Two members of the Saskatoon Police Service are facing a charge of common assault following a traffic stop last November.
Constables Cailin Link and Angela McDade conducted the traffic stop. The man operating the vehicle was arrested for obstructing officers. No injuries occurred as a result of the arrest. The vehicle operator later made a complaint to the Saskatoon Police Service who then notified the Saskatchewan Public Complaints Commission. A formal investigation was conducted with oversight by the commission and, in consultation with Crown Prosecutors, charges of common assault were recommended.
The Constables have been reassigned to administrative duties pending the outcome of court proceedings.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
