Channelling the spirit of a "one-team" mentality, the Saskatchewan government is asking public sector employees from other departments to help the health-care system in the coming weeks.

calgaryherald.com/pmn/news-pmn/c… #skpoli #covid19sk
In an email to executive council staff, who provide support to Premier Scott Moe, his cabinet and committees, workers were asked to volunteer as care aides in hospitals, long-term care homes, COVID-19 testing sites and public health clinics. #skpoli
This includes feeding people, taking residents or patients to the bathroom, helping them get dressed, answering phones, moving medical supplies and directing traffic.
Health Minister Paul Merriman and Jim Reiter, minister responsible for the Public Service Commission, declined to comment. In a statement, a spokesperson said the government doesn't have any additional information to add.

🧵 Former LGBTQ students say they have been discriminated against at a government-funded Saskatchewan Bible College. Students say they have been fired from jobs or had their degrees taken away from them after being outed

Latest for @CdnPressNews
regina.ctvnews.ca/lgbtq-students… #skpoli
The Canadian Press interviewed eight former LGBTQ students from across Canada who attended the college over the last two decades. They said they experienced homophobia, abuse and discrimination that left them fearful and vulnerable.
They said they are speaking out because they're concerned for current students at the college and want changes or the school defunded. Briercrest receives funding from the Saskatchewan Party government and was given $250,000 for this school year. #skpoli

Premier Scott Moe's Saskatchewan Party government introduced a bill Tuesday to amend its own constitution, signalling the province is gearing up for a fight with Ottawa over its environmental policies.

Latest for @cdnpressnews
ca.news.yahoo.com/isnt-fed-bashi… #skpoli #cdnpoli
Justice Minister Bronwyn Eyre said the bill could help establish a legal basis for challenging federal regulations. The bill would help in court cases surrounding jurisdictional debates, said Mitch McAdam, director of the provincial government's constitutional law branch #skpoli
McAdam said the bill can also inform future decisions when there is a request for an injunction or the government files a reference to the Court of Appeal to get its opinion on a matter.

I’m covering the @peoplespca headquarters for @CdnPressPoli where @MaximeBernier has just arrived to cheers and handshakes. One supporter even baked him a Saskatoon berry pie. #cdnpoli #Elxn44
Organizers are pleading with the crowd at PPC headquarters to wear masks as per Saskatoon Inn’s policy, but most remain unmasked including PPC leader Maxime Bernier. Seats have been added and the room had to be expanded as the room is packed

#cdnpoli #Elxn44
So the PPC actually planned 2 rallies: 1 inside the Saskatoon Inn and 1 outside the hotel, + left it up to people to decide which one to go to. Here’s a current snapshot of the two. PPC Leader Bernier arrived to the one inside.

Note: inside room is 2x as big

Saskatchewan broke 3 #covid19sk records today:

- highest daily new cases: 543
- highest hospitalizations: 249
- highest ICU admissions: 55

Reminder: the health care system is bracing for the worst, with plans in place to begin making life-and-death decision by Sept 30 #skpoli
The thresholds that would push our doctors to make life-and-death decisions are in this thread below 👇🏻 #covid19sk
Earlier this week, Dr. @awong37 said now is the time for people to lay low, don’t get a trauma/major injury because critical care may not be available.

A #COVID19SK 🧵: Today @drsusanshaw graciously spent 40 minutes with me over the phone discussing the state of Sask’s health-care system that is overwhelmed by COVID. She says it’s important to talk about/share this information. Thread continues below..

theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Saskatchewan is already in Stage 1 of its triage plan. Surgeries are getting delayed so that those who are in a car crash or have COVD-19 can have immediate access to an ICU bed. #covid19sk
Today there are 76 residents in ICUs. If we hit 119 ppl in ICUs, Sask will enter Stage 2 of its triage plan. Doctors will then have to consult their ethics team to decide who gets life-saving care.

The health authority projects we will hit 125 ppl in ICUs by Sept. 30. #covid19sk

🧵Takeaways from today's media scrum with Sask's Health Minister Paul Merriman on #COVID19SK.

The minister says you'd have to ask Dr. Shahab if we're in a fourth wave, but "we're seeing all of the signs we're entering a fourth wave."

Sask's Health Minister Paul Merriman says if people don't want to get vaccinated, then that's their choice.

"I think you're infringing on people's personal rights if you're mandating things." #covid19sk #skpoli
Health Minister Paul Merriman says the Sask government is not changing any direction since it ended the state of emergency on July 11, which also ended all restrictions/mandates.

The province continues to rely on personal responsibility. #covid19sk #skpoli
