Tell us about yourself and what got you involved in politics 

I care about quality of life and standard of services that I think living in Saskatchewan should afford to all of us. 

Tell us about yourself and the key issues in your constituency 

My name is Raymond Carrick, I'm the candidate for the Progressive Conservative Party for Dakota-Arm River. I live in Eyebrow on a farm that's been in the family for 78 years. 

The reason that I got into politics is that I spent 26 years on municipal council. 

Carnie's Comments

I was back at my alma mater this week, Central Collegiate Institute in Moose Jaw, 41 years after graduation.

It was a pleasure to see the youthful exuberance and to make some new friends.

I spoke to grades 11 and 12 students who are taking the "Media & Communications" class, at the request of the teacher.

I told the kids about my career which actually started at that high school, writing a monthly school news column that was published in the local newspaper.

Square One Community Inc. and the Moose Jaw Non-Profit Housing Corporation have entered into a formal partnership guaranteeing the use of the William Milne building for Square One’s new supportive housing project.  

Q: Tell us a bit about yourself? 

A: I was born and raised in Saskatchewan. With my partner and our kids, we moved all over the country while he was serving in the Royal Canadian Navy. When he was finishing off his career, we decided that it was time to come home. We came home three years ago, and I started working at the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank.  

Assiniboia man Richard Dyke had his case adjournment during Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Monday as both sides agreed that this will be a complicated case. 

Lawyer Estes Fonkalsrud appeared on Dyke’s behalf and waived his personal appearance. Fonkalsrud told the court that he was expected an adjournment from the Provincial Crown for additional disclosure, or evidence that will be presented against Dyke.  

Fonkalsrud added that he is expecting “substantial” disclosure that will likely include thousands of documents considering the number of charges.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resisted calls for his resignation for more than a year now but in recent weeks those calls have grown louder and in some cases more public.

The Liberal caucus meets Wednesday and Trudeau is expected to be confronted by a group of MPs who have banded together to try and finally convince him to go.

Here’s what you need to know ahead of this meeting. 

They scored 3 goals in just over 3 minutes in the first period and the Seattle Thunderbirds went on to a 4-1 win over the Warriors in Moose Jaw last night.

Connor Schmidt was the only Warrior to score as Seattle outshot Moose Jaw 39-24.

The Warriors are boarding the bus and heading west - first stop Kelowna where they'll play the Rockets on Friday.

The WHL announced yesterday that the Warriors’ Lynden Lakovic is on the roster to compete in the CHL-USA prospects challenge November 26 and 27 in Ontario. 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will face down his own caucus members in a hotly anticipated meeting this morning, as several of them plan to try to convince him to step aside.

Rumours have circulated for weeks about an undisclosed number of Liberal MPs who have signed on to the effort to oust the prime minister in the hopes of improving the party's chances in the next election. 

That promises to make the regular weekly caucus meeting on Parliament Hill extra tense, as Trudeau has showed no signs of stepping down from the top job.
