Estevan

And, you know, the big thing was, You know, we had our tragedy with Hunter and his injury.

And, you know, we came back and played against Estevan and, you know, right in our third road game in a row into Central.

And, you know, we just talked to the guys about, you know, being a tight-knit group.

And, you know, we'll take our football family over anybody's football family.

Triple-A hockey tonight.

Saskatoon Contacts and Colby Armstrong's boy in town to take on the Pat Seas, who they boat-raced Saturday, 7.45 at the Sixer.

Yorkton is in Notre Dame, 7.30. S.J. Nippewin hosting Estevan, LaRonges, and Warman.

Weyburn's at Melfort.

And yeah, John Mulville put out a record on Laps earlier this year, Light Behind Me, and we heard the title track from that one.

And before that, Estevan, Saskatchewan-based Michael Scott Dawson.

He's got two new records out on We Are Busy Bodies, and we heard a track from Kitsune no Yomiri Record inspired by a recent tour to Japan and Spring Rains there.

We heard the track Standard Blue from that one.

i i just i don't know love to hear your thoughts brian i think it's it's gonna bankrupt us all

i'm gonna get on my soapbox here for a minute and i'll try to keep it short because i only spent 36 hours typing five stories about it this week the lead one was only 5 000 words and i got another excuse me five to go yet here's the deal uh First of all, almost all of the other media got it wrong in that they reported that there would be one SMR at Estevan, which would look like this.

The reality is the plan is for two, because when you take 600 megawatts, divide by 300 megawatts, you get two reactors.

Math is hard for some journalists, apparently.

Now, depending on the model that the, the province chooses, each of these large nuclear reactors could produce anywhere from 1,000 to 1,200 n- uh, megawatts of nuclear power generation, and that's significantly higher than the 300-megawatt small modular reactors that the province has been talking about that they're gonna be putting somewhere in the south, uh, of the province.

Uh, if you're doing the math, this is, uh, that's two large nuclear reactors and, uh, in the northwest, and likely two small modular reactors in the Estevan area.

Uh, of course, there are still massive questions about this.

We don't know where we're gonna be building these two large reactors.

So if you wanna shut down every school, every hospital, uh, every tri- Kevin Weidmark trip to wherever, and everything that government pays for in, for three years, I guess we can afford the, uh, these kind of nuclear reactors.

Otherwise, we better have a conversation about how much they actually cost and what actual benefit w- they have of this.

Like, I mean, even if you're someone from Estevan who's worried about the loss of coal and your job in the coal field, understand that this is likely going to replace all the, uh, existing coal fields.

These are big conversations, uh, to have about how our system works and everything else.
