If you hear someone talking about “personal responsibility” to get us out of the COVID-19 pandemic, they’re gaslighting you. There’s no reasonable expectation that individuals acting responsibly can end the plague. The only thing that has worked around the world is national/provincial/state coordination from the top down. How's personal responsibility

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Sask Government Refusing To Slow Pandemic Down
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
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Booster Shot For The Economy
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: Minister of SaskPower, Duncan, Should Resign
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
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Global Climate Strike in Regina
The #ClimateStrike was in Regina again this morning, and hundreds of people marched from the RSM to the Legislature to show their displeasure with the government for doing nothing to address the climate crisis. The Government is doing less than nothing, they’re now actively harming the people providing solutions

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,

Why are @PremierScottMoe and @SKGov doing so little to prepare for the transition away from coal burning?@SaskPower and related workers deserve a #JustTransition to meaningful employment in other fields, or other areas of energy generation like #solar and #wind. — John Klein (@JohnKleinRegina) June 17, 2019 People who know what
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Sustainable Moe
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,

With the Saskatchewan Government touting nuclear ambitions again, only 10 years after it was soundly rejected by the population, I’ve been reviewing what I wrote at the time then. One person in the audience of the UDP forum in Regina noted that Texas could power Saskatchewan with its wind power

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

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.

You and Minister Duncan are liars, and are harming Saskatchewan's chance at adapting to #climatechange. Stop fighting the #carbontax, and start making a plan to leave office so real leaders can save Saskatchewan from destruction.#skpoli — Saskboy (@saskboy) November 15, 2018 It’s frustrating having cave men deciding your province’s future.

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

“Can you imagine anything the scientists would say that would persuade the US administration that it needs to take [climate change] more seriously?” Presenter Evan Davis puts that to former Trump adviser Myron Bell “No, I can’t.”#newsnight pic.twitter.com/KwnOi1sveY — BBC Newsnight (@BBCNewsnight) October 8, 2018 And yet we have Agents

Saskatchewan has a big problem in our health care system. The last Premier, Wall, promised to do something about this, but nothing got fixed. Premier Moe may be too busy picking a fight with B.C. to ask his Health Minister(s) to hire a small team of doctors to ensure donor

Husky has only been charged now by the Crown, for a spill nearly 2 years ago. Federal charges may be pending too. The provincial charges carry a possible fine of only $1M. Great deal for an oil company, to operate and ruin the water supply of Saskatchewan’s 3 largest city

“recognize its own climate change efforts, such as carbon capture and storage. ” Effort, not “efforts”. There’s only been one effort made, and arguably the CCS project increases emissions since it’s an Enhanced Oil Recovery project that enables Cenovus to extract more oil which will be burned. Whether the net

Then you proclaimed "Transportation Week" because “Saskatchewan’s transportation industry … is vital to the success of our economy." — John Klein (@JohnKleinRegina) June 7, 2017 "you have to ask the question; is [a bus] the core function of government?" -YouIs it transportation perhaps?Yes!#TransportationWeak — John Klein (@JohnKleinRegina) June 7, 2017

Sent to a Saskatchewan Government employee who announced Saskatchewan Transportation Week immediately after STC bus and parcel services were closed to be sold off much later: Dear Brandy Leippi: Reading your press release citing the proclamation of this week as Saskatchewan Transportation Week, I was struck by how contradictory the

Today is a terrible day in Saskatchewan history. The Brad Wall government has ended public transportation to most Saskatchewan communities. There is tomorrow no bus service between Saskatoon and Regina, a sort of event you’d expect after a major natural disaster, not an incompetent government decision poised to directly harm
