Dawn Luhning’s husband’s restaurant meltdown video?

Does anybody have that video of Dawn Luhning’s (I think) bald husband (allegedly) harassing servers?? It was forever ago, but got a pamphlet of hers and it reminded me of it lol.

City council forum

If anyone was in attendance at the forum for counselors, I was wondering - a couple of times later in the video safe injections sites came up, by a couple of different people. Both times, there was a person blurting something out. Was this someone in the crowd or on stage?

Is it really a big problem in the park?

https://www.discovermoosejaw.com/articles/police-comment-on-crescent-park-encampment-concerns I only ask because even the police said during that time it's only been 6 random people and at most it was 4 people in the same spot. I know it's Moose Jaw and we need solutions for the homeless, but 6 people in that time frame is not that many imo. I've seen way more in other parts of town on the regular since the shelter has shut down. (I'm not gonna oust where there are, so don't ask.) Does anyone know where I can point these people towards if I decide to approach them? It's getting cold so I'd rather them be somewhere warm and not camped out.

Moose Jaw City Council Elections: Let's Discuss!

Am curious to hear who you're voting for on City Council and why. There are a lot running this year (see the candidate profiles). I would love to hear your thoughts. I've picked a few I think I will vote for, but your posts might sway my vote (because I don't know many of the candidates on a personal level). Hoping for a good discussion.

Food bank donations

I’m originally from India, where I’ve often noticed that many people look down on the homeless and beggars, rarely offering them help. The government provides subsidies for essential foods through ration stores, but even these are often viewed with disdain by many middle-class people.

Now that some of these same individuals have moved to Canada, I see them proudly using the food bank. I’ve checked the reviews for the local food bank, and I recognize some of the names there. None of the people I know have financial difficulties—they live in apartments, wear expensive clothes, and even have stable jobs. When I suggested to an old work mate not to use the food bank, his response was a confident, “Oh, I will go; I’m not ashamed.” I felt uneasy and just replied, “I understand.”

Saving every last penny is a very common habit among Indians. I remember my dad scolding me for buying something that was only 0.50 rupees more than the cheapest option. This behavior isn’t tied to someone’s financial status; it’s just a cultural norm and it's not necessarily bad. However, I find it unsettling to see people who have good jobs in Canada still using the food bank, and some even leave negative reviews about the quality.

This Halloween, when volunteers came by asking for donations, I couldn’t help but think of those same people I once I worked with. I felt hesitant to donate, worrying that anything I contributed might end up in their homes. I know that if people found out I donated to the food bank, they’d say things like, “Are you that well-off? I didn’t know! Now lend me $500.” They might even joke with their friends, saying, “That girl learned nothing about how to hustle. She’s so naïve, and we get all this FREE stuff anyway.”

So, I told the volunteer “sorry, I don't have anything”. We are struggling financially, but we would have donated something if the food bank screened its recipients. I still want to help people in need this winter, and I’ll find another way to make a difference.

Note: This post is made from a burner account as I don't want anyone to recognize me.

PSA for the School Board trustee election.

https://www.prairiesouth.ca/2024-election-candidates-profiles/ So Tenielle McLeod, wife of Moose Jaw North MLA Tim Mcleod is running for trustee. She claims in this profile "I am known as a servant leader, committed to transparency, accountability, and ethical governance.", no where does it mention her husband or her affiliation to SP. Take it as you will, but she's already lied to you. So if you're taking part in the voting for this election, please keep this information in mind.

Beware of Knight Hyundai HUGE markups

I was checking out a new Hyundai vehicle and noticed there are major markups on the prices. This dealership is trying to tack on nearly SIX GRAND in additional fees calling it a winter package and saying delivery and destination are part of it, which they are not. This is double dipping. I'm sure others are doing this as well, but please everyone, if you are shopping at this dealership (or any dealership) do your homework. WALK OUT if they are trying to do this stuff. The only way to stop this BS from happening is to stop paying it. If anyone wants more info on the conversations that I had with the dealership go ahead and PM me.

Help Needed for School Project - Opening an Art Studio in Moose Jaw

Hey everyone! I'm working on a school project where I have to create a concept for a new, and I would love some feedback from the community here in Moose Jaw.

The idea is to open an art shop and studio— a place where people can buy art supplies, use the studio to work on their own art, attend workshops, and even display or sell their own creations. I’d like it to be a welcoming space for beginners, hobbyists, and artists alike.

So, I’m curious:

Do you consider yourself an artisit?

Would you be interested in visiting an art studio like this?

What types of art supplies or workshops would you like to see?

Are there any specific services or activities you’d find helpful or enjoyable in an art studio?

Any feedback or thoughts would be hugely appreciated! Thanks for helping me with my project!

Well the election has come and gone and….

The Saskparty has reigned supreme, this should serve a lesson to all the NDP propagandists. Who have been ramming their party down everyone else’s throats on here for weeks. Pushing your political beliefs on others is often more of a hindrance to your party than a virtue.

Go vote today. Moose Jaw North is a swing riding, and will likely come down to a small amount of votes

Your vote COUNTS

Lots of people think that their vote doesn't actually make a difference… I am here to tell you that your vote 100% makes a difference.

An MLA in Alberta one by 5 (FIVE!!!) votes.

An MLA in BC just won by 23 (TWENTY THREE!!!) votes

PLEASE VOTE!!!

New to town

Just moved into town from Vancouver and already very happy with the decision! I'm planning to build a forge and was wondering if anyone around town had some old forge tools or anvil or anything like that they'd be willing to sell? Or if there's any sort of store here that might carry blacksmithing equipment! Thanks in advance
