The group recommended the neighbourhood be named Sunrise and that the word in five Indigenous languages (Cree, Michif, Nakwe, Nakota and Dene) also be considered by the committee. In Cree, sunrise is translated as sakastew.

"Members recommended that Sunrise be used as an English term to support the broader non-Indigenous community of Saskatoon who may be challenged with the pronunciation of Indigenous words," the report says.

As a white woman all I hear in that quote is “Let’s be white about it but not to white!”

This is why we need to legalize the stuff so people are getting it from safe places and create safe injection sites, as well as recovery programs.

I originally thought it was an excessive amount of letters to describe those of us under the rainbow but no, it makes more sense in the context of the article I do not really agree with combining the two but to each their own I guess.

MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ stands for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual+. It's derived in part from the more commonly used initialisms MMIWG (missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls) and 2SLGBTQ+.

Michael Reddekopp spoke on behalf of Reddee Properties Inc., which owns six buildings downtown. He said his properties currently have six vacancies where thriving businesses once operated.

"If you go right in front of Midtown Plaza right now, the downtown is struggling with vagrancy, homelessness, crime and, in essence, some people would say it's rotting at its core," Reddekopp said.

It is almost like this is a different issue, that needs some serious social services work put behind it. Not something to say in an article about how the city is going to try to get this Link system working.

A report from Amnesty International on human rights and the World Cup warned last week about the potential for protests if "the U.S. team is drawn to play in Canada in later rounds and ICE personnel are deployed to provide security."

Must be great to be a high school drop out who wants to see the world and play cops and robbers.

Fair enough, but then why should federal and provincial taxpayers pony up an estimated $800 million for the same venue? That's the plan, if you want to call it that.

It's an excessive amount of money, even before you consider the longstanding objection in Canada to using taxpayer dollars to fund arenas for sports teams.

We may have entered an era when such projects can't proceed without a billionaire partner who owns the major tenant, like an NHL or MLB team.

In the meantime, Saskatoon soldiers on with proposed funding for the arena district that seems increasingly precarious, perhaps even pure fantasy.

I hate that “we” are expecting capital from a cooperation or rich person to fund our public things. I get and understand why people do not want their taxes to go up but at the same time do we want to live in a world where everything is sold? I like my healthcare and my drug prices where they are!

As the title says my apologies for spamming the group and Lemmy.ca. I have killed the bots and I will do better at posting articles I have read.
