If the Sask Party split off a few MLAs to form a secondary Con party, they could fill the Official Opposition role also. This might put the NDP at an even greater disadvantage, since the questions would mostly go to a phony opposition leader’s fake party. This is part of

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Plague Of Pipelines
We have Canada's worst COVID handling, where's the Premier on that? — Saskboy from Saskatchewan (@saskboy) January 18, 2021 With Biden apparently poised to pause KXL into oblivion, Saskatchewan’s hapless Premier Moe lashes out at Trudeau. The meme, a modified Kenney cartoon, was available prior to Moe’s latest predictable bleating.

Could you imagine being Dr. Shahab right now?After standing alongside @PremierScottMoe through this health crisis and then following a racist attack, Moe refuses to condemn the attack by pussyfooting around it. How betraying. You are unfit for leadership Moe. Pathetically. https://t.co/222fr8tBrj — BLAKE BERGLUND (@blakeberglund) December 13, 2020 In case

The Calgary Homeless Foundation has just released a 12-city scan of homelessness planning during COVID. It’s a national study (which I authored). My ‘top 10’ overview of the study can be found here.

Saskatchewan has COVID-19 getting out of hand. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/27/canada-prairies-coronavirus-alberta-saskatchewan-manitoba In light of the shocking, disturbing behavior of a former politically-appointed chair of Sask health region, compounded by fact it's being directed at healthcare professionals, please check out bios & politics of our current SHA board: https://t.co/DoIdtViJp5 #demandbetter — Tammy Robert (@tammyrobert)

In short, they lied. Premier Moe is a damned dirty liar, and people are dying as a result.#COVID19SK https://t.co/X6jyZPjgKP — Saskboy from Saskatchewan (@saskboy) November 26, 2020 Yet his death didn't deserve mention at your press conference today in the official statistics? — Saskboy from Saskatchewan (@saskboy) November 26, 2020

While skirting the household gathering limit, the Sask Premier was exposed to COVID-19 in PA. The irony of Scott Moe being exposed to covid at a restaurant days after encouraging all of us to go out to restaurants is….really something. — Laura Ant (@LAChampAnt) November 23, 2020 We can now

SK Doctors: sign letter with 400 of their colleagues begging the government to do something to stop the spread of COVID-19 Sask. Party: Okay, we’re listening. No more hookah lounges. — Eric Bell (@eric_bellMB) November 13, 2020 New SK Covid Guidelines:– no more than 27 in a phone booth– no

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

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

After a SaskParty candidate was revealed to be an anti-science Q-cult fascist, so Moe removed him to reduce embarrassment to the party. The replacement is a home builder association CEO. “The rising cost of housing is more important than solving climate change for most canadians (sic).” Saskatchewan is a world

Some anniversaries we don’t need to remember. My Da just called to remind me that it was 40 years ago today that his father, my Gramps, was killed in a farm accident. Do you have a singular day that changed the trajectory of your life? I remember that

When Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says small nuclear reactors “could be a game changer in providing safe, zero-emitting, baseload power in many areas of the province,” as he did Sunday in a tweet, he’s pulling your leg. For a variety of economic and technical reasons, the scenario Mr. Kenney described

Right Wing media started this year telling people that the new Coronavirus was the flu, and would cause no deaths in America. Fast forward to August and almost 150,000 Americans are buried due to COVID-19 infections they didn’t overcome. Even those who recover face other problems ranging from recurring breathing
Continue readingAccidental Deliberations: On ongoing failings
Andrew Leach has pointed out how Alberta’s economy has been the worst in the country since Jason Kenney took power. But it’s also worth noting which provinces have seen similar results: In other words, leaving aside the problems with Moe’s non-response to the COVID crisis, Saskatchewan’s GDP and employment situations

The coronavirus is airborne. Most of our plans are based on it spreading by droplets and unclean hands. #KeepYourChildHome and they'll thank you in later years, even if 2020 and some of 2021 is more difficult. Easier to rebuild social connections than a damaged heart. — Saskboy from #SocialDistancing (@saskboy)

I am so not impressed by the Sask Party’s response to COVID-19. Slow Moe took days to shut down schools in March after a pandemic was declared, and now he’s charging ahead without a plan to roll back to Stage 1 of a lockdown when kids start getting sick in
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Post-lockdown
Even though everything isn’t re-opened, the Saskatchewan Government very much wants people to think and act as if everything is back to normal. They’ll deny that if asked. There’s no evidence of the Premier wearing a mask though to set a good example in public. As a result, the infection

This has been obvious to me for most of the last decade, after it became clear that good information was never going to win over enough people, because disinformation had already corrupted too many. https://t.co/jbwxnjMkB2 — Saskboy from #SocialDistancing (@saskboy) April 20, 2020 Oil prices turn negative for first time
