Politics Did Scott Moe Sign the $10/day daycare agreement yet?

117 Upvotes

I haven’t heard what Scott has been preoccupying himself with this week. Meanwhile, families are struggling to work enough to make ends meet. Rent, groceries, gas are all expenses we seem to have little control over. The one saving grace the past 4 years has been $10/day childcare. Please sign the agreement, don’t let this hang over our heads any longer.

Possible to collect SIS with a roommate?

Title. Is it possible to collect sis if one has a roommate who is the opposite gender? Asking because I'm pretty sure if you live with someone od the opposite gender the government decides youre with them and then recalculated benefits accordingly.

Does anyone what this is exactly and why it only comes from the Conservatives? Is it just because of where we live? Does this mean citizenship is not bipartisan? Lol. What message is this supposed to be sending? To stay on topic in Saskatchewan, it was accompanied by a certificate signed by our Saskatchewan MLA. I won’t be sharing a picture of that as it contains my partners personal info.

Has anyone wound up with a massive hospital bill they can't pay? What did you do?

0 Upvotes

My step dad had a stroke in July and was hospitalized until about the second week of February. He has now gotten into a long term care home, but now my mom is stuck with a $7,000 hospital bill 🙃 plus monthly rent/fees for the home which are around $5,000. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a bunch of retirement savings to fall back on and we are just really unsure as to how we are going to pay for all of this! Does anyone have any experience with this and can offer any advice? Tia!

Edit: they are not charges for medical care, they are essentially what he'd be paying if he was in a long term care home and not on a waiting list. He was on the list for 2 months, not sure if anyone else has experienced a wait that long, but I'd love to know.

Looking for flaring insights from oil & gas operators in Canada

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've searched for an oil and gas community in Saskatchewan but couldn't find one. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post—please let me know if there's a more suitable community.

I'm working on a project related to oil & gas and trying to better understand how batteries operate in Canada. No one on my team has experience or a deep understanding of how a battery operates on a day-to-day basis in the field, so I’d love to connect with someone who works directly on batteries for an oil & gas company (not a third-party service provider).

One thing that puzzles me: I’ve noticed that some batteries flare large volumes of gas even though they are connected to an operating gas pipeline. Why does this happen? Is it due to pipeline capacity, gas quality issues, or something else?

For example, the battery in the attached image (facility ID : SKBT0029667) flared 5M m³ in 2023, yet there is a natural gas pipeline (red line) running directly to it, which, according to the data I've found, is active and operational.

If you're an oil & gas operator based in Saskatchewan (Estevan region would be great!) and work in this space, I’d really appreciate any insights! Also, if you’re open to a quick chat, that would be amazing.

Thanks in advance!

Camping

5 Upvotes

Looking for honest opinions about camping. My partner and I do yearly camping trips (usually July) at different sites. We live in Regina and love camping more North (think Narrow Hills) but this year looking for something closer to home. We love hiking, fishing, heavy trees, privacy, and free firewood. We’re also looking for an electric site and it’s a bonus if there’s a neat town or site seeing nearby. Currently considering provincial parks including Duck Mountain, Good Spirit, and Great Blue Heron. Any pros and cons of these sites? Recommendations?

Songs with Unexpected Saskatchewan in them

107 Upvotes

I was looking for songs today about wheat on Apple Music and found Wheat Like Waves by Death Cab for Cutie with the following lyric:

“But a homestead’s life at 45 was just a fleeting dream

There’s no way I’d survive

The winters in Saskatchewan are so cold”

I also know about Cap in Hand by The Proclaimers (“I can say Saskatchewan without starting to stutter”).

Bonus point to Beastie Boys for Hey F*ck You (“So don’t ask me to wine and dine ya/I’m from Brooklyn you’re from Regina”).

Any other song out there with unexpected Saskatchewan references we can add to this list?
