    Will a social media ban work? Sask. teens and experts weigh in

    The federal government recently introduced the Safe Social Media Act, which would force social media platforms to restrict accounts for kids under 16 unless the platforms can implement adequate safeguards. Prior to that, Premier Scott Moe mailed every Sask. family a survey, seeking feedback from parents. We asked teens, technology analysts and mental health experts if a ban would actually work. This episode first aired on April 22, 2026.

    New neighbourhood, new school? Not exactly

    Regina is adding a neighbourhood the size of Moose Jaw, but there’s no plan to build a school there. Turns out, this is a common problem in many new suburbs: people move to a newly-built neighbourhood and the nearest school quickly fills up. What is it like inside these schools and just how crowded are they? CBC’s Katie Swyers focuses on Saskatoon and Regina to see how divisions and families cope with overcrowding.

    Should the Sask. Marshals Service get a SWAT team? Turns out, no

    The Saskatchewan Marshals Service was in the process of creating a specialized response unit. This led one criminologist to question if it was necessary and then the provincial told the police force to pause plans for the unit. Guest host Tory Gillis asks our political panel, columnist Murray Mandryk and CBC Provincial Affairs reporter Alexander Quon, about this and the latest developments on trade between Canada and the U.S.

    Fighting wildfires head-on after ‘inadequate’ govt response

    When wildfires swept through northern Saskatchewan in 2025, officials ordered residents to leave. In this episode, meet the people who defied evacuation orders north of La Ronge for more than a week, forking out $39,000 for equipment to confront a wall of flames on their own. CBC producer Janani Whitfield travelled to Wadin Bay to understand the difficult decisions neighbours make when fire threatens their homes. Saskatchewan’s wildfire response last summer was “inadequate” with “significant gaps”, according to an independent audit released June 12, 2026. A week later, Wadin Bay became the first fire-ravaged community to receive a provincial grant of $40,000 to compensate residents.
