Saskatoon business leader pitches data centre expansion

With a ‘hyperscale’ data centre under construction south of Regina, Jason Aebig and other business leaders are keen to build smaller versions in and around Saskatoon. Those plans hinge on easy access to the electrical grid. Former city councillor Mairin Loewen outlines questions municipal leaders may have before issuing any approvals, as Ottawa links data centres and ‘compute power’ to digital sovereignty. You can also give this episode a listen: Regina is building a massive AI data centre. Will we benefit? We also asked our political panel how Bell's $1B data centre was approved so quickly. Find out why Alberta’s at the epicentre of a wave of supersized data centres.

Generic Ozempic is in Sask. Who should use it?

Will being fat soon be a thing of the past? We can now buy cheaper, generic versions of Wegovy and Ozempic at Saskatchewan pharmacies. Physicians call them game-changers in reducing obesity, diabetes, heart and stroke, and inflammation, but GLP-1s do not work for everyone. We explore how this changes the perception of using drugs to "cheat" at weight loss, why people take them, and what this means for the body positivity movement.

Separation anxiety: will Saskatchewan follow Alberta’s lead?

People hoping to make Saskatchewan an independent country face an uphill battle compared with their Alberta counterparts, as they try to convince citizens their votes and voices don’t matter. Political strategists say after ceding to some fringe requests, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has maintained his grip on power — and kept aggrieved separatists out of the legislature.

Is Brandt’s offer a REAL good deal for Regina taxpayers?

The owner of the Regina Pats wants to buy the 6,000-seat venue where his team plays, along with a distillery, a nearby McDonald's, volleyball and pickleball courts, and several aging buildings used primarily during farm shows. So, what’s in the fine print? Shaun Semple says it stops the city from hemorrhaging money on aging property it had no plan to fix. Along with a 100-year civic tax exemption, the Brandt Group of Companies would be entitled to other revenue-generating assets on the exhibition grounds, including buildings the city still owns. Some citizens and councillors believe the sale is too rushed and want the city to negotiate better terms.

Why are Regina’s potholes so bad?

Complaints in Saskatchewan follow a bit of a pattern. We whine about winter. Then spring finally hits, and we moan about potholes. It’s cathartic to complain collectively. But seriously, why are potholes so bad here? We revisit this 2024 episode about potholes because they aren’t getting any better.

Saskatoon harm reduction site closes. What now?

After running hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt, Prairie Harm Reduction is closing its doors for good. Its board says it found no signs of fraud. The cost of helping hundreds of people and families in Saskatoon simply grew too high and too quickly. This marks the end for Saskatchewan’s first supervised drug consumption site, along with housing services for teens and families, education services, and a drop-in centre. We look at what led to the longtime Saskatoon charity’s closure, and what losing it means for the city and the people who relied on Prairie Harm Reduction to stay alive.
