Six In The Morning

1 MEET THE DOWNTOWN PLAN The long-awaited final version of the downtown plan arrived yesterday. It's pretty and has lots of photographs. (Fun game to play: see how many times you can spot prairie dog's editor in the inch-thick tome. So far, I've found myself twice.) The City's Bob Bjerke is giving a technical briefing right now (started at 10:30) at City Hall, and there's a Regina Planning commission meeting at 11:45. Here's the link on the City's web site. Dog Blog posts will follow.

2 HARPER'S CONS SURVIVE VOTE And Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff is all scoffy at the NDP and the Bloc for propping up the government (The Globe And Mail). You realize, dude, that you're the one who crapped all over the coalition the Liberals had with those parties, right? Just checking to make sure you remember that.

3 TALK TO THE BANDS the Uranium Development Partnership report says there need to be special efforts to communicate with Sask First Nations and indiginous people about any nuclear power plans. (StarPhoenix)

4 POWER BILLS GOING DOWN? Apparently SaskEnergy is planning a rate reduction. (Leader-Post)

5 CABINET MINISTER REPORTEDLY LOVES HER ALLEGEDLY COCAINE-POSSESSING HUSBAND The Conservative's Helena Guergis is apparently standing by her man. (Toronto Star)

6 JUST US AND QUEBEC We're one of two provinces where consumer prices went up last year. yay? (CBC)

4. "Energy", not "Power". Power bills will only go up, probably more than double once Wall starts building a nuclear power plant. At the very least, we need to replace thousands of power poles.
