This is Saskatchewan

Dog attacks in Regina and Saskatoon have people questioning how to best deal with aggressive dogs. Regina is updating its animal bylaw for the first time in 16 years and some people are worried the conversation could lead decision makers towards a breed ban. Is a pitbull more dangerous than a chihuahua? We go digging for the answer.

Premier Scott Moe invited Gainer the Gopher to the legislature this week just as the Riders are set to play in the Western Final. Does this promote provincial pride or does it distract from the many issues at hand such as the Supreme Court hearing appeals of Saskatchewan's pronoun law and an upcoming party convention where the pressure is on to win back the cities.

Move over millennials. Gen Z is the next generation of consumers. But it’s a hard generation to reach (they don’t take phone calls or answer emails.) So when people from some of the province’s largest organizations sat down with a group of 15-20 year olds to ask them anything, what did they learn? We eavesdrop on the conversations. (This podcast has been edited to remove the voice of a student whose parents had not signed their school's media consent form).

The roll out of a new Saskatchewan Health Authority scheduling system was such a disaster, the health minister stepped in and scrapped it.The failed system has cost $272 million as of the end of August. Our political panelists Murray Mandryk and Alexander Quon weigh the impact of having to tap out on time cards.

In a shocking move, the mayor of Duck Lake announced he is open to selling the town’s naming rights for a minimum bid of $10-million dollars. The historic Métis community in central Saskatchewan is dwindling and it needs money to pay for road repairs and new water and sewer lines. Can the town do this? Will any companies make a bid? And what will this mean for people who live there?

The Saskatchewan Party government and the NDP Opposition continue to disagree on the best way to deal with tariffs imposed by the U.S. They also can’t agree on how to deal with overloaded hospitals or how to respond to wildfires. What they do agree on – somewhat surprisingly – is involuntary treatment for people dealing with severe addictions and tailgating at Rider games. Political panelists Alexander Quon and Murray Mandryk say this should lead to a spicy session.

People in Gravelbourg, a Fransaskois community in south-west Saskatchewan, are working to preserve its historic buildings. The town is even willing to give a 90-thousand square foot Catholic convent away for free, if your vision can help solve the community’s housing crisis. Can Gravelbourg do it?

The trials end and the details of Megan Gallagher’s killing are finally made public, including exactly what happened in the garage on Saskatoon’s Weldon Avenue. Her family wants people to know their story is part of a larger trend of violence against Indigenous women and girls.

Nine people are charged in connection to Megan’s death, making it an incredibly complex homicide case. But as the trials begin, serious cracks in the justice system emerge. We zoom in on two of the accused, whose trials went off the rails after police and the Crown botched the handling of a confidential informant.

The hunt to find Megan turns into a search for her remains. Two years after disappearing, her body is found 130 km from home, on the shores of the South Saskatchewan River. But how did she get there? And who is responsible?
