Down the Road

by Brian Brannagan

Playa del Carmen

T

he Yucatan peninsula separates the Caribbean Sea from the Gulf of Mexico.

The Caribbean side of the peninsula is renowned for its white sand beaches and warm ocean waters and of course, its tropical climate. Interestingly, the sand on the beaches doesn't get hot the way sand typically does. Even in the hottest part of the day, the sand is comfortable to walk on, doesn't burn your feet you don't have to do that little 'ouch - ouch - ouch' dance on your way into the water.

There was a group of four people, 2 men and 2 women, coming toward us from behind, they were only a few steps away, and they rushed forward with napkins and tissues in their hands and started brushing at us, helping to clean the poop off.

Then just as quickly they were gone and we hurried into our condo, wanting to shower and wash our clothes. After showering, Mrs. B went looking for her wallet which she had been carrying in her purse - and couldn't find it. She enlisted my help and we scoured the apartment but to no avail.

Playa del Carmen is a beach resort on the northern end of the peninsula, about an hours drive south of the International Airport in Cancun.

Mrs. B and I were staying at a downtown condo only half a block from Playa's very popular and much-frequented open-air pedestrian mall. The mall is about as wide as a four-lane road and stretches along for more than two miles running about 3 blocks off the beach and parallel to it. Both sides of the mall are packed, cheek by jowl, with many, many restaurants and bars and souvenir stores and specialty boutiques as well as every other kind of retail outlet you can think of.

Those people were pick-pockets, she said, they stole my wallet.

No way, I replied, Mexicans don't do that. But then I put my hands in my own pockets and found my credit card wasn't there - I knew it had to be there, I had just used it for dinner that night. And belatedly, I realized that Mrs. B was right, we had been pickpocketed.

All the restaurants and bars have music, mostly live bands, and are well-stocked with beverage-happy tourists.

And from sunrise to the early morning hours, the mall is also packed with vacationers and locals and buskers and shills and more tourists, nobody in a hurry, everybody wandering casually, enjoying the music and the aromas, the sights and sounds, the energy.

The condo we had rented came with the inducement that the front door of the condo was only 69 (sixty-nine) steps away from the Starbucks on the pedestrian mall. Well, who could resist that?

An uncited inducement but soon discovered, was the presence of an upscale gym just a few doors down from the Starbucks. While sitting in the warm sun of the Starbucks sidewalk patio, leisurely sipping on a cold beverage, I was entertained by a steady passage of people coming and going to the gym: spandex-clad women, lithe and comely, looking as if they were in the middle of a Sports Illustrated photo shoot. There was also a steady passage of men coming and going, too, all buff-bodied, chisel-featured Brad Pitt look-alikes (honestly, it was like looking in a mirror).

The wide variety of restaurants within easy walking distance made eating out an easy choice - walking home took less time than washing supper dishes. After one particularly fine and leisurely supper we slowly strolled our way back to the condo, enjoying the warm night air, the smell and feel of it, and the sounds of music, slightly muted on our otherwise quiet street.

Mrs. B was entering the code for the entrance gate to the condo complex when she felt something strike her hair, and then something else strike her shoulder. She gasped and then I, too, felt something land on my shoulder and on my back. We both looked up, thinking something had fallen on us from the roof, looked like bird poop, maybe - smelled like bird poop, definitely.

Mrs. B and I have vacationed in Mexico many times over the years and this was the first negative experience we had ever had. Our experience with Mexicans was that they were always welcoming and kind and patient.

That maybe helps to explain my initial hesitation to admit we had been robbed.

But then once I accepted that we had indeed been robbed, and my surprise and annoyance had subsided, my feelings moved on and I started to appreciate the theft for the amazing experience that it was.

All men, right from birth, have a well-developed hyper awareness when it comes to the care and protection of the, um, centre of our being. We are very sensitive to any incursions, any possible incursions, into the "No Trespassing - Authorized Personnel Only" zone.

Yet here was some guy with his hand in my pants pocket, my front pants pocket lights should have been flashing, alarms should have been blaring - and I didn't even notice.

How, then, could I not admire the kind of skill that had been required - so amazingly adept these guys were, so adroit. It was like a magic trick performed seamlessly, convincingly.

There was a caveat to my admiration, though, a grimace towards my own behaviour.

While they were brushing us off, I was thanking them for their help, thanking them for their kindness. As they walked away, I was standing by the condo entrance waving at them, saying good night. Gracias, amigos, I called and waved.

One of the men turned around and waved back and even in the evening darkness, I could see him smiling, see the white flash of his teeth, as he called back. At the time, I thought he was saying 'Your welcome, senor’.

I wonder, though, if he was maybe saying something else.

SaskTel reaches Halfway Mark of its 5G Cellular Network Rollout

O

n June 7, 2024 SaskTel announced that it recently reached another major milestone on the deployment of its advanced 5G wireless network. Since first launching its 5G network in parts of Regina in late 2021, SaskTel has successfully upgraded half of its provincial wireless network to 5G technology. As of today, SaskTel’s 5G network consists of more than 520 cell sites and covers nearly 85% of Saskatchewan residents.

“Our government is thrilled with the progress SaskTel has made in bringing the amazing speed and power of its 5G network to the people of Saskatchewan,” said Dustin Duncan, Minister Responsible for SaskTel. “For individuals and families, the rollout of SaskTel’s 5G network means enhanced connectivity and greater access to important services and opportunities. For businesses, 5G is a gateway to innovation, enabling more efficient operations, increased productivity, and new opportunities for growth.”

"This milestone marks a significant step forward in our ambitious deployment of 5G and further demonstrates our unwavering commitment to being the best at connecting our customers to what matters most to them,” said Charlene Gavel, SaskTel President and CEO. “While we are excited with our progress so far, we recognize this is just one of many milestones in our ongoing journey to build a brighter and more connected future for our customers and province as a whole.”

Carbon Tax Coverup

ustin Trudeau and his Environment Minister, Steven Guilbeault, have been caught in a lie.

For years, they told Canadians that the carbon tax was somehow making them richer, while hiding a secret internal report that proved that their carbon tax will cost Canadians $30.5 billion each year.

That works out to $1,824 per family in extra annual costs. As a direct consequence of Trudeau’s carbon tax, life has become unaffordable.

Families will have to pay $700 more for groceries this year, while millions of Canadians are lining up outside of food banks. In Toronto, one in ten people are having to rely on food banks to survive.

This NDP-Liberal Government has been lying to Canadians and forcing them to suffer while hiding the truth their carbon tax will cost families nearly $2,000 per year, and that they get back less than they pay in.

Despite knowing the harm they are causing, the Liberals hiked the carbon tax on April 1st and have persistently refused to pause it whenever Conservatives try to give Canadians some temporary relief, like a summer break from their punitive tax so families can have a road trip.

“The continued expansion of SaskTel’s 5G network is another pivotal step toward empowering more communities across the province, driving digital transformation, and paving the way for a future where connectivity fuels progress,” said Stephen Wiktorski, Head of Networks, Samsung Canada. “Samsung is proud to stand by SaskTel on this journey and we look forward to further supporting the growth of the network, prosperity, and innovation throughout Saskatchewan.”

Delivering hyper-fast data speeds reaching up to 1.2 Gigabits per second (Gbps), SaskTel’s 5G network will continue to evolve to meet the growing needs of customers. Moreover, as the network continues to mature it will support technological advancements in remote healthcare, education, agriculture, resource management, and many other industries and sectors that are important to the economic prosperity and standard of living across Saskatchewan.

The continued expansion of its 5G and fibre networks are a direct result of SaskTel's commitment to invest nearly $440 million of capital throughout Saskatchewan in 2024/25 and more than $2 billion over the next five years. These investments will ensure Saskatchewan remains one of the most well-connected provinces in the country.

Kelly Block MP June 17, 2024

All this so that they could take the money earned by hardworking Canadians to fund their corrupt and bloated government.

The extent of this coverup only came to light when the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) told Canadians that Trudeau had placed a gag order on his office.

The Liberals even attacked the PBO for telling the truth.

Now, because of the pressure from Common Sense Conservatives, this Liberal Government was finally forced to reveal the true damage their tax is causing the Canadian economy.

Justin Trudeau and Steven Guilbeault lied to Canadians and his Liberal Government cannot be trusted to be honest. Trudeau needs to fire his Environment Minister, axe the tax and start governing this country with common sense, for the good of the common people.

Under the leadership of Pierre Poilievre, my Conservative colleagues and I will continue to push the Liberals to meet these demands until after the next election, when Conservatives get into government and start working for Canadians.

Please remember when placing bags of leaves in the alley to leave them untied.

Council will be teaming up with the Grade 7 class from the Vanscoy School on a project they have been working on.

‘STAY-cation’ Car Show

T

his July marks the 10th annual Back 40 Show & Shine in Delisle. The Back 40 Show & Shine started as part of the Delisle Days and Rodeo in 2014. The show was located at the AGT arena parking lot, and soon after, out grew that location. In 2017 the show moved to 2nd Street East in front of the schools.

When the Delisle Days Committee decided to join the Vanscoy Ag Society to create Fall Fest with a later September date, the Back 40 Show & Shine decided to go out on it's own to keep the July date to due to it's popularity among the local car community. With the continued growth of the show, in 2021 the Show & Shine moved to 1st Street West in front of the business allowing the local stores to add to the experience of the Show & Shine.

The largest attendance was in 2023 with 172 vehicles registered that day. What sets this show apart from most, is that Back 40 Embroidery designs a new logo every year and imprints the logo on t-shirts, hoodies, blankets, cups and hats. These items are given away, as door prizes, to each person who registers a vehicle.

As mentioned the logo is unique to each show, used on the poster and on the door prizes. The very first show did not have it's car on the poster, so it was decided to have the 2014 logo to come back for the 2024 show. This car has special significance to the owners of Back 40 Embroidery, a 1956 Ford Fairlane that was owned and restored by one of the owners of Back 40 Embroidery's father. This years show is set for Saturday, July 13th, 2024.
