Saskatoon Police say their officers deployed a taser or Conducted Energy Weapon when they responded to a disturbance call at the BriefDetox Unit at the Lighthouse. Shortly after 1 this (mon) morning, officers were taking an intoxicated man into the BDU when staff members asked for help in dealing with a resident at the Lighthouse who they felt needed to be placed in the BriefDetox Unit. Police say the man was extremely uncooperative and aggressive with the officers and allegedly lunged at officers and threatened to poke them with a dirty needle. A CEW was deployed with what is described as little effect and it took three officers to subdue the man. In total three officers deployed their CEWs five times, and all five efforts were ineffective. The man was taken to hospital for treatment from the effects of unknown drug consumption. He is expected to appear before a judge today.

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.”
