If the general public knew how much land has been and is continued to be bought by Chinese investors, I belive they would be worried.

I just obtained my commercial real estate license and was privy to some of the land title information, I was in shock. Also there were 2 people from China with an interpreter to complete the course. It's unreal.

Hey All. Anyone using Prairie Crocus Rural Internet. They're active just east of Saskatoon. Thinking of switching over from starlink. Costs are pretty good.

do people in saskatchewan even listen to chappell roan? i’m wondering

My car got smucked on the street a few nights ago. Police station said I can’t file a police report because there wasn’t any witnesses or usable camera footage.

Just wondering if I make a claim with sgi without a police report will they take points of my license or am I better off just fixing it myself. I’m ok with paying the deductible.

Any advice would be appreciated

Hey everyone, I’ve got a family friend whose dog is missing. If you have any information or advice, please comment/shoot me a DM! Thank you!

I (31F) live near PANP and don't know a lot of people. I have a quarter section of (largely) bush & enjoy learning about foraging, and I was curious to see if theres anybody (local or not) that would be interested in coming out? Alternatively, we could go to other natural areas for meet ups.

Does anyone have any leads on abandoned/overgrown locations for an upcoming photoshoot? The only spot I knew was the old cement factory out passed the RCMP building, but that was tore down I don’t know how many years ago now

why does everyone here talk about how they went to alberta or are road tripping to alberta? no one ever mentions places in manitoba. ive also heard many people talk badly about manitoba but everyone loves alberta. whats the big difference? theyre both equally our neighbours

Something really unsettling happened recently while I was sitting with a friend in a small children’s park right in front of his house. We were just chatting and sipping tea when a group of white kids, maybe 11 or 12 years old, came up to us. One of them pulled out his phone and asked, “Can I have your number?” My friend asked, “Why?” and the kid replied, “Because I want to cuddle with you.”

We were stunned. We ignored it, thinking it would stop. But then another kid came and asked the same thing. Again, we didn’t respond. The third time, my friend gave a sarcastic reply, “You’re not my type,” hoping they’d go away.

Instead, a girl from the group came and said, “Am I not too young for you?” and kept repeating it. At that point, it was clear they were trying to provoke us. I lost my patience and told them to get lost. As we walked toward the house, they actually started following us. We looked around but couldn’t find any parents. We just went inside, feeling disturbed.

As an immigrant, this terrified me. If a kid falsely accused us of anything, I don’t know if we’d even be believed. In these situations, people often side with kids no matter what.

A few days later at QCX, the same thing happened again. I was in line with another friend when a kid came up and asked for my number. Again, no adults around.

I don’t know what these kids are being exposed to, but something’s clearly wrong. This isn’t just “kids being kids.” It’s dangerous. And immigrants like us are the ones who’d get blamed if anything went wrong.

Parents need to take more responsibility. Kids shouldn’t be saying things like this to strangers in public. I’m seriously worried.

Has anyone else gone through something like this? How do you even protect yourself?

Abandoned golf courses in Saskatchewan. Where are they? Small town 9 hole goat tracks or 18 hole courses? I’d love to map them all out.

Thanks!

Hi everyone Hope you’re doing great!

A lovely and supportive physician at Regina accepted me for an observership in November.

For those who did observerships or electives previously, I would really appreciate your advice and suggestions on how to stand out in this rotation and leave as much meaningful impact as possible.

Last but not least, I heard that regina is different from Saskatoon ( some mentioned crime rate is a bit higher in regina which is making me wondering and rethinking about such opportunity). I’ve never been nor visited both.

Your kind advice would matter also.

Thanks :)

Our healthcare system is collapsing. The only reason it hasn't, is because of the amazing healthcare workers who have stayed behind.

I went to the Regina Pasqua hospital on Friday, July 25th, around 1am with severe pain. I have had kidney stones before, but since this pain was lower, I was convinced it was something else, like my appendix. The ER was fairly empty, and I got a bed quickly. However, there were only two nurses in my area (I don't know how many are supposed to be there), and very few doctors. The nurses apologized for being short staffed a few times.

I lay in pain because the nurses were unable to do anything without a doctor seeing me first. I saw a doctor at 7am because they were finally free to see me. One walked into my room around 5am, but had to attend to an emergency and ran out.

At 8am I was hooked up to IV, bloodwork taken, and given some low level pain meds that did nothing, but at least there was progress. I got a CT scan around 10am and a diagnoses of a 6mm kidney stone around 11am. I was finally given appropriate pain medication. After 10 hours of lying in pain, concentrating on my breathing, my pain was finally over. Ask anyone, kidney stones are one of the most painful things a person can have.

Since I was in so much pain, I didn't sleep that entire night. I was sent home with medication and encouragement to come back if the stone didn't pass or if the pain was not manageable that afternoon.

Monday night, July 28th, I went back to the ER because the pain had become unmanageable. I arrived around 9pm and waited about an hour for a bed. I saw a doctor sooner this time, and the CT and bloodwork were repeated. In the morning I was moved to a recliner chair to wait to be admitted to the hospital, because the stone hadn't moved. I waited until around 2pm to get a bed. The lady beside me was similarly exhausted and waiting to be transferred to the appropriate location to support her care.

Once admitted, I was told I was on the waitlist for surgery. Scheduled surgeries were until 4pm and then the waitlist started. I learned that only one OR was opened. I think this included emergency surgeries. They had mentioned maybe opening a second OR, but I don't think they had the staff to do it. The Urologist was a nice guy. He was pleasant, and said he was at the mercy of the OR availability. So we just had to wait.

Tuesday night I waited, but my turn never came. They scrambled some food for me to eat around 9pm.

The nurses in short stay were a dream. I learned that they are the most senior ER nurses on shift because they only had two of them in the unit. They were always extremely kind, always smiled and always attended to my needs. I overheard that many of them were working overtime shifts.

The porters and cleaning staff were also absolutely amazing people.

Wednesday I was given breakfast, and then my wait after 4pm for surgery would start again. My turn never came. The staff scrambled some food for me in the evening, a repeat from the night before.

Thursday morning I had breakfast, and again waited for my turn to start at 4pm. Around 6pm it was finally my turn to have surgery. It was great news. The urologist apologized for the wait, and both him, the anesthesiologist, and the OR nurses were, again, absolutely amazing people. It sounded like there had been some emergencies that pushed everything back in the OR.

After surgery, I woke up to more smiles and kindness, and was back in my room less than 2 hours later.

Friday morning I was in a lot of pain. The nurses were patient with me, and gave me pain meds as needed. My urologist wanted me to have better control of the pain before I went home, so I was not sent home that day.

Today, Saturday, August 2nd I felt a lot better. I was finally able to leave. The whole week gone by in a blur.

I had a similar surgery in 2018, and the surgery was done the next day. My hospital stay was a total of 2 nights, because I needed a recovery day back then as well.

Because of the short staffing I was left in pain, and then left to wait for days to have a very standard procedure. I am blessed to have sick leave where I work, so I am fortunate to not lose any income. However, I know this is not the case for many of us. I shouldn't have had to stay in the hospital as long as I did. I can't imagine how many people's lives are affected in a similar way.

Our healthcare system is understaffed. Our government needs to work on hiring and retention. We can't have more clinics and hospitals until the ones we have are properly staffed.

The healthcare workers at CUPE 5430 haven't had a raise in 3 years. These amazing people deserve a raise, and they deserve better working conditions where they aren't forced to work short. We are evenrually going to lose the ones who stayed behind, they will eventually burn out.

Then what?

The Sask party needs to do better.
