Kindersley RCMP were kept busy this past weekend with several calls for service including a semi rollover near Glidden. At approximately 8:35 p.m. on Saturday June 11th members of both Kindersley RCMP and Rosetown Traffic Services attended a report of a semi rollover on Highway #21 just outside of Glidden. When members arrived on scene they discovered the truck was hauling cattle. The driver of the truck had minor injuries and was treated at scene. The highway had to be closed for a period of time to deal with the cattle and moving the semi off the road.
In addition to the vehicle rollover, Kindersley RCMP responded to a further 41 calls for service from June 6th to 12th which included, but was not limited to, five traffic com-
plaints, two assaults, and one wellbeing check.

Fresh Strawberry Arugula Salad
I'm obsessed with fresh strawberries right now. Sweet to the taste and bright red to the eye, this luscious berry can be tossed into just about anything to turn an ordinary meal into a celebration. Enjoy this prime strawberry season with me, and head out to a pick-yourown field or farmer's market. En route, challenge your family to think of all
Young kids can prep the berries and greens for this simple salad.
I like to use strawberries as a garnish; I toss them, along with fresh mint, into a chilled pitcher of water, and I'm always incorporating them in supper salads using other fresh local produce, nuts and cheese.
Here is a simple salad that's a headliner on our Father's Day lunch menu. Young kids can prep the berries and peppery arugula while you quickly toast the pecans in a pan on the stove.
STRAWBERRY
ARUGULA SALAD
1½ cups fresh strawberries
1½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup pecan halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups loosely packed baby arugula leaves*
1/2 cup crumbled mild feta cheese (optional)
1. Let school-age kids wash, hull, dry and halve the strawberries. Place in a bowl and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the balsamic vinegar. Set aside for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, an adult should toast the pecans in a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat. Shake the pan to avoid overscorching until the nuts are fragrant and lightly browned. Cool completely.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Add strawberries, arugula and pecans, and toss. Taste and season as needed.
4. Divide mixture on individual plates, and dot with the feta cheese, if you wish. Serves 4.
*Substitute half of the arugula with fresh spinach for a milder flavor.
the ways you can use your bountiful baskets of juicy berries. As kids shout out their favorites, such as strawberries and waffles, peanut butter and strawberry-jam sandwiches and strawberry ice-cream cones, you'll discover how the versatile berries can be worked into any meal of the day.
Back home, learn new ways to use your bounty — like stirring up strawberry-rhubarb jam or strawberry salsa.

Brian Zinchuk: I may have to register as a journalist and news organization with Facebook, and that deeply concerns me
Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK brian.zinchuk@pipelineonline.ca
I may have no choice but to register as a journalist and a news company with Facebook/Meta.
Not only was Saskatchewan setting electrical consumption records during the cold snap of last week of December, we also set two consecutive natural gas consumption records, too.
And that deeply concerns me.
On June 13, I wrote about how I wished to “boost” a post on Facebook. The post was on the Pipeline Online Facebook page and the particular post was to a news story on PipelineOnline.ca.
According to SaskEnergy in a Dec. 31 release, “Extreme cold weather across Saskatchewan this week resulted in record-breaking natural gas demand in the province. On December 28 and 29, natural gas consumption surpassed the previous daily record of 1.57 petajoules (PJ) which was set in February 2021.
That story was “Poilievre speaks of the consequences of the relentless ideological drive to attack the energy sector.”
“A new daily record of 1.62 PJ was set on December 28 and broken again on December 29 with total system delivery of 1.64 PJ. Delivery numbers for December 30 and 31 are not yet finalized, but are also expected to exceed 1.6 PJ.”
And Facebook/Meta rejected the ad. I elaborate on it here.
This, of course, led to some discussion on, what else, but Facebook. Why? Because there are no other choices, really.
The natural gas records coincided with record power consumption. On Dec. 29, SaskPower set another record in power consumption for Saskatchewan. At 5:27 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2021, Saskatchewan homes and businesses reached 3,868 megawatts (MW) in power use, according to the Crown corporation. The previous record of 3,792 MW was reached four years ago to the day, on Dec. 29, 2017.
Saskatchewan’s power production has increasingly shifted from coal to natural gas as a fuel source. In December, Boundary Dam Unit 4, a coal-fired generating unit, was retired, reducing the Boundary Dam Power Station to 672 megawatts capacity. On the natural gas side, Saskatchewan has seen the construction of several new natural gas-fired power plants. They include the baseload North Battleford Power Station (289 megawatts), Yellowhead Power Station peaking plant (also at North Battleford, 135 megawatts), the baseload Chinook Power Station at Swift Current (353 megawatts) and peaking plant Spy Hill Power Station (89 megawatts). Another 353 megawatt baseload
Facebook controls the field, the umpire, the bat, the ball, the rules and the rising of the sun in their universe. And the problem is there really is no way around it. There are no other true options. You can say there are, but the reality is otherwise. Which is why I was having this discussion on that very platform.
One of the people arguing with me pointed out, “You can register your site with search engines and pay for advertising on the internet. There are hundreds of millions of sites you can pay for advertising on the internet. You have zero right to tell a private business what to do just because it’s in your best “business” interests. That is ridiculous.

plant, very similar to Chinook, is under construction at Moose Jaw.
All of this added natural gas-fired power generation has, in turn, driven higher usage of natural gas during times of high electrical consumption.
The Crown noted that increased demand from SaskEnergy’s industrial customers, including natural gas use for power production, was the main driver of this week’s record-setting consumption.
You are wading into a political campaign with biased opinions. They are asking you to justify your desire to promote your opinions on their property. You are taking a very entitled opinion here. Private businesses have a legal right. They are asking nothing of you that they are not asking of journalists and reliable media outlets world wide.”
I pointed out that I published the entirety of a speech given by the leading candidate to replace the prime minister. That was the story. The whole story. There was no commentary in it. It was a news story.
SaskEnergy said it measures daily natural gas consumption for the 24-hour period from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. A PJ is a unit of measurement equivalent to one million gigajoules (GJ) of natural gas. An average Saskatchewan home consumes about 100 GJ of natural gas each year.
“SaskEnergy’s natural gas system design can accommodate additional capacity to manage increased consumption even on peak days,” SaskEnergy president and CEO Ken From said in a release. “Throughout the year, SaskEnergy employees inspect, maintain and enhance the system to support safe and reliable natural gas delivery in all weather conditions. In addition, employees monitor the system 24 hours a day to ensure sufficient system capacity to meet customer demand across the province.”
And it wasn’t some kook in a tin foil hat spouting conspiracy theories. It was a speech to the largest sector in the Canadian economy – energy – on its home turf by a leading candidate.
Facebook is more than a private business. It is the de facto town square and common carrier in the 2020s. That carries a lot more then the usual “private business” argument.
This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.
When natural gas prices took a tumble roughly 14 years ago, Saskatchewan’s domestic gas production fell off a cliff. Targeted gas drilling went essentially extinct, with next to no gas-specific wells being drilled in this province for most of the past decade. Our domestic gas production is now largely based on associated gas production that comes with oil production. As a result, Saskatchewan went from being a net gas exporter for the period of 1988 to 2009 to a net importer that year.
As for the argument that journalists have to register for accreditation in other venues, like the Centennial Cup or the Parliamentary Press Gallery, there is a profound difference here. I was a member of the press gallery for the Saskatchewan Legislature. I’ve covered other events requiring accreditation. At no time was I told what I could or could not report, say, or advertise. In this case, an ad promoting a news story about the words of the man with the best shot at being the next prime minister was expressly rejected.
If Poilievre’s speech is verboten, then what the hell is allowed? Who, among us, can say anything?
And we have history to show what happens in this situation. I strongly encourage you to read Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can read it for free right now on your Kindle app.
Very shortly after the Nazis came to power in Germany, journalists were required to register with the Ministry of Propaganda. It was known as the “Editors Law.” You can see a post about it from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum here.
“The German Propaganda Ministry (through its Reich Press Chamber) assumed control over the Reich Association of the German Press, the guild which regulated entry into the profession. Under the new Editors Law, the association kept registries of “racially pure” editors and journalists, and excluded Jews and those married to Jews from the profession. Propaganda Ministry officials expected editors and journalists, who had to register with the Reich Press Chamber to work in the field, to follow mandates and specific instructions handed down by the ministry. In paragraph 14 of the law, the regime required editors to omit from publication anything “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.”
The law was enacted on Oct. 4, 1933, within months of the Nazis coming to power.
But Brian, you’re surely overreacting, aren’t you? After all, “Godwin’s Law” says that any threaded online discussion will eventually lead to comparisons to Nazis. In other words, if you mention Nazis, you’re obviously a kook, and should be discredited as such.
This comes at a time when the federal Liberal government under Justin Trudeau is seeking to bring in legislation, Bill C-11 to “control all that you see and here online,” according to National Post columnist Jesse Kline.
This is scary stuff. My ad rejection happened before Bill C-11 is enacted. What happens after? That was an ad. What about the story itself? Can it be rejected?
Such ads are now disallowed speech in what is effectively the town square of not only the nation, but the world.
As I said, there are no other real options. Twitter doesn’t come close. The same with LinkedIn, as the general public isn’t there. YouTube, owned by Google, demonetizes anything that it considers in the least bit controversial.
Meta owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatApp. Facebook has 2.93 billion users around the world. I can’t emphasise this enough: They are the town square.
I am an independent journalist, with my own independent news website. I ask hard questions and provide depth few other media do. I have, among my columnists, a former premier of Saskatchewan, business executive, oil and gas analyst, geologist, service rig owner, wellsite supervisor, University of Regina professor, business owner, podcaster, retired editor/communications specialist, the head of the Petroleum Technology Research Centre, and more to come. I carry additional copy from the Canadian Press and Associated Press. Pipeline Online is not just some guy with a blog, but a real news and opinion source with many Saskatchewan voices. If this was the 20th century, I might own a printing press. Today, it’s a website. But it’s real and legitimate news serving an underserviced sector of our economy.
And I don’t like the idea of having ads regarding my stories vetted, and rejected, by big social media. Will they reject stories next? That makes me really concerned about registering as a journalist with said big social media. If my stories don’t fit their mould, which has already been proven, then what?
In order to survive, I may not have a choice but to register with them. So much for speech being free.

• Thank him for listening to your joys, disappointments and dreams
• Thank him for supporting you in difficult times and encouraging you every step of the way
• Thank him for giving you sound advice on important decisions, like buying your first car
