Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What’s behind a rash of broken windows in Sask. cities?
Q: What is the takeaway for listeners when they see boarded-up windows or a string of break-ins?
The takeaway is that engaging with law enforcement and municipal services to address root causes like homelessness and mental health can reduce the behavior, and proactive community-wide efforts (including CPTED and rapid restoration) help restore a sense of safety.
Carla Beck pushed for change in 2025. Does she think it worked?
Q: What's your highlight of the year?
Beck points to the NDP caucus strengthening its connection with people across the province, holding the government to account, and bringing forward ideas on health, wages, and cost of living.
Why it’s sink or swim if you want lessons at a Regina pool
Q: What can families do if they don't get in this session?
Keep trying and engage with municipal council, and consider alternative options like summer camps or regional pools to maintain continuous swimming opportunities for children.
Why it’s sink or swim if you want lessons at a Regina pool
Q: Why is it so hard to convince residents and councils to fund new pools or replacements?
The challenge is balancing budget constraints with the illustrated social and economic benefits of pools, including education, employment, and community health, which makes progress slow but necessary.
Why it’s sink or swim if you want lessons at a Regina pool
Q: What do you think is behind the waitlist numbers for Regina's swimming lessons?
The primary driver is insufficient pool water time and capacity, with limited indoor facilities struggling to accommodate the community's demand, especially during peak times.
