Prime Minister Mark Carney will be watched closely by Canadians infuriated by Donald Trump — and by an anxious business community looking for tariff relief — when he meets with the U.S. president Tuesday in Washington.

After months of Trump's annexation threats, the newly elected prime minister will be tasked with a delicate balancing act — showing strength while maintaining Canada's place in a critical North American trade pact the president's tariffs have sought to upend.

BJ Zieger has been painting for more than 15 years, but in the five years since moving to Estevan, he’s become a familiar name and style throughout the city—especially for those who have taken a walk past some of its most striking murals.

A recent oil conference held in Saskatchewan saw plenty of industry interest as the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference drew out exhibits and people in the oil industry from across the country and the world. The event in Regina lasted from April 28th to the 30th, with appearances from industry professionals and Premier Scott Moe also showing up.

Estevan Mayor Tony Sernick took the time to head to the event and said it was much more oil-focused this year.

King Charles will visit Ottawa to deliver the speech from the throne at the end of this month in a show of support for Canadian sovereignty, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday.

The news came in his first press conference since leading the Liberals to a fourth straight mandate in Monday's election, where he laid out the priorities for his first few months, promising to "embark on the biggest transformation of our economy since the end of the Second World War." 

More than three quarters of Canadians believe misinformation had an impact on the outcome of the federal election, a new poll suggests.

The Leger poll, which sampled more than 1,500 Canadian adults from April 29 to May 1, suggests that 19 per cent of people think false information or misinformation had a major impact on the election.

Almost a third (32 per cent) said it had a moderate impact, while 26 per cent said it had a minor impact on the election's outcome.

Only nine per cent of Canadians said misinformation had no impact on the election at all.

CAA's worst roads of Saskatchewan have come in, and for the first time in a while, most of the southeast is off the list.

The CAA's worst roads list includes those with potholes or crumbling pavement, cracks, general disrepair, poor signage, congestion, and unsafe infrastructure.

Last year, Moosomin's Highway 8 took the top spot, with potholes all along the road causing problems.

This year, the Southeast is mostly off the list, with the exception of Weyburn's Highway 35, which came tied for tenth place.

Female leaders from across the region were celebrated today at the Southeast Women of Distinction Awards in Estevan, recognizing exceptional achievements and contributions in community service, innovation, leadership and inclusion.

This year’s annual event featured a mix of urban and rural nominees from throughout southeast Saskatchewan. For the first time, the nominations committee made the decision to limit the number of finalists to keep categories manageable.
