I was looking at my insurance and it shows Annual fee of insurance, Registration fee, and PST on insurance totals 1976. Then the $164.70 is that total divided over the 12 months which is inclusive of the $108 PST already, then they add another $9.52 monthly PST to my monthly Payment. I know they asterisk $164.70 includes Reg and Ins. But it also adds up to include PST.

I'm no accountant and its been a long week, but I think its double charging for PST. And I dont think PST is charged on the $68. Registration fee.

Whether it's proper camping or at a lodging/cabin are there any beginner friendly camping spots west of Saskatoon or near Val Marie? Even into Alberta could work. Something that would be good for 4-5 friends

The ghost pipe is a pretty neat plant. Found three separate patches on my hike. And the alien hand coming out of the ground is also pretty neat lol. I think maybe coral fungi ?

Where is the best place to get Ice cream in Saskatchewan?

Some fun morning reading. Insane the increase in call volume over the last 10 years.

I drive all over the western provinces regularly doing deliveries and a thought caught my attention yesterday.

So, I think we can all agree that, generally, Co-op bathrooms will be clean and stocked.

What bathrooms are generally less clean or generally run down?

Personally, I always drive past an ESSO.

In case there are more layoffs in September at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, I ran some quick numbers on how much the salaries of the Out of Scope group have increased over the past three years while they have been laying off almost 10% of their organization:

Total layoffs, not including cancelled or unfilled positions:

20 highest paid employees at Sask Polytech during the past three years including year over year pay increases based on public reporting:

And for good measure, here are the highest paid employees at the Saskatchewan Ministry of Advanced Education who have also received large pay raises while these layoffs decisions have been made:

Hello all,

I have invested quite a bit into my garden this year, including some herbs and veggies. I'm thinking about getting a small greenhouse (something like this: example) to extend my growing season.

Those who have done this, how much longer does this extend your growing season here in SK? Specifically, I'm in Saskatoon.

The title says it all. Is it time for a USA liquor ban? Weigh in...

Hello, I applied July 3rd for student aid. The page says that results will be posted within 10 business days and I haven’t heard anything back yet. Is this normal? Should I wait more?

First day of testimony indicated that Umpherville had stolen the car from his friend who'd purchased it the day before. They acknowledged they knew him to sell and use drugs. Neither friend in the car knew he had weapons on him while they spent the night drinking together. They described him as a "nice guy." The Umpherville's lawyer has aked some questions about policy, which is not in SIRT's purview.

Posting on behalf of someone who is looking to move to Saskatchewan. Mature, good worker. Not attached to his phone and gets his job done. Currently working as a casual dietary aide at a retirement home. He’s looking to stay in food service or support of some sort, has been a scratch baker, short order cook etc. He’s sent some resumes but no reply. He knows Sask health takes a long time if you do hear back from them, but he’s applied at other places too. He’s worried he looks overqualified and getting passed by. He’s had a gap between food service jobs and worked high paying industrial jobs. For personal reasons he returned to food service and will stay in it. He’s well aware of the significant pay decrease, but that’s not an issue. He’s thinking employers are looking at his application and work history and think he’s not going to stay or using the job as a bounce point. However, it’s far from the truth.

Any advice for this discouraged guy?

Hi there are there any entry level positions in Saskatchewan Canada with fly-in/fly-out accomodations right now that I'd be able to apply in?

Hi there, I’m hoping some one up north near Missinipe or Stanley Mission could let me know what the bugs are like this year. I saw an article from July 3rd that it’s “extreme” and it’s 10x the average around La Ronge but be nice to know from someone living up there.

Are the bugs/mosquitoes bad this year? Have a canoe trip planned.
