CEO Tim Reid out at REAL

I’m here on scene at Luiggi’s pasta house on Albert Street in Regina. Fire trucks, police and SaskEnergy remain on scene at what officials have described as an explosive event. A vehicle is buried in the rubble of a wall and three minor injuries were reported.

@Thompson_LG Hi Laurence, I'm the journalist who wrote this and appreciate your comments. Would you be able to send me a message or an email? dayne.patterson@cbc.ca.

A better option might be to have a travelling MRI, as has been used in Alberta, including Lloydminster. This could bring services closer to home in several rural areas, rather than only one. 5/5

@SKGov actually showed wisdom in declining a private donation to purchase an MRI in Estevan. Here’s why: 1. The real expense & challenge of new infrastructure is ongoing operation more than capital cost. An MRI has to be housed & staffed at govt cost. 1/x cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

Important reporting from @n_frew on the number of boarded up properties in Regina. There were 146 boarded-up properties in North Central and 41 in Heritage as of April, the city says. #YQRCC cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

News is known to be about conflict and things happening around the world that are not-so-good. Can someone tell me why are people so upset about a lighthearted story that takes a break from that?

Here's how Regina went from a Latin word meaning queen to a city name that can be the butt of a vulgar joke #YQR #YQRCC cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

For the record: Mayor Sandra Masters is not holding a press conference to specifically address Experience Regina. She holds a post-council or post-executive committee scrum every week that there is a meeting.

Latest from @DaynePatterson_ on the Experience Regina rebrand. Coun. Cheryl Stadnichuk told CBC this afternoon that promoting the inappropriate slogans "seems like a violation of any kind of decency." cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

Brown Communications Group confirms it worked on the Experience Regina rebrand but says it did not have any involvement in the slogans.

The ref is doing one of two things: 1) Waving off a potential goal. 2) Emphatically quoting the line "If you're a bird, I'm a bird" from The Notebook in response to the goalie's sprawling save.

Who would have thought leaf blowers could lift you off the ground? @SaskPolytech students, apparently. No, I didn't get the chance to ride one. Yes, I should have asked.
