The City of Moose Jaw is going ahead with plans to build a new arena that will be home to its Western Hockey League team and cost taxpayers $34.5 million - way more than was originally expected.
Hoodin:One of the dirtiest cities I've ever visited... so much crime... I hated every second spent in edmontonRemind me never to visit Fredericton. I don't want to breathe in all the smug.Most of the crime is due to all the rig pigs who come down here from the oil patch on their week off, looking to get high and/or drunk. That, in turn, leads to other types of crime, like assault and murder. And, of...
