Tell us about yourself and what got you into politics 

I've spent the last three decades in the world of sports and have the opportunity to coach and lead teams here in Saskatchewan as well as other places. I've always enjoyed coming back to Saskatchewan, it's my home province. Over the years, as we've traveled, we've seen lots of different things that just make you wonder, OK, where do I want to continue to raise my family? Saskatchewan is that place.  

The lights are up, the trees are decorated, and we're ready to shop for the holidays! The Downtown Moose Jaw Association presents Christmas in October once again in Downtown Moose Jaw.

It's time for Twitter Tuesday. I share the best from the best on X, formerly known as Twitter.

This one, "2025 in 10 weeks? Bro, I haven't processed anything since 2020...can you please wait?"

This funny gal I follow Tweets, "I was watching a show called 'Ten Ways to Avoid a Shark Attack' and, surprisingly, STAY OUT OF THE WATER didn't make the list."

Here's a thought, "We should have a national quiet day where everyone just shuts up for 24 hours."

Returning for another star-studded year, Co-op Ethanol Complex and Moose Jaw Co-op present A Night In Nashville in partnership with River Street Promotions. The magical night returns to the Mae Wilson Theatre on Saturday, December 14th.

Tell us about yourself and why you got involved in politics. 

I’m Blaine McLeod, and I'm a dairy farmer from just West of Moose Jaw. My dairy farm is on the south side of the highway at Caronport, and I've had the pleasure of being involved in the dairy industry for over 40 years, 43 to be exact. 

The Saskatchewan Provincial election is just a week away, with the province's parties looking at what they can do for the agriculture sector.

That includes working with other provinces and the federal government and responding to disaster years such as the droughts that have come up through the 2020s.

Trent Wotherspoon is one provincial candidate, who served as the Saskatchewan NDP's official critic for agriculture, finance, and transportation during his previous term.

UPDATE: Police say that the highway is now open and confirm that a two-vehicle collision occurred this morning.

No major injuries were reported.

I find myself falling into the trap at least once a day. 

It happens at work and it happens at home when I check social media.

I click on the "Reels and Short Videos" section on Facebook. I watch one and then another and there's no telling how long I might spend in that trap.

The reels come with music and audio on Facebook and Instagram and algorithms come into play. Your reels will be recommended based on what may be relevant to you.

It's game night tonight at the Moose Jaw Events Centre as the Warriors play host to the Seattle Thunderbirds. The Warriors are winless in 4 games while the T-Birds are on a two game skid. You can catch all the action on Country 100, starting with the pregame show at 6:40. 

After her party won a majority government in the New Brunswick election on Monday, Liberal Leader Susan Holt thanked all the women who came before her.

Flanked by her three young daughters on stage in Fredericton, Holt, the first female premier-designate in New Brunswick history, delivered a bilingual victory speech that paid tribute to female trailblazers in provincial politics.

The 47-year-old former business advocate and public servant led the Liberals to victory after a 33-day campaign, thwarting Blaine Higgs’s bid to secure a third term as Tory premier.
