Saskatchewan officials 'mouthpiece' for pesticide industry, documents show Saskatchewan officials were acting as "more than lobbyists — they're the mouthpiece for industry," said Mary Lou McDonald, a lawyer and founder of Safe Food Matters. "I used to think that with regulat...

Maybe someone in Alberta can gimme a timeline on when you all might be willing to accept that everything - EVERYTHING - Danielle Smith is doing right now is about the AHS scandal.

ALL. OF. IT.

Yes, THAT is how bad this scandal is. Accept it & pass it on.

Smith has touched off a firestorm!

Today Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation called for all resource exploration to cease, citing First Nations responsibility to the crown under treaty and questioning who Smith was exploring for.

I think Saskatchewan needs to follow the Vatican's approach to announcing new leadership. It would be more honest.

When the Co-op Refinery flare stake ignites, you know the oil industry has chosen a new Premier.

Me, too. It’s Scheer madness how he continues to be re-elected, but then again, SK keeps re-electing the inept and corrupt Sask Party, so.

Why do we undervalue the lives of disabled people so much? Why do we expect them to survive on a disability benefit that keeps them below poverty line - especially when being chronically ill drives expenses up?

A former “friend” explained it ti me & showed me how entrenched ableism is 🧵

As oil is tanking I want to remind #abpoli & #saskpoli that when normal Canadians advocate for a green transition, we never ever mean at the expense of Albertans or Saskatchewanians. We mean let’s build a green future with you leading it, and profiting from it instead of oil billionaires.

And I say this as a Saskatchewanian, living under a corrupt provincial government. It’s imperative we get Big Oil out of the pockets of our provincial politicians/governments for our own well-being and for that of future generations.

With a country so rich in natural resources, it’s time for Canada to establish a sovereign wealth fund. Had the CDN gov done so decades ago, the fund would be robust, limiting the influence of lobbyists and robber barons, and green initiatives (including job creation) would be much further advanced.

Section of Annual fiscal returns including donations and contributions for 2024 for the Sask Party showing a $25,000 donation from 840545 Alberta Ltd.

Anonymous donation to the Sask Party last year.
$25k from a numbered Alberta Corporation.
No problem?
Not under our outdated wild west political donation laws.

We always knew Conservatives heads on the prairies would start exploding if the Liberals won another mandate. There's no excuse to do a convoy, so now it's separatism.

It would cost millions to rebuild/refurbish 24 Sussex Drive, but I bet the carpeting wouldn’t cost $280,000.

Media-shy Poilievre is running to lead a small rural town, and as someone from a small rural town I can tell you that he is NOT ready for the level of gossip that spreads there. You can avoid reporters, but you can't avoid Loose Lips Linda at the local roller rink, Pierre
