It's a sowing of lies by the government. It's obvious, and needs to be called what it is. It's reckless disregard for lives, and policies that worked 8 months ago to slow the #pandemic in Saskatchewan. #CloseTheSchools, bars, and return to Stage 1 or 2 of #ReOpenSK. #skpoli — Saskboy

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: More Infections and Elections
The news around the world has been more awful than usual, with the President of the USA purportedly getting over his COVID-19 infection, while on dexamethasone (a powerful, potentially mind altering steroid) threatening to kiss guys in the crowd of his maskless rally. This is astonishing. Almost every state that’s

Miscellaneous material to start your week. – Robert Reich discusses how Donald Trump’s insistence on pushing reopening without a plan to alleviate an ongoing pandemic has led to disaster both for the U.S.’ economy and its public health. And the Economist highlights the need to make basic health precautions into
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Is The Sask Party A Cult?
It’s hard to deny that the Sask Party could be a cult. I'm trying to think of a scenario where your Conservative supporters would not vote for your candidates. You could probably kill someone, go bankrupt, and increase air pollution and they'd still vote for you.Oh, wait, they will because

Miscellaneous material for your mid-week reading. – Thomas Walkom writes about the Libs’ dangerous efforts to turn the page on COVID-19 as Canada’s primary political concern. – Murray Mandryk highlights how Scott Moe’s budget accomplishes nothing either to address our immediate crisis, or to chart a long-term course for Saskatchewan.

Assorted content to end your week. – Linda McQuaig writes about the policies which were needed to sustain us through the COVID-19 crisis so far – but whose success can lay the groundwork for a fair and inclusive economy for the future: For years, we’ve submitted to the economic orthodoxy

The reckless and callous Sask Party prepares on Monday to start the calculated risk AKA killing process. Because golf is literally more important than some guy’s grandma, amirite? More than 400 sick health care workers in the biggest city west of our capital city. No biggie, I guess?#SlowMoe has killed

It’s no surprise to most reading this that I have a low opinion of Saskatchewan’s Premier. He’s an unlovable oaf. He’s never been elected by the general electorate to be Premier, and his party takes corrupt corporate donations. Yet he gets lots of media support from Rawlco and other big
Continue readingAccidental Deliberations: On absenteeism
The U.S. has seen some of its state elections turned into anti-democratic abominations by the absence of effective absentee balloting – with the lack of effective voting serving as an explicit strategy by Republicans to exclude people from exercising their right to vote. Fortunately, Saskatchewan doesn’t have the extreme exclusions

I don’t think I’ve ever called for a Minister to resign before, while on the radio, but Duncan should definitely quit screwing up Saskatchewan, SaskPower, and our environment. You and I definitely outproduce the Crown utility's renewable solar power production from their own panels. We also produce more #solar power

The Premier of Saskatchewan has posted a Confederate flag on his Twitter account. One whole day later and he still hasn’t deleted this. — Michael Poos (@michaelpoos) July 23, 2019 Your position now would seem to suggest that ReTweeting the Premier was a mistake? pic.twitter.com/dCUOMC0hI8 — Saskboy (@saskboy) July 23,

NEW: Elections Canada says it will monitor provincial government interventions in the federal campaign https://t.co/J8UfrINIlR #onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli — Marieke Walsh (@MariekeWalsh) June 13, 2019 What’s that mean? You’ve heard the Con Premiers like Ford and Moe and Kenney are all threatening Trudeau, saying if he doesn’t do impossible things

The only thing Moe can sustain is a non-stop stream of BS. Hot dog guy at ballpark; “I’ve been here all season, done a lot of hard work, talked to many people. I’d say winning the World Series is my best accomplishment to date”. — Clare Hecla (@hitaskunk) May 24,

Have our old school (atrophied) political parties misjudged the issue of climate change? I think so. The worst part is that they haven’t merely shot themselves in the foot. They were pointing that gun considerably higher. This isn’t about Paul Manly and the Green’s by-election win yesterday in Nanaimo-Ladysmith. It’s
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: Ford Says Ontario Has Done Enough.
At least there’s something Doug Ford can thank his Liberal predecessor for – cutting Ontario’s greenhouse gas emissions. He’s positively boastful about that, to the point where he’s shining an unwanted light on his anti-climate tax comrades, Kenney and Moe. Doug Ford’s government in Ontario is now insisting the province

A sorry excuse for a rally is under way in Regina today. It’s a grouchy band of malcontents and [muted] racists who share a dislike for science and the Prime Minister. Shame on the Premier for associating with #climatechange Deniers and promoting their protest against science and against pollution reduction.#skpoli

In the days around the time @SKGov shut down STC, I was on the phone with Greyhound Canada (PR people in Texas), trying to get an answer for why they weren't stepping into the role. It was apparent the SK Gov't hadn't spoken with Greyhound to get us coach bus

This is what it’s like to live in Saskatchewan with Premier Moe. What it's like seeing your carjacker shoot himself in the leg with a shotgun while going 140 km/h https://t.co/hbhRk0YPO9 — CBC Saskatchewan (@CBCSask) November 20, 2018 I think people in Ontario can sympathize the best.

Saskatchewan’s Premier literally thinks that raw resources are more important than our people and their future here in Saskatchewan. Why is his badly typed meme using a federal NDP campaign plane to talk about provincial NDP travel? Could it be that his travel expenses are ridiculous, full of evasive photo
