I posted an ad of sorts to try and drum up some information/tips/stories for this blog. I do eventually want it to be Saskatoon's source for dirt and info and reviews. Well...I got my first reply!

Hello! The following is a reply to your "Your info/ideas!" Ad on Kijiji:
From: xxxx@hotmail.ca
You must have too much time on your hands! Find something useful to do instead of gossip!
Nice! Oh, and I tried to reply, but seems it was just a fake e-mail! WHO has the time to a) cruise personals on Kijiji, and b) make a fake email up to reply to an ad??? Ha!

Traffic Woes....
Saskatoon is a maze of detours and closed streets on a good day, but yesterday may have proved the breaking point for many drivers here in the city. The 103 year old Traffic bridge was closed around 4 PM to both motor and pedestrian traffic for safety reasons. 4 pm, most downton zombies are about to make their way across that bridge, or across otehr in the city to get to their not-downtown homes.
I was told by one woman, who's flight arrived in Saskatoon around 4:30PM, it took her over an hour and a half to get home to the south east side of the city. Now that is what traffic is like in say Toronto, or Montreal. But this is Saskatoon! Rush hour is when the person at the front of the line is checking Facebook on their phone and doesn't immediately go when the light turns green, or when everyone stops at the 4 way stop at the same time and are too polite to go first( personal aside here, I honestly come to a rolling stop to purposely stop last to avoid awkwardness at these stop signs).
But the City had to do what it had to do...it just came at the absolute WORST time. Luckily I can avoid downltown and that entire area.

Dustin LaFortune Case!
So I won't lie, I love a good twisted story. If it is true, all the better. In May the story broke about 26 year old Dustin LaFortune. He was dumped off at RGH, terribly beaten, tortured, emaciated, and nearly dead. My curiosity immediately peaked. So I joined the Facebook support group to find out more, and soon something started smelling funny. So I turned to my ally Google and found Gangster's Out. WOW! Now that is some fascinating reading material. 6 days, and I was caught up. Now, granted, the majority of the information there was all based on speculation, but it really shone a different light on the situation.
Must say a big thank you to Agent K, to Wiccan Outlaw, to Shannon, to the others for keeping me up to date. I never posted on the blog, but I still follow it at its new location. AWESOME JOB!
Anyways here is the latest as of today on the story.
UPDATE:
Dustin Paxton has been arrested without incident in Edmonton. looks like the fuzz had their eyes on him the entire time and were just looking to make their move when the warrants were issued!
