Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop, Moe Problem

What the dickens is wrong with Saskatchewan’s prominent political Moe family? It was less than 3 months ago that his truck was impounded in British Columbia where his son drove it so badly. Decades before then, Scott Moe killed Joanne Balog with his truck by not stopping it at a stop sign. Moe says he regrets one day, that day. I guess he doesn’t regret the other 2 days he was driving drunk, even though he might consider them among his “lot of mistakes”.

“Moe calls situation around impounded truck a ‘personal matter'”
leaderpost com/news/saskatchewan/moe-again-calls-situation-around-impounded-truck-a-personal-matter

“Premier Scott Moe said this was a time he was called to support family and friends”

How does he support his family:

He pardons them from minor traffic violations that mimic his own violation that cost a life.

Plague Update: Doug Ford Broke Quarantine Law

Liberals might be happy to learn that OPC leader Doug Ford has been privately prosecuted with breaking federal quarantine law. Trial is pending.

They may be less excited to learn that Justin Trudeau should face similar prosecution for breaking the same law in the same manner. Another who should be charged gave this excuse for their breaking of the public safety measure: “He also noted that the press conference was not a public setting.” Imagine that a ‘private’ press conference.

One of the law profs behind the prosecution of Ford has made waved on Twitter previously.

Doug Ford is being criminally prosecuted for violating public health law. The Rule of Law means the powerful are not above the law, not on my watch. https://t.co/XJ5KYT2Ho9

I think it would be easy to find other Premiers like Moe who’ve broken the quarantine law too. Wasn’t Moe just gallivanting around Europe and the Middle East?

Plague Update: Shahab Predicts COVID Will Wane by March 2022

The depravity of Shahab and Moe is really laid bare, as Canada enters the 2nd Omicron wave in no small part to the removal of public health measures. They shamefully led the way with reducing public health.

Shahab is asked by CTV's Stefanie Davis safety schools re: no measures.

Says UK navigated out of Omicron, now masks in schools optional.

Says in March some parents may choose to have kids masked.

He says Omicron wave passing which will "lend confidence" to removing mask order.

— Adam Hunter (@AHiddyCBC) February 8, 2022

2 months later, the reality that Omicron isn’t going away soon is sinking in.

Saskatchewan is experiencing a resurgence of COVID-19, but the province's chief medical health officer says a sixth wave has not yet arrived. Dr. Saqib Shahab says the resurgence will likely last until mid-May or early June before cases start to level off. #covid19sk #skpoli

A month back:

The post QP scrum with Health Minister Paul Merriman featured him repeatedly saying that the province moved away from daily reporting so that it could provide the public with an accurate understanding of COVID-19 instead of daily spikes in cases or deaths. #SKpoli

Meanwhile the Speaker has COVID and spread it around at a SUMA dinner with urban municipal lawmakers from all over Saskatchewan:

241 Saskatchewan people have died from covid in the 8 weeks since since we stopped reporting daily cases.

Guess how long it took to reach our first 241 deaths? 10.5 months.

Covid isn't over.

A Great Day For Canada

About fricken time the Liberals and NDP came to an agreement to stop the never-ending short election cycle. This should have happened last year. Now let’s get some movement on electoral reform, the #ClimateCrisis, and reconciliation, among many other files the parties can agree on. The Greens are also likely to support many bills.

Yes!
This is a great day for Canada.

Moe has already responded with petulant ignorance and mischaracterization of what’s happening.

Yes Gord, yes you should be. Just like every free-thinking Canadian should be. Our Official Opposition party is a party of insurrectionists, racists, and fascists.#cdnpoli https://t.co/nUZCf7przz

And it’s not that Conservatives don’t understand, many do. It’s that they just don’t care, and have calculated they’ll get more mileage from misinforming voters.

If Pierre Poilievre and Candice Bergen are having a tantrum, something good for Canadians probably just happened

My eyes would like a word with the Liberals and NDP who don’t think they should include sight as an aspect of covered public health.

Plague Update: Moe’s Dropping Numbers

"I am going to stay out of telling them [protesters] what to do," said Sask. Premier Scott Moe of the ongoing demonstrations in Ottawa, Windsor and Coutts.

— CTV Morning Live YXE (@CTVMorningStoon) February 20, 2020

Hmm. So Moe was against blockades when done by Indigenous people.

What Moe said about the origin of the convoy was a lie too. It was orgnaized by far right hate groups as an insurrection, and they sucked anti-waxxers in for extra goons and cover. Moe gives them cover.

As a reporter who wrote the story about racist comments from some organizers, we linked to videos of everything we quoted them saying.

We also quote convoy/trucker voices frustrated with these revelations.

Plague Convoy Gets Support From Premier and O’Toole

Canada’s capital is occupied by white supremacist, anti-vax protesters who’ve urinated on the National War Memorial, stood on the Unknown Soldier’s tomb, flown Nazi and Confederate flags, and even desecrated a statue of Terry Fox.

Yesterday, the Premier of Saskatchewan released a letter supporting these protesters, and his message went viral on Twitter being ‘liked’ more than 11,000 times by last night.

Dear Premier Moe:
Your letter on January 29th in support of anti-vaccination protesters was a contradiction to your messaging from the past year saying vaccination is our way out of pandemic public health measures.
I have a low opinion of your leadership, but you continually fail to surmount even my low expectations.

You should resign in disgrace, as the organizers of the so-called Freedom convoy included white supremacists, and upon their arrival in Ottawa they attacked front-line workers, defaced monuments to veterans and Canadian heroes, all while protesting the vaccine you once publicly supported.

Sincerely,
John Klein
Regina, SK

#FreedomConvoyCanada2022 clueless that #TerryFox campaign was about raising funds for Medical Science & Cancer Research while they protest vaccines is pure irony and about as Dumb as you can get… #freedumb pic.twitter.com/5izIenqLWH

At some point the folks freezing on the Hill without so much as a pot to piss in, will figure out that organizers made (laundered) $7 million by co opting the trucker brand, fanning their Trudeau hate & lying to them about basic civics.

Ya got used.#FluTruxKlan

— Shawna Gawreluck (@ShawnaGofABPoli) January 30, 2022

Massive, in that it weighed and cost a lot. However, the number of people attending couldn't have filled the morgues as well as the bodies of Canadians dead from COVID-19 in the past week!

— Saskboy from Saskatchewan (@saskboy) January 31, 2022

You know what they say, a few hundred apples who steal food from homeless shelters, display hate symbols, force stores to shut down and a vigil to be canceled, piss and park on a war memorial, and are actually white supremacists spoil the bunch.

— David Moscrop (@David_Moscrop) January 30, 2022

Plague Update: Worst Among Us

I practically couldn’t believe this, except I know BoJo is not a fine bloke.

Boris Johnson considered being injected with COVID-19 on live TV: ex-adviser

Man too stupid to realize he brainstormed how to commit suicide on live TV, with the intention to instead calm the public down, has additional ideas regarding how to handle a more contagious virus:

Wow is BoJo stupid.

— Saskboy from Saskatchewan (@saskboy) January 19, 2022

And on the subject of brain-dead idiots in charge of governments, Premier Moe went on the radio with Saskatchewan’s Shock Joke, err Jock, to wax poetic about the days when restaurants didn’t have screening for irresponsible plague rats like himself.

If Scott Moe lifts the vaccine and mask mandates, the vaccinated, who are the significant majority, are probably gonna stay home more.

I’m so angry that he would go on the province’s most right wing radio and communicate these changes while we are still at the height of omicron

— Emily Eaton (@emi_eaton) January 27, 2022

Every other time Moe reopened Saskatchewan it was an unqualified success, so why wouldn’t the next time be as awesome?

Oh, right, the thousands* of dead people.

😬

*Mortality during the pandemic has been about 4000 people more than the standard death rate.

Plague Update: No Moe Bragging Rights

Apparently the only reason no one in Saskatchewan died of COVID-19 the last couple weeks, was computer error, not reality. Of course Premier Moe was bragging only yesterday about his great numbers compared to Quebec with their public health measures he removed or refused to use here.

We would all cut them some slack except that @PremierScottMoe and the health minister were almost boasting about there being no deaths as compared to other provinces
No wonder neither Moe nor Merriman attended today’s media conference

— 𝙶𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝙷𝚞𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚛 (@hunter_gord) January 21, 2022

To me, the scariest yet most likely scenario is that they didn't know. They have not invested in the ability to acquire, understand or incorporate facts in their decision-making. All their systems seem to be built on the cheap, without real expertise. Nothing works as it should.

“I don’t know where the premier is getting his information and advice from to be saying that publicly. It just doesn’t have any science behind it, any data behind it, or any demonstrative practices behind it," said epidemiologist Nazeem Muhajarine.
