Thoughts?
Got this in the mail today. Inclined to say yes but wanted to see how others were thinking about it. On the one hand I think social media is ruining kids (and everyone's) attention spans and brain chemical regulation, on the other hand I'm assuming one would need to validate their age by showing ID or something in order to use these apps which is a privacy concern. Also how much govt involvement we want in our day to day lives. Personally I only have Reddit and YouTube.

Please explain to me why in Saskatchewan, do we sit back and just let ourselves get steamrolled by the government into building a data centre?

Seriously, something has to be done to revamp this program.
I try to be as patient as possible and understand that the caseworkers are probably being bombarded and yelled at all the time, but I can never get ahold of anybody.
Nobody returns calls or answers emails. What's the solution? Do I have to send a telegram?
Maybe I'll physically walk down to the office. I have great difficulty walking, so I should get there by next Tuesday.
Somebody please fix this program.

cbc.caWhat's Tommy Douglas' legacy in Saskatchewan?
Speaking as someone who doesn't live there, I grew up with a lot of respect for Douglas. As a kid, I watched him voted as the "Greatest Canadian" in 2004, and I firmly believe it was a good choice to this day. Despite his early writings on eugenics, his implementation of universal health care saved countless lives in Canada.
But that's just my own opinion. Given that he was a proud socialist, and became Premier at the head of the CCF, and given how Saskatchewan's been re-electing the Saskatchewan Party for the last twenty years, I'm curious as to how Douglas' legacy holds up in that province.
Apparently Mark Friesen has passed away.

I searched a bit, aside from a couple of other x posts this was all I found. [Rest In Peace Grizzly Patriot: Mark Freisen Was Taken From Us Far Too Soon](https://www.eastonspectator.com/2026/05/15/rest-in-peace-grizzly-patriot-mark-freisen-was-taken-from-us-far-too-soon/)
What should I expect for my SGI 1A Written Test? I’m kinda nervous lol
This may be a long shot, but can anyone tell me what to expect when I go do my written test for my 1A’s?
I tend to overthink stuff and this isn’t just some random test to me — my long-term career goals depend on getting my 1A’s, so I’m definitely feeling the pressure and hoping to pass first try.
For anyone who’s taken it recently — I’m not asking for a cheat sheet, I just want to know how it was like. Were there any parts that caught you off guard or things you wish you studied more? How hard would you rate it?
I know I can try again if I fail, I just want to avoid failing. I’m pretty confident in myself as well may I add; but I just can’t seem to stop overthinking.

ctvnews.caWhy Sask has so many saline lakes?
A lot of high profile saline lakes in Canada seem to be from SK. Is there something about the province geography or geology compared to adjacent provinces to explain this phenomenon?

Just saw the post about Weyburn being the friendliest town in SK.
But I’m more curious about the least friendly town in Saskatchewan, and why.
Car dealership contract
I am based out of Saskatchewan.
So on Saturday, I made the decision to impulsively to sign a car dealership contract, and make a down payment.
I felt a bit rushed on everything, the dealer made me register the new vehicle so I did assuming I’d be walking out of the door with it… but they didn’t allow me to leave with it that day and instead gave me a loaner as said vehicle wasn’t “ready”.
So now, that I have sat and pondered/wondered. I no longer want the vehicle I signed for, but instead I would like a different vehicle from same dealership that does not cost more than current deal.
I am wondering if anyone has had any experience, signing a vehicle contract, NOT stepping foot in said vehicle, nor drove it off lot.
BUT has instead changed vehicles/contract with same dealer?
Is this a possibility at all???
