❗ WARNING: LONG THREAD, but it's important ❗ In 2017, the #SaskParty cut #STC, leaving thousands of people across our province stranded. 🚌

Since then, I've heard so many stories from folks who have been left in bad situations because of this dangerous cut: (1/6)

🏥 seniors who can't get to medical appointments
👍 rural and Northern people who are forced to hitchhike
🚗 low-income folks who struggle to afford a car
🌾 farmers who can't get parts sent out (2/6)

♿ people with disabilities who lost their independence
🚌 small businesses that can't get affordable shipping
🏫 young people away for school who can't get home #sasked (3/6)

When I was starting out as a doctor, I worked in #ruralsask and Northern areas where lots of people relied on the bus to get to appointments. Every time I think of Sask. Party's sell-off of STC, I think of the people I served and how this cut has impacted so many. (4/6)

We deserve better than a government that cuts services people rely on, while giving their friends & donors big money contracts. 💰

Today in #MooseJaw, we committed that an NDP government will create a new #STC & make the right investments to make life better for all of us. (5/6)

We're so serious about it, we even brought our own bus.

We deserve a government that isn't satisfied with the way things are. Let's choose a government that puts people first. (6/6) #skpoli #skvotes
