ROSETOWN, Sask. — A woman at the centre of a human trafficking trial in Rosetown says she didn’t believe she would lose her government job in Bangladesh, despite warnings from her employer that her absence could lead to termination.

The complainant, whose name is subject to a publication ban, testified Thursday she left Bangladesh in 2022 on a 15-day leave intended for travel to the United States. Instead, she flew to Toronto on a visitor visa and began applying for jobs in Canada, eventually accepting a position at Empire Diner in Gull Lake, Sask.

Things are warming up and t-shirt weather has returned to the Moose Jaw area again, just in time for the weekend.  

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada meteorologist, Steven Berg, clear skies and sunshine are in the forecast as temperatures rise to those more typical of late May in Saskatchewan. 

As spring turns into summer in Saskatchewan, it’s becoming increasingly common for residents to spot young animals alone in nature. But despite their apparent vulnerability, the best thing people can do is keep their distance, according to Conservation Officer Ted Glass. 

“The real short answer is just to leave it alone,” said Glass. “There’s reasons why that animal is there, and very likely mum has put that animal there and told her kid to stay there. Don’t move. And they’ll be back.” 

Seeding is nearly three-quarters complete, with producers across the province reporting 72 per cent of crops in the ground, according to the latest crop report from the Ministry of Agriculture. 

That marks an increase of 23 per cent from the previous week. However, progress was slowed by rain in the southern and eastern regions of the province. 

Seeding remains well ahead of the five-year average of 60 per cent and the 10-year average of 64 per cent.

It's time for the best from the best on Facebook Friday.

We'll start with this one, "How my wife apologizes: I'm sorry for the mean, hurtful, accurate things I said."

I like this, "Forget about the past. You can't change it. Forget about the future. You can't predict it. And, forget about the present. I didn't get you one."

Here's a thought, "Your ex asking you to still be friends after you break up is like kidnappers asking you to stay in touch after they let you go."
