In recent years, many teachers are dealing with 40 kids, in unsafe classrooms, while the Sask Party Education Minister posts about a mining company on the day the strike is announced.
Why did he talk about this mining company? He’s boasting about the corruption his government is getting away with, while suckers continue to support it.
He’s lying about the impetus for the hateful Parental Bill of Rights that he’s (illegally) using to cancel Charter Rights of children.
Almost unbelievable, now according to the Minister it's starting to sound like all this is sour grapes & petty payback for electing a progressive board in Regina Public? How petty while kids are put in harms way. 🤮 #Saskatchewan#Regina#nothwithstanding#Charterpic.twitter.com/pGhScZKTda
A long thread on Twitter of the Twitter Space hosted by Prairie Tara:
Hundreds tuned in, and dozens spoke.
I was too busy making notes like I used to for live events of interesting forums like this one was to add myself to the speakers list.
Had I, I would have probably said how in my life I’ve organized for the Saskatchewan Green Party, I’ve also run a campaign for a Sask Liberals candidate, and I don’t think electoral politics will work to fix the issues. I’ve been much less involved in it following my temporary death and subsequence failure of the Greens to make a breakthrough.
There is the possibility that a rebranded NDP with a weakened Saskatchewan Party, because of a right-wing challenger party, could change the calculus that leaves us presently subject to a terrible right-wing party. That party doesn’t really care who lives or dies, it only sees dollar signs.
Leaked Saskatchewan disease modelling has hospitalizations headed for a record high next month. The SHA is asking the public to limit gatherings "in order to not overwhelm the health care system." Services like surgeries could again be affected. https://t.co/o6JAfLiriW
You read this PPE shame before on my blog, but it was brought up in a mailing by local Conservative MP M. Kram.
“Never-Ending Blunders – Tons of PPE from National Stockpile destroyed”
Now, here are the facts:
“CBC News reported Wednesday that last year (2019), the government of Canada threw out two million N95 masks and 440,000 medical gloves when it shut down an emergency stockpile warehouse in Regina.
A spokesperson for the Public Health Agency of Canada, which oversees the stockpile, said in an email that the masks and gloves had been purchased in 2009 and “had passed the limit of five years for their use, as recommended by the manufacturer.” The masks expired in 2014.”
If you can remember 7 years ago, Stephen Harper was Prime Minister, and his government didn’t replace the masks which would have then expired 5 years later in the stockpile while Justin Trudeau was Prime Minister. Would they have thrown out freshly expired masks in 2019, instead of 5-year expired ones? Who knows? As it stands, each PM shares some blame for having Health Ministers not on top of emergency preparedness. So, why does Kram mail out a Liberal criticism list that mostly applies to his party as well?
“Failed to fund domestic vaccine production facilities”
“How did Canada lose such a national gem? In 1984, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, the greatest “privatizer” of our time, sold off Connaught Laboratories in two public issues, and it has since been resold, merged, side-swiped and wasted away to next to nothing. Said Liberal MP Jim Peterson at the time: “No industrialized country … would permit the takeover of its leading biotechnology firm.””
Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan Conservative Premier is in favour of locking up northern Saskatchewanians in their half of the province, but not locking out Albertan plague rats.
Alberta has reported 659 new cases of COVID-19 over the last three days, while Saskatchewan has reported 24 over the same period.
On Thursday, Moe announced further restrictions regarding northern travel.
The public health order restricts all non-critical travel in and out of the Northern Saskatchewan Administrative District (NSAD), which covers nearly half of the province but has a low population relative to the rest of Saskatchewan.”
If it can be done for northern Sask, it can be done inter-provincially too!
“In its latest COVID-19 update to physicians on Thursday, the Saskatchewan Health Authority reported that “uncontrolled intra- and inter-provincial travels is driving ongoing transmission and [facilitating] the speed of variant spread.”” –CBC
Geeze, it’d help if our Premier wasn’t a raging lunatic, hell bent on ignoring medical scientific advice, and just letting people (who aren’t northern Saskatchewanians) go where ever they please even if they *cough cough*, don’t feel well.
“Wasted millions on a feel-good “pandemic postcard” program”
It’s really effing ironic to be reading that from a tax-payer funded propaganda sheet with a printed cut-out postcard next to it, as Kram uses Canada Post on your dime to collect data for his insane party of hypocrites.
To our surprise, the government took some action, still relying on delay and “recommendations” instead of actual enforcement:
It’s really disappointing that churches remain open, and restaurants aren’t closed today to in-person dining. The province and city haven’t alerted people using the cell phone emergency system even yet, not since early in the pandemic.
First of all, Doug Ford is a racist, incompetent, buffoon.
CTV: “Premier Doug Ford has apologized after accusing a First Nations MPP who got a vaccine in his home riding of ‘jumping the line,’ even though he was invited to get the shot to combat vaccine hesitancy.”
Perhaps as a result of those serious character flaws, Ford has been ineffective in Ontario at controlling COVID-19.
Meanwhile in Saskatchewan, incompetent Scott Moe has done a terrible job, among the worst in Canada. Added onto his incompetence is the appearance of corruption.
We know Moe’s political party takes money directly from Big Oil, but has a corrupt money motive been found for why his riding got early vaccines, or was there simply apparent vote buying going on?
