Can I still take the road test

I got a ticket due to improper driving. the police officer filed me a ticket on the road.

i just searched website, and found it could be a -4 demerit points deduction.

I am quite cautious about this, however I can not find any demerit points deduction info on the ticket (I paid the ticket immediately). I am worried that my demerit points goes down to an extend that I may not be allowed to drive the car any more, i will have to sell the vehicle. I bought it for driving practice..

it is my first time facing this. cuz the car kept tracking and horning, initially I thought I met a bad guy(it was a winter evening), then I kept driving to get rid of him/her. then the car went beside me, i saw it was a police officer's car (not a bad guy), so I stopped and talked to him. he said I should immediately stop if a police's car went nearby (sorry I've never met this situation before)

Please could anyone advise me whether i can still take the road test shortly (I've ordered a road test 2 weeks later)? if it is no longer possible, I will need to make the corresponsding arrangement for this. FYI, I got parking tickets before, but they won't deduct my demerit points, but this time, it was issued by a police officer, I am totally freak out. (I didn't drive too much, but its -23 freezing cold). I moved to Regina this year, and this is the first winter here. I am not an excellent driver in the snowy road.

can anyone explain the demerit points for me? what's my initial points? if its 0, then my current points may be -4 (i can not find my demerit point record anywhere), i hold a learner licence, can I still take the road test with a -4 demerit points? if there is a suspend period, how long would that be? (I just logged into mysgi, and seems my appointment for the road test has not been cancelled. )

Anywhere I can take a TV to have my optical audio port door fixed?

I’ve tried everything, from taping it, hot glue, and sticky tack. Nothing. Basically the little door inside the optical audio port broke off, and now the cord for that port just doesn’t stay inside it.

Really sucks cause I have a good soundbar, and I don’t want to get a whole new TV. Any advice or direction is appreciated.

Date/Fun ideas

What do couples do in winter in Regina ? Stay at home, watch movies, go for coffee date, long drive ? What else do people do in wintertime except staying home and watching movies together ? I’m bored.

How much to pay a kid to shovel?

I don't have a driveway, but next time it snows, I will be needing someone to shovel the city sidewalk in front of of my house (small Lakeview bungalow), and the sidewalk from the street to my front door.

If I find a neighbour kid or someone from church to shovel for me, what should I be offering to pay?

Caution Buying a car at Crestview Chrysler - My experience

I wanted to share my experience breaking down the bill at Crestview. I went in to trade a 10+ year-old vehicle and was quoted $1,500 for the trade-in. No complaints there—I understand dealerships tend to lowball, and it’s often a take-it-or-leave-it situation.

However, when I received the quote for the new vehicle, I noticed a significant gap—over 20%—between the sale price and the total after taxes and add-ons. When I asked for a breakdown, they showed me the standard dealer fees (~$800), financing fees, and taxes, but those still added up to about $3,000 less than the final total.

I pressed for a more detailed explanation and discovered two suspicious line items labeled "trade-in" and "net trade-in," each listed at $1,500. Instead of reducing the total, these amounts were added to it. When I questioned this, the salesman insisted it was correct. Even the manager stood by the numbers—until I asked them to explain why I was effectively paying them to take my old car.

Whether it was ignorance or malice, this experience taught me to demand a detailed breakdown of every line item before signing anything. Always make sure you understand what you're being charged for.

How do I get from Kramer IMAX back to the airport at 1am?

Hello, I'm flying in from Vancouver second week of December to watch Interstellar at Kramer IMAX. My flight is landing at 12pm and I'm taking a 6am flight the next day back to Vancouver. Once the 10pm movie ends at 1am, my plan is to somehow get back to the airport and just... chill there until my 6am flight. Is public transit an option at this time? I'm down to walk if the conditions aren't too terrible (I have gaiters and I like an adventure).

Also, I've been looking around the subreddit and Tourism Regina for things to do between 12pm and 10pm. Royal Museum seems cool. Can I rent skates to skate on Wascana Lake? Would I ever consider renting a car for a day just to drive around ($45 for a day??)? Learn how to do donuts in the snow in a Walmart parking lot?

Thanks in advance

Edit: Thank you everyone for the good advice. Maybe no snow shoeing for me this time 'round. I'm looking into renting a car, hopefully the suspiciously low price of $45/day Enterprise quoted me still holds for a 21 year old. As for sightseeing, since I'm driving around I have much more flexibility. Royal Museum, RCMP Museum, 13th Ave, and the Science Museum are front runners. I'm excited to visit your city next week, my parents said this will be the first time anyone in my bloodline has been East of Calgary (in land).

Restaurant for small gathering with a TV

Hey folks, I am organizing a monthly meetup event for local game developers and people interested in making games. Usually we meet at libraries but for the year end, we thought it would be nice to go to a restaurant. It would be nice to still be able to do the things we normally do like Playtest each other's games.

Does anyone have suggestions on places that serve food, have a room for groups of 12 to 16 that also has a TV or projector? We went to the Cathedral social hall in the past and they had an ideal setup but that is closed now.

Library Advertising

Lately I’ve been noticing Regina Public Library advertising asking for support to build a new library. Maybe I’m just getting crabby in my old age but this is annoying me. I thought the library is owned by the citizens of Regina and that citizens fund the place through our taxes. So is the money I pay in taxes being used to advertise back to me to encourage me to spend even more tax money supporting the library? Whether I support building a new library or not this use of tax money seems wrong. I shouldn’t have to pay to lobby myself.
