00:00:00.080 Hello, I'm Dave Naylor, news editor of the Western Standard.
00:00:04.800 Hope you all had a great Labor Day.
00:00:07.020 It was a busy time for us at the Standard with the terrible story that's happening in Saskatchewan.
00:00:11.960 Ten people were stabbed to death and another 18 wounded when two brothers seemingly went on a murderous rampage.
00:00:19.360 There's breaking news at the moment on that in which the surviving brother, Miles,
00:00:24.000 has apparently been spotted on the reserve where the killings took place.
00:00:28.300 Police have issued a stay-in-place order and are currently surrounding several houses in the area.
00:00:35.820 Earlier, we had a story on Miles having 59 separate criminal convictions, a lot of them very violent,
00:00:45.320 but that didn't stop him from getting parole and being out on the street,
00:00:49.640 even though his parole report said he, quote,
00:00:51.980 loses his mind, unquote, when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
00:00:56.740 Other stuff we've got going at the moment.
00:01:00.220 Candice Bergen, the interim leader of the Conservative Party,
00:01:02.820 announced today she would not be seeking election, re-election, sorry, in the next campaign.
00:01:08.440 She'll be replaced September 10th when the results come in for the Conservative Leadership Convention.
00:01:16.340 We've got the latest from Daniel Smith and the Sovereignty Act.
00:01:19.620 She released a detailed report today on what exactly the Sovereignty Act entails
00:01:24.240 and how it will affect Alberta and its relationship with Ottawa.
00:01:29.140 Our Arthur Green has the latest on the wildfire in Jasper
00:01:33.080 that has cut off electricity over the weekend to the Mountain Time site,
00:01:38.120 and they're hoping for some rain to bring that one under control.
00:01:41.420 And our Karen Selleck has the latest on bugs and why you're all going to be eating them very, very soon.
00:01:48.400 Also up on the site is an interesting story out of Ireland today,
00:01:51.940 in which a teacher was jailed, believe it or not,
00:01:55.640 for refusing to use pronouns or gender-specific pronouns.
00:01:59.960 He would not call students them when they were actually boys or girls.
00:02:03.900 So he's been thrown in the slammer for contempt of court.
00:02:06.800 That's it for now.
00:02:09.220 Obviously, we're keeping tabs on the breaking news in Saskatchewan.
