Information Services Corp. to be sold, netting Sask. government $277M

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/sask-isc-sale-plenary-americas-9.7205149

Information Services Corporation (ISC), commonly known as "Sask Land Titles," is being sold off to an American private corporation for $1.2 billion by the Scott Moe government.

ISC is the government land titles, corporate registry, debt, and Court Judgment Registry for all people, businesses, and farms in Saskatchewan. It holds information like business names & numbers, addresses and phone numbers, legal land descriptions of all houses, apartments, and farmland, and records of debts on major pieces of farm and construction equipment.

ISC / Land Titles was first partially privatized (sold off) under Brad Wall in 2013 with the Sask government keeping 30% of the shares. Now it is receiving $277 million, while the other 70% of the $1.2 billion sale price will go to other Canadian and foreign shareholders. Another brilliant business deal from your Sask Party government.

Plenary Americas LP, a US investment firm will acquire ISC for the $1.2 billion purchase price. That means Plenary Americas LP will own Saskatchewan information regarding land titles, debts, and court judgments.

Fees are charged on every transaction that ISC performs, such as opening a numbered business corporation, changing the name of a land title on the sale of a piece of property, and registering a court judgment.

Now those fees might go up -- way up.

More importantly, how will the private information of Saskatchewan's families and other digital information be used by Plenary Americas LP? The Sask Party sold off control, so our government essentially sold off its power to protect the private and personal information of Saskatchewan people.

Do you think it was a good idea for the Sask Party to privatize and sell off ISC?

Do you support the Sask Party government in selling off your private data to Plenary Americas LP?

Wondering what golf ranges aren’t on mats right now, I know holiday is always. Is silverwood or willows? Any other open to public?

Volunteer Opportunities

Can anyone recommend a specific volunteer opportunity in the city that they personally know of? I’m not looking for recommendations on where to search for volunteer opportunities, as I’ve tried that. I haven’t had luck with getting responses from the places I’ve reached out to so far.

It must be an opportunity during weekday evenings or weekends and in-person. I like working with children and am interested in mental health. I would prefer something that is more regular than an individual event.

Fence dispute

Typical city fence fight. My neighbor got the fence built 3.5 years ago around the time I moved in. (New build) I agreed to pay my half. The time came I sent a etranfer to who she told me to (the company’s guys personal email, I thought was odd but did as I was asked) she came back saying I didn’t pay, I showed her the confirmation, they said didn’t get it blah blah. Then she came at me telling me to pay the full price of the entire fence and I told her to get lost.

Flash forward to yesterday, I am finishing my side of the fence just enclosing my yard now that I have built garage. My neighbor came out screaming at the contractors, taking pictures of them/licence plates, threatening to call the cops if they drilled into the SHARED fence post to create my gate.

I called her and their is no reasoning with her, despite showing her the confirmation she said she had to pay the whole price

Basically can she do this if the fence post is on the property line? It’s it legally half mine?
The contractor is worried obviously, doesn’t want to piss anyone off. Can I drill into the fence post to make my gate or do I have to dig another hole and make my gate smaller and increased cost?

I really didn’t see the issue but in hindsight should have checked before giving the contractor the ok.

Housing Help!

I am moving to Saskatoon for the Physiotherapy program and am looking to live on my own. My budget is $2400/month.

is it better to be close to campus in a worse unit, or further from campus in a nicer place/closer to gyms and grocery stores. I will have a car... just not sure if I'll get a parking pass via lottery....
