He’s lying about the impetus for the hateful Parental Bill of Rights that he’s (illegally) using to cancel Charter Rights of children.

That’s a fancy word for insincerely idiotic. If Premier Moe listened to CBC radio or had staff who did to explain it to him, he'd not sound like a perplexed GD maroon all the time. That's just a theory, he could be too stupid.https://t.co/3j0o5xNSCU #skpoli — Saskboy from Saskatchewan (@saskboy)

An evergreen headline, because the war basically never ends.
