I'd like to share a conversation I had with a woman in #YXE. She's a mother of three kids working paycheck to paycheck. She's doing her absolute best but with increased costs, she's finding it harder and harder to make ends meet at the end of every month.

🧵

#skpoli #sask
Her family is doing everything right but they're falling further behind. She wants to provide the best for her kids but now finds herself in a position where she might have to put off paying a bill or two just to ensure she has gas in the tank for the month.

This is why government matters.

During a generational cost of living crisis, the Sask. Party expanded the PST, increased energy rates by 23%, increased power rates by 8%, and increased fees.

She doesn't know how she'll cover her bills in the coming months.

Are you having a hard time keeping track of what the Education Minister has been up to?

I don’t blame you.

After downloading all his responsibilities to divisions, he’s now meddling in public health decisions that aren’t good for his local politics.

🧵

#skpoli #sask
Back in August, while the Minister took the summer off, case counts began to skyrocket. The SHA created a back to school plan to better protect children for the fall term.

The Minister opted to ignore it.

Not wanting to face potential criticism, the Minister downloaded all of the responsibilities, leaving decision-making to the local school divisions to work with their local medical health officers.

'We're frustrated, scared, tired': Sask. heart, brain specialists brace as COVID-19 slowdown worsens | CBC News cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…
#yqr cardiologist Dr. Andrea Lavoie and #yxe neurologist Dr. Brett Graham said anyone with emergencies will still receive the same care as always and should not hesitate to call 911.
But hundreds, possibly thousands of others w non-critical needs will have to wait indefinitely.
For ex, all "coiling" operations to prevent high-risk patients from suffering a brain aneurysm are on hold.

And all cardiologists were told Wed to cancel half of all upcoming heart stress tests, angiograms and diagnostic procedures. Cardiac ICU bed space has been cut by 50%.

Sunday is the final day that the Walking With Our Angels ceremonial teepee will stand outside the #Saskatchewan legislature in #yqr.

Tristen Durocher and supporters arrived Aug. 1, after a 635-kilometre 28-day suicide prevention walk from Air Ronge.

Here's a look back #Thread
“We’ve lost over 2,300 people since 2005 alone. This is the tip of a very grim iceberg."

At 29.7 people per every 100,000, the suicide rate in northwestern Sask. is nearly three times higher than the Canadian national average of 11/100,000.

“I was woken up by several men in uniform from the Provincial Capital Commission and the police service."

Overnight into Day 2, the Provincial Capital Commission told Walking With Our Angels their camp violated bylaws.

Let’s be real - none of your are reading a 251 page report on a Friday.

I’m doing it for you. Here’s a thread on my observations 🧵 #YQR #SkPoli #Sask #YXE
Let’s start in #YQR: Pioneer Village has a LOT of problems. Ventilation is aging, the boilers are 55 years old, staff are under trained and also people may be taking antipsychotics without reason.

Also the rooms are small and lack privacy
Still in #YQR, now at Entendicare Parkside. The current design “does not meet current standards of care”

There are also concerns about standards of care

Guess what, MLA letters & petitions aren't stopping the dismantling of this Province.

The only one who can stop it is
Her Honour Lois Mitchell.

Your Honour I'm asking you will you use #RoyalAssent to stand up for democracy & justice?
