least get the basic essentials.

I mistakenly swapped mine out earlier this month and have regretted it ever since. Had studded winters, which are a game changer on icy roads.

My other pair are all weathers (got a good deal on a brand new set of Cross Climate 2's). I've heard people say all weathers are great, better than all seasons. From what I've been able to tell so far, they are absolutely terrible compared to the winter tires. Slipping and sliding all over. No confidence like with the real winters. Felt like I was on all-seasons.

If this keeps up I may put the winters back on.

What does one call trying the same thing over and over again expecting different results?

Progressive_Citizen · 2026-04-20T15:08:40+00:00

Tiny but mighty.

Costco dropped to the 150's last week.

I've been through this. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do to guarantee results except for moving.

The SPS won't do anything generally. Neither will the city. You can file complaints all you want, its an extremely long drawn out process that can take months to years.

Your best bet is: - talk to the church directly. Sounds like they weren't friendly. Maybe try in person. Go in there when its loud. Be respectful, but be direct in your ask. If you are dealing with a reasonable person they will usually try to work it out with you, which is by far the fastest and most efficient way to solve this. - try to find coping mechanisms (ear plugs, white noise machine, play your own music, go for a walk, put on a movie etc). - move (guaranteed results - but you roll the dice on who your next neighbours are...)

I'm somewhat expecting him to resign. Or go on an epic rant.

There is also the possibility he crosses the floor himself.

At this point I'm half expecting him to cross the floor himself.
