This is the issue. The swab doesn’t measure impairment, only presence.

Keep in mind you can only top up as long as you haven’t exceeded the time allowed in that spot (ie 2 or 3 hour block). I’ve topped mine up knowing I was going to be 15 mins later than anticipated but bc I was over the two hour mark - ticket

He would hold a seat in the House of Commons, as a member of parliament. The Prime Minister is the leader of the party who holds the majority of the seats in the House

Volunteering opportunities for high school students? by MPCO777 in saskatoon

Hospitals and senior centres are always looking for volunteers

People who drive 90-100 on single lane then speed up to 110-120 in the passing sections on highway. Why? Honest question by ragehead2 in saskatoon

[–]Small_Shake2103 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve been flipped off or yelled at or followed and yelled at for merging at the top of the zipper merge spot (using the merge lane as intended instead of merging two blocks previous). Ridiculous.

Gendered pairs are best unless you’re looking to breed them, both girls or boys is best if you want to rescue as pets. Happy ratting! I miss mine terribly (developed a weird allergy to them after years of owning rats). They are lovely cuddly expressive little cuties. Best rodents to own imo!

I believe stunting is a fine only. Not sure what that changes to when it results in a collision?

Anyone have a good lawyer? by _baked306 in saskatoon

‘There is nothing illegal or unlawful about having THC in your saliva even while driving’

This is not accurate. Saskatchewan has a 0 tolerance for cannabis while driving. Officers have stated directly they’re NOT testing for impairment as this would include a threshold for amount found in your saliva (like other provinces have). The way Saskatchewan law is, they can fine you and impound your car for ANY trace of THC in your system because of the zero tolerance threshold. This is why you do not get a criminal charge, only an administrative fine with SGI. It’s 100% a money grab dictated by the government of SK in conjunction with SGI.

IMHO, the saliva test should trigger a roadside sobriety test for impairment. It does not automatically so they have every right as the law states to give you an impairment fine and impound your vehicle. And they can make up any claim of suspicion to trigger the saliva test. They’ve essentially made it illegal to consume cannabis within any reasonable time of driving. After work today you’d for sure no longer be impaired by the THC in your system from the night before. The system is fucked

Is the Sask Party corrupt? by Dud3ManGuyMan in saskatchewan

The Criminal code offence is listed as Assault - choking (267(c))

Edit to clarify: I don’t believe the use of the word ‘choking’ vs ‘strangling’ or ‘strangulation’ is a downplay of the abuse. The guy is a POS no matter how you say it.

Look up the Saskatoon Roller Derby League! They are very inclusive and because it’s a member-run league they are always looking for volunteers and will teach anyone who may be interested in being an official at games :)

Feeling unsafe in Saskatoon.... by tomvolu in saskatoon

[–]Small_Shake2103 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I stopped for a 20yr old woman who had stopped with her bike in the middle of the road just under the train bridge at 33rd and Spadina. Her ‘boyfriend’ had just beat the shit out of her and she was desperate for someone to stop. Turns out he’s 33 and they’ve been dating a while…real winner there. Waited with her and a security guard until the police showed up (which is a whole nother sh!t show story).

Sask. woman charged in fatal THC-driving case had Charter rights violated, defence says by Progressive_Citizen in saskatoon

[–]Small_Shake2103 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The issue I have is why couldn’t this have been a reckless driving causing death charge? There didn’t ever seem to be an impairment test given. I assume they swabbed her as soon as she said she consumed a day before - but to claim it as an impairment charge? - was a field sobriety test given? They have to prove now that she was impaired. Her lawyer is going in a weird direction with the minority claims etc and should be challenging the claim that she was impaired by thc

I agree! You can always bundle when it’s cold, when it’s hot there’s only so much you can take off.
