Our letter to Mayor Cynthia Block and Police Chief Cameron McBride regarding the booking of a park in Saskatoon for a performance by Sean Feucht.

The hateful views of Sean Feucht have no place in our city.

Trump tariffs are hurting Saskatchewan's economy and threatening our sovereignty.

This isn't the time to be channeling Neville Chamberlain.

Keep those elbows up! 💪

Deeply saddened and frustrated to learn that the #PrairieLily is canceled for the summer — a huge loss for Saskatoon tourism and local businesses.
I warned the Sask. Party of this possibility in May. They did nothing.
We need a water management plan — and a govt that listens. #SkPoli #prairielily

Today, the Saskatchewan NDP is calling on the Provincial Auditor to conduct a full investigation into the Sask. Party's complete failure to maintain the water bomber fleet needed to protect communities in the North from devastating wildfires.

The people of the North deserve answers, not excuses.

While communities burned, the Sask. Party left nearly half our water bombers sitting idle, including a brand new one. No explanation. No transparency.

After 18 years in power, this tired and out-of-touch government can’t be trusted to protect Saskatchewan families.

#skpoli #wildfires #Saskatchewan

🔥 Unprecedented wildfires in the North - 15,000+ evacuated. Homes lost.

Scott Moe claimed a new water bomber wasn’t here yet — but it was.

It sat idle in La Ronge, nearly burned, no pilot hired.

The Sask Party misled the public while communities burned.

They need to answer for this.

The Scott Moe and the SaskParty have utterly failed the people of Cumberland. #deplorable #skpoli

So proud of @jordanmcp.bsky.social and how he has represented his constituents. #Leadership

Together, we will get through this wildfire crisis.

And the Saskatchewan NDP will be there with you to rebuild all that has been lost in the North.

Thrilled to take on the role of Shadow Minister for Municipal Affairs! I’ll also keep my duties with Crown Investments, Water Security, SaskWater & as Deputy Chair of the Crown and Central Agency Committee.

Proud to work with @carlabecksk.bsky.social for a better Saskatchewan! 🌿🏡 #skpoli #TeamCarla

We will get through this wildfire crisis.

Let’s come together and support the North, just like we do in Saskatchewan when we’re at our best.

Northern Sask is in crisis. Thousands forced to flee wildfires with little warning.

We are calling for a provincewide state of emergency now and daily briefings so people get the info they need to stay safe.

Manitoba’s already acted. Sask can’t afford to wait. Lives and communities are on the line

"These are not just numbers. These are our children, our neighbours and our future."

White City and Emerald Park are long past due for a high school. Why won't the Sask. Party step up, do the right thing and get this school built?

The Saskatchewan NDP is sounding the alarm after learning from frontline workers that the emergency rooms in both the Royal University Hospital (RUH) and St. Paul’s Hospital were operating dangerously overcapacity on Tuesday.

We took a drive out to the Hague Ferry on Wednesday — low river levels & high sandbars mean only 2 vehicles can cross at a time.

Ferries are vital for farmers, families & rural Sask. It’s more than an urban concern — water issues hit ag & rural communities hard.

#skpoli

The South Saskatchewan River has been reduced to sandbars because the Sask. Party ignored years of warnings.

The Prairie Lily’s grounded, festivals are at risk, and public safety compromised. Saskatoon needs its river.

Last Friday, I wrote to the WSA Minister to demand action.

#skpoli #yxe

The South Saskatchewan River is in crisis. The Prairie Lily is shutting down, festivals are at risk, and jobs are being lost. The Minister’s response? Empty words. No plan. No urgency. Saskatoon deserves better — our river and community are worth fighting for.

#yxe #skpoli #water #prairielily

I'm just going to leave this here...

Moe says he’s Canadian but wouldn’t stop vote on Saskatchewan separating from Canada | Globalnews.ca Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said he's Canadian but wouldn't stop voters in the province from voting in a referendum to separate from Canada if it came forward.

Scott Moe had two opportunities this week to shut down talk of separation once and for all — and he didn’t.
 
Saskatchewan people deserve better than vague answers when the unity and future of the country is on the line.

Minister Cockrill's healthcare answers are beyond ridiculous.

We need IRL doctors, IRL nurses, IRL healthcare workers, not virtual substitutes.

I also want to pay credit to my colleagues Tajinder Grewal and Bhajan Brar who are both proud Sikhs and hardworking representatives for all Saskatchewan people. I am proud to serve with you each and every day.

That Legislature belongs to the people of Saskatchewan. It is a place to bring people together, not drive us apart.

I want to give special recognition tonight to Saskatchewan’s Sikh community — a community that contributes so much to our province and has shown such generosity.

The comments that have emerged from a Sask. Party MLA today are deeply hateful and hurtful.

The apology issued by Racquel Hilbert does little to ease the pain caused by her initial comments, which were clearly and premeditated and written out in advance before being delivered in the Legislature.

Saskatchewan government says cutting ties with U.S. companies presents 'challenges' As calls grow louder for the Saskatchewan government to end contracts with U.S. companies, the province says it's not that simple.

“These lab services could be brought back into public healthcare where there is accountability rather than basing decisions on who gets this lucrative contract by who writes the biggest cheque to the Sask. Party.”

“Enough with the excuses. This is a Minister who sends women out of province for mammograms and refuses to meet with frontline doctors and nurses on a daily basis — patient care is the least of his priorities,” Conway said.

On Thursday, Moe’s Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill claimed keeping LifeLabs — extending the company’s contract without any form of competitive bidding process — was about protecting patient healthcare services.

“Scott Moe promised to review and move away from American contracts in response to Donald Trump’s threats to make us the 51st state.

“Now, we find out the best way to get around a competitive process is to throw a few thousand bucks into the Moe re-election fund.”

LifeLabs has donated to the Sask. Party since at least 2014; Quest is a donor the Republican Party.

“These are Donald Trump fans and Sask. Party donors running Saskatchewan lab services,” said Meara Conway, Saskatchewan NDP Shadow Minister for Rural & Remote Health.

Yesterday, Moe’s own Minister of Health admitted he’s only just extended a massive contract to private company LifeLabs for at least another year. LifeLabs, which is now operated by American based Quest, was awarded a $60-million contract in by the Government of Saskatchewan in 2017.
