U.S. midterm election results showed that Americans are pushing back against AI data centres. We asked our political panel of Murray Mandryk and Alexander Quon if that will affect the mega-project Bell is building outside of Regina.

A Toronto-based developer is hoping to add 500 tiny homes to the roof of a mall in Prince Albert. He still needs to formally apply to the city and demonstrate the plan is feasible. Host Adam Hunter explores how the idea might both help struggling malls and address affordable housing shortages.

The Saskatchewan government laid out its legislative agenda with a speech from the throne. It promises a “strong and steady” Saskatchewan. The NDP Opposition says things are shakier.

When an encampment in Saskatoon was cleared, it brought a critical conversation about homelessness to a boiling point. We examine whether changes to provincial income support programs like SIS and SAID are contributing to the housing crisis.

Investigations about the people who get hurt when the systems meant to protect us fail, hard. Not by accident, not from poor planning, but because someone chose to do wrong — and others chose to do nothing. In When it All Went Wrong with chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault as your guide, CBC’s best journalists go deep over multiple episodes to reveal the fault lines in institutions we’ve come to trust and the fates of people caught in the middle. The latest investigation, The Missing Boys, follows two teens who disappear after being lured by gangs to traffic drugs far from home. Hosted by Mark Kelley, this four-episode story is a co-production with CBC’s the fifth estate. This is episode one of the investigation, episode two is available here: https://link.mgln.ai/WIAWWxTISxS1Ep2 More episodes of When it All Went Wrong are available wherever you get your podcasts, and here: https://link.mgln.ai/WIAWWxTIS

Bell’s $52-billion AI data centre is Saskatchewan’s largest ever private investment and will now occupy a massive swath of former farmland. How did we get here?

Alberta has said it's preparing for a record voter turnout of about 85 per cent for its referendum on whether to have a referendum to separate. Our political panellists, Murray Mandryk and Alexander Quon, give their take on the vote and look at the latest with the AI data centre and a private jet trip by a Sask. MLA.

Trillionaire Elon Musk said Saskatchewan and Alberta should separate from Canada in a social media post and Premier Scott Moe responded with a simple “No.” We ask our political panel of Murray Mandryk and Alexander Quon about this and the ever-expanding Bell AI data centre project outside of Regina.

Everyone in the city has an opinion on the Downtown Event and Entertainment District (also known as DEED), and a local group thinks we should put it to a vote. It wouldn't be the first time the city did that. We dig into the contentious $1.2-billion project, and if a referendum could settle this debate once and for all.
