The Sask. Party claims they had to fulfill Transport Canada guidelines, but this is disingenuous. They knew this plane was on the way for a year, and should have had a plan to be ready for fire season.

Congrats to @mearaconwaymla.bsky.social, who is taking on the role of Health Shadow Minister.
I'm thrilled to focus on my role as Deputy Leader moving forward. โค๏ธ
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.
Manitobaโs already acted. Sask canโt afford to wait. Lives and communities are on the line
This is a crisis, not a coincidence. When nearly 100 people are packed into an ER designed for half of that, with patients on stretchers in hallways, no curtains, no privacy โ this is a clear sign our healthcare system is overwhelmed.
People deserve better, and healthcare workers deserve better.
At St. Paulโs Hospital, there were 53 patients in an emergency room designed for 28, forcing patients to be treated in the waiting room (attached photos).

Thx to Vidya Reddy & AIDSProgramSouthSK for providing Naloxone training for SaskNDP, Monday
Their session provided us with background on how Naloxone saves lives & how harm reduction is an integral mechanism between addiction & recovery
Their public education is so crucial

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.
Canadians are strong.
We are hardworking.
We care for each other.
We love our country very much.
This is a fight we did not pick but we will not back down from.
I am so proud to be Canadian today and every day. ๐จ๐ฆ
It's unbelievable that the Sask Party government would choose to cut healthcare in their provincial budget.
This budget has no plan for the economy and pretends the last 3 months haven't happened.
They're not focused on the future and are ignoring the realities we face today.

No this is not normal. No this is not OK.
The cause? A modelled influenza surge.
