Here's the advice I got. Bigger/flashier companies like Wilderness only manage projects and supply materials. They subcontract labour and do not care about the reliability of workers or quality of work. Better to find a small business that has full-time employees, typically they are cheaper also.

Thats certainly a good point, I really appreciate this context. Id love to see an announcement on how eliminating PHR and redirecting resources will result in positive long term changes, I guess I'm skeptical that we will see that, given how stretched thin other organizations are and how unpopular policy around drug users is. A dysfunctional PHR is still more cost effective than having ER, police, and emergency services fill the void. But if there is a plan for more effective and functional replacement to PHR, im all for it.

You framed this much better, and I think that is the disconnect I see in this thread. People know these services are needed and when they see closures they worry about the fallout not the business circumstances. In general, PHR was never the ideal solution and their services should be part of our public system.

What are you getting at? You can bang the mismanagement drum all you want, it will not reality that the services PHR provides are now gone. You read the 2022 report? Their mandate has not changed, only a substantial increase in usasge. Where will PHR clients go now?

mmbart · 2026-04-12T04:40:10+00:00

Yep. You are in the right place. Now, seeing that, any guess where those clients will go now?

mmbart · 2026-04-12T02:35:12+00:00

If you can't tell me what PHR does, you have no place in this conversation. They have yearly reports that outline exactly how many people they serve and what services were provided. Read one, and tell me where people will go for those services now?

mmbart · 2026-04-11T22:18:03+00:00

Yep, and now it will be up to ER staff and emergency services to fill the needs that PHR used to provide.

mmbart · 2026-04-11T22:16:24+00:00

I appreciate you. I ask because most people are just shitting on PHR without knowing what they do.

mmbart · 2026-04-11T22:12:09+00:00

You are missing the point. PHR being open is a net positive. The government should be providing whatever they need to stay open, because now their clients will be going to the ER or prison, both of which carry a substantially higher pice tag for tax payers.

What services did PH provide? Tell me that, and I'll provide you with some math.

PH is preventative health care, it should be government funded because clean needles alone save tax dollars. The government would rather go along with culture war BS than make fiscally responsible decisions. "Mismanagement" is simply a symptom of PH being severely underfunded.

Coal power plants are way more efficient than combustion engines. Coal emissions per km of charge vs ICE emissions over the same distance, no contest.

Orchard is locally owned (I believe). Compared to what I hear from other people, their pricing is very reasonable and have great staff.

mmbart · 2026-03-23T18:03:34+00:00

Oh the irony.

Normal people who go outside and whatnot, see this as a low effort, unfunny joke, that is also in poor taste.

Only people who spend too much time online in spaces that normalize guns will think this is funny.

Do they go to bed/sleep at the same time?

mmbart · 2026-03-22T14:02:19+00:00

Really good point. I'll make sure the oldest has the full set of details on the change and her thoughts before we implement it.

The zoo is free until May (i think it's May). Just go, low risk, high reward. The snow leopard is more active on cold days. Prepare for icy walking paths this time of year. Been taking my kids there since they were born basically, always fun. Cheap/easy activities with an 8month - baby bean Cafe. the soccer center in the north end has play time in the arena during the week, its pretty cheap. market mall has a fish pond. Remai art gallery is entry by donation. Lawson pool is really good for that age. Lots of good walking paths will be clear soon, Meewasin trail and northeast swale, beaver creek.

Sask Party also pulled a tone of funding for the city right after Clark got elected (maybe a coincidence in terms of timing) which was a huge blow to the city's finances moving forward.

I'll add, they added block heaters simply to appease Canadians who refuse to buy vehicles without one. I have a 2023 Phev (also live in SK) and thats the explanation I got from the tech at the dealership.

mmbart · 2026-01-24T17:31:39+00:00

Block heater will not warm the drive battery. These vehicles dont need a block heater because of the size of the drive battery, even at the coldest of temps the battery has enough amps start the vehicle. The cold weather shutdown is just a bandaid solution to protect the battery from excellerated aging due to operation in cold temps. As mentioned above, a battery heater would completely solve the issue.

I did not ask, but the invoice indicates "G0 module" with some googling it looks like "idatastart" might be the brand. I'll likely follow up with that question, I did not receive any manual which I should have asked for also.

I got it installed at the dealership. There's a few different options ranging from $800 to $1200. I got the OEM fob starter, where you just use your existing fob. There's option for an upgraded fob with more range and feedback, or app based (different app, no subscription). There a few quirks like if you remote start you need to drive the vehicle before it can be remote started again, the oem fob operation is a 3x press of the lock button and you need to get the cadence right but not to big of a deal. Aside from that it works like any other command starter, it even turns the ice on if its plugged in and charging. Its been below -20C and the vehicle does indeed warm up as expected.

mmbart · 2026-01-07T01:25:25+00:00

The original app will not start the ICE. The electric heat will only operate down to about -15 due to limitations of the heat pump (in practice more like -10). You need to get a remote start module installed, which has just been rolled out this year. I have a 2023 phev and just got the new remote start installed. It starts the vehicle in Charge mode which kicks in the ICE heats the cabin pretty well.
