What was Gainer the Gopher doing at the legislature?
Premier Scott Moe invited Gainer the Gopher to the legislature this week just as the Riders are set to play in the Western Final. Does this promote provincial pride or does it distract from the many issues at hand such as the Supreme Court hearing appeals of Saskatchewan's pronoun law and an upcoming party convention where the pressure is on to win back the cities.

Sask. businesses want to tap into Gen Z's minds and wallets
Move over millennials. Gen Z is the next generation of consumers. Businesses want their dollars but it’s a hard generation to reach (they don’t take phone calls or answer emails.) So when people from some of the province’s largest companies such as SGI, Sasktel, and Tourism Saskatchewan got to sit down with a group of 15-20 year olds to ask them anything, what did they learn about this next generation of customers?

For $10M you can buy the right to rename Duck Lake
In a shocking move, the mayor of Duck Lake announced he is open to selling the town’s naming rights for a minimum bid of $10-million dollars. The historic Métis community in central Saskatchewan is dwindling and it needs money to pay for road repairs and new water and sewer lines. Can the town do this? Will any companies make a bid? And what will this mean for people who live there?

Why Moe and Beck agree on tailgate parties but not tariffs
The Saskatchewan Party government and the NDP Opposition continue to disagree on the best way to deal with tariffs imposed by the U.S. They also can’t agree on how to deal with overloaded hospitals or how to respond to wildfires. What they do agree on – somewhat surprisingly – is involuntary treatment for people dealing with severe addictions and tailgating at Rider games. Political panelists Alexander Quon and Murray Mandryk say this should lead to a spicy session.
