Fugitive suspect in Saskatchewan stabbing rampage is dead
www.cbc.ca - The main suspect in the recent stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan has died shortly after being captured, multiple sources have confirmed to CBC News.
Myles Sanderson was arrested Wednesday afternoon and was taken into police custody near Rosthern, Sask., at about 3:30 p.m. CST Wednesday, according to RCMP.
Around 3:00 p.m. CST, Saskatchewan RCMP issued an emergency alert about a person with a knife travelling in a vehicle, last seen in Wakaw, about 90 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.
RCMP told people in the Wakaw area to seek shelter immediately and shelter in place. They warned people to be cautious about letting others into their residence, to not approach suspicious persons or pick up hitchhikers.
The stabbing rampage left 10 people dead and another 18 injured in 13 different crime scenes in the James Smith Cree Nation area and in the nearby village of Weldon, Sask.
Man says Sanderson broke into his mother’s house, stole her vehicle
CBC News spoke with a man who says Sanderson broke into his mother’s rural property, about 30 kilometres north of Wakaw, on Wednesday around 2 p.m. CST, less that two hours before his arrest.
CBC has agreed not to name the woman or her son because she was the victim of an alleged crime. The woman is extremely shaken up by what happened, according to her son.
The son said his mother, a widow, saw Sanderson walk up to the front door, so she locked it and ran to the bathroom in her bedroom.
The son said Sanderson kicked down the front door and went into the bedroom. The son said Sanderson was armed with a knife, but told the woman that he wouldn’t hurt her.
Sanderson took the keys to the woman’s truck, along with her cellphone, cigarettes, water and a Pepsi, the son said.
Sanderson asked the woman to go with him, according to her son, but she refused.
When Sanderson left the property, the woman called RCMP using a landline, the son said.
Immense relief
Before news of his death, people expressed immense relief that Sanderson was caught.
Darryl Burns, brother of Lydia Gloria Burns, a front-line worker who died in the rampage, said the family can now prepare for his sister’s return and is planning a wake for her tonight.
The Saskatoon Tribal Council (STC) also said in a statement before the arrest that it’s relieved Sanderson has been arrested.
“Now people can start to feel safe again but also now is the time for healing to begin,” said STC Chief Mark Arcand, who lost his sister and nephew in the attacks.
Dennis Helmuth, mayor of Rosthern, which is about six kilometres from where the arrest was made, told CBC News Network the town is feeling some comfort today.
“Mostly a feeling of relief and I think incredible sadness is going to become dominant as we continue to come to grips with what has happened in our province,” he said.

Saying “Thank You” to Summer
Say, “Thank you.” Those two important words are so embedded in us as children that we continue to pass the gesture of politesse to the next generation as part of the social drill.
My mom was no exception. At a young age, she taught me to get in step every year when my great-aunt Miriam sent me a birthday card with crisp $1 bills inside, equaling to my years. Since she lived miles away, I couldn't just “say” thank you. Instead, Mom shared her stationery and showed me how to write, address and stamp a handwritten note to my great-aunt.
Sure, it’s easier nowadays to give thanks with an email or a text, but the handwritten word does so much more. Expressing gratitude with pen on paper says something about how the thankful person went out of his or her way to do something extra special. That’s why Wendy Brown, former video producer and mom of three, is passionate about handwritten thank-you notes. She started her inspiring blog and unique, online paper goods boutique dedicated to the art of handwriting (www.brownink.com).
down and relish the power in handwriting and the excitement of receiving a note, especially one that says, ‘Thanks,’” she says.
Here are two ideas for doing just that with young kids, as they reflect and write personalized thank-you notes of appreciation to summer camp counselors, coaches, relatives and friends.
— Preschoolers: Set out a piece of paper, fold it in half and let your preschooler stamp or attach stickers of images on the front side of the paper that are symbolic of things they enjoyed doing with the recipients, such as eating ice cream cones, going to the beach or catching fish off a dock. Prompt your child to dictate a thankyou message that you write inside.
— School-age kids: Young school-
At the age of five, her mom gave her personalized stationary, and she was hooked. To this day, her prized possessions are shoeboxes filled with letters to and from family, notes to friends and travel journals. “There has never been a more important time to slow
age kids will have fun choosing and printing out their favorite summer photos from your computer and gluing the small prints on paper. Encourage them to write words around each photo, describing the activities they did together with the person they are thanking. Show them how to sign, address and stamp the envelope.

When Saskatchewan needed it most, wind power failed to perform on Aug. 30. While coal was maxed out, and hydro was close, wind power generation was minimal. Thankfully, natural gas capacity was there.
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.
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.
“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.”
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.
The wind was blowing hard on Thursday, when temperatures hit 35 C in southern Saskatchewan. As Pipeline Online observed, it was blowing so hard that the wind turbines at Assiniboia were likely running close to their maximum capacity, with wind gusts nearly 60 kilometres per hour. But that wasn’t the case the day before, when SaskPower set a new summer peak electricity demand record at 5:14 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 31.
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
The new summer demand record for electricity was 3,597 megawatts. The new mark is 46 MW higher than the previous record of 3,551 megawatts, which was set earlier this summer on July 13. With temperatures well above 30 Celsius expected to continue throughout Saskatchewan into next week, it is possible another new summer record could be set, SaskPower said on Thursday.

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.
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.
consumption, and higher peaks are a sign of the growing demand for power in Saskatchewan,” said Kory Hayko, SaskPower Vice-President of Transmission and Industrial Services, in a release. “Demand will continue to grow in the coming years, and SaskPower is making significant investments in the grid to ensure that need is met with reliable and sustainable power.”
“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.”
This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.
At that time of the peak, SaskPower was getting just 29 megawatts from its eight wind facilities, most of which operated under power purchase agreements. Saskatchewan has a total of 615 megawatts of nameplate wind power capacity, meaning that when the demand was highest, wind was generating just 4.7 per cent of its installed capacity.
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 weather tends to track from west to east, it probably wasn’t much of as surprise, as the day before, Alberta saw its wind power generation drop to 0.5 per cent of its capacity at 4:08 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 30. At that time, Alberta was producing just 13 megawatts out of a nameplate capacity of 2,589 megawatts.

“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply
At the moment SaskPower hit its most recent summer peak electricity demand record, this is where the power was coming from, in megawatts. Graphic courtesy SaskPowerSaskatchewan has just started to build out grid-scale solar power. However, what is in place wasn’t putting out much during the moment of peak consumption on Aug. 31. At that time, with the sun lower in the sky, just five megawatts was coming from solar faculties. SaskPower lists 20 megawatts of nameplate capacity between two grid-scale facilities, and another 49 from “Customer generated solar capacity.” It is unclear if that five megawatts was from just the two grid-scale facilities, or all solar combined.
Coal, however, was producing the most power in Saskatchewan, at 1390 megawatts. That’s actually one megawatt more than the combined listed capacity of SaskPower’s three coal facilities, according to SaskPower’s grid map.
Natural gas was second, at 1,231 megawatts. As our total natural gas capacity is 2,160 megawatts, there was still some additional capacity.
Hydro contributed 705 megawatts. Our maximum hydro capacity, including 23 megawatts in the far north, is 864 megawatts.
Saskatchewan was importing 237 megawatts from its neighbours.
At that same moment, Alberta was importing 58 megawatts from Saskatchewan. Reliable AB Energy (@ ReliableAB) is a Twitter bot which makes hourly tweets using publicly available data from the Alberta Electric System Operator, which itself posts minute-by-minute data on the Alberta grid. SaskPower does not post such data publicly. Reliably AB’s tweet at 5:15 p.m., one minute after Saskatchewan’s peak, showed Saskatchewan was exporting 58 megawatts to Alberta at the same time it was importing 237 megawatts.
Such exchanges are common, as Saskatchewan is almost always exporting some power to Alberta, if you follow the Alberta Electric System Operator site here. While Alberta is typically importing power from British Columbia, Montana and Saskatchewan, occasionally it sends power the other way.

After much deliberation, the Crisis Centre staff have decided to postpone the “One Magical Evening” fundraiser featuring Matt Gore, better known as The Ginger Ninja, and scheduled for September 9, 2022.
