Many thanks Dear Listeners,

For tuning into Civically Speaking and tuning into community radio on CFCR and community radio channels around the world.

We are happy to bring you a feel good story for these times in the name of Walter White and a wonderful reunion with his family after 3+ years. 

And sadly, more news from Ukraine in an attack-like way. Darn it anyways to the conflict continuing and Putin ramping up efforts.

We also touch base on the results of the Alberta United Conservative Party Leadership Race that now has Danielle Smith coming in to replace Jason Kenney as Leader, and by democratic process, premier of Alberta until the next general election (or by some other circumstance).

And, stay tuned for next week's show - where the focus will be all things Saskatoon civics.

Hello Listeners,

Thanks for tuning in to Civically Speaking. Much appreciation.

We have James Yachyshen and Darcy Warrington joining us again to debrief on the latest Provincial By-Election results from Saskatoon Meewasin.

We then turn our attention to a discussion about the Saskatoon Lighthouse and the stopping of provincial funding - and need to find new places for emergency sheltering for homeless people in Saskatoon.
 
A lesson in governance and more, perhaps.

Tune in. Share with others. Thanks to co-host, Christina Cherneskey for navigating the civic waters.

Dear Listeners,

Thanks for tuning in. Much appreciation.

In this episode, Christina Cherneskey and I do a bit of de-brief on the results of the recent Saskatoon Meewasin By-Election. 

Nathaniel Teed, NDP, is the unofficial new MLA for the constituency. Congratulations to Nathaniel and thank you to all who stepped up as candidates. 

We ask a number of questions and share some very preliminary thoughts  - in the absence of having the full break-down of results.  

Have a listen, add your own thoughts, and stay tuned for further analysis on this in episodes upcoming.

Thanks for tuning in,

Civically Speaking Listeners, it has been quite the long weekend in Saskatchewan. And stories are still evolving involving separate incidents where dangerous people are still at large - one story about a number of stabbings in multiple locations; and in another story - about a  shooting incident.

With dangerous offenders at large - hearts go out to the families and friends closely affected by these tragedies. 

Saskatchewan, we have to pull together, be here for each other, care about each other. To the offenders being found and justice served. And, to healings.

Thanks Christina for joining the show as an official co-host. Many stories unfolding.
