SGI wants your help identifying some of the more annoying behaviors you see out on the roads and highways. The Crown insurance provider has taken to social media and asked "how do other drivers bug you?" in an effort to raise awareness about some of the things we may be doing that leave other drivers red in the face. We're happy to help SGI collect the data, so it's time for a special driving-themed double-edition of Bugsday: the Hour of Rage! Give us a call at 1-877-332-8255 or send a text to 306306 and let us know what bugs you when you get behind the wheel!

What's got you bugged?

Saskatoon's Royal University Hospital and St. Paul's Hospital are both badly over capacity, and the Saskatchewan Health Authority says staff have spent the past few weeks struggling to keep up with the "extreme" pressure. After the NDP released internal memos from the SHA indicating the severity of the issues, the health authority issued a statement acknowledging the capacity problems and outlining what's being done to alleviate the pressure. The SHA says a Command Centre has been activated to help manage patient flow and prioritize the safety of significantly ill patients by ensuring they have a bed and acute care. They're also reviewing which patients can be safely sent home, and have asked the public to be aware of the situation and use walk-in mediclinics for non-emergency treatment. To help explain the current challenges in our hospitals, John is joined by Sharon Garrett, Vice President of Integrated Urban Health for the Saskatchewan Health Authority.
