RCAAN doesn’t understand Venn diagrams. You can have big tent coalitions, sure. But your middle connectors don’t get to flip and wear all the hats. You can’t be anti-public education AND run Regina Public School Board candidates. You can’t be Mr. Friendly Coach AND host Nazis. 🧵 Their fatal flaw in their quest for power and interconnectedness is they got so connected, all the batshit xenophobic white supremacy bullshit came with it.

SK people were somewhat ok punching down on trans kids through the Provincial @SKGov when it was coated in fluff (1/3)…

So here’s an interesting little tidbit about this whole harassment investigation. I apologize if it’s been said before and for all the tags, but… 🧵 #skpoli Remember how I said Reg Downs isn’t an MLA? @SeanTucker16

So … he’s not accountable to the MLA Anti harassment policy. He’s staff. Thats not a process that protects him.

People want change, but they don’t want the WORK of making change. 🧵 #skpoli

We have to stop thinking from the self-limiting perspective that demands a shortcut. Practically, it sounds something like: “Which candidate will take my interest from point A to point D?” The better question is this.

“Which candidate has capacity for a thoughtful point A to B discussion, and the capacity to not only see value, but hopefully — create buy in within their team to finish the work that is creating change?”

🧵 Stating facts as facts does not endorse or condone the status quo.

We can’t solve problems if merely stating reality is a no-go.

This is part of the “magical ostrich thinking” that doesn’t fly IRL.

It’s not just a “left”/“right” problem. It’s celebrated ignorance. I’ll give a typical progressive example and an evangelical right example.

The evangelical right:
“If kids learn about trans people, they’ll become trans”

No. Susan. That’s not how that works. It’s information.

Trans people exist. Stop projecting and sexualizing everything.

This is a thread about Lori Carr. 🧵 (1/6) #skpoli

AKA Deputy House Leader. AKA who the BOIE report would have gone to seeing as the Government House Leader would have been a subject in a complaint investigation. *Had one transpired. Psychology has broken down this thing called the Bystander effect. It’s where people witness bad behaviour, even bullying, and choose to say nothing because it’s not directly impacting them.

The amount of time that was spent last night trying to police my free speech outside the chamber, looking for cameras, and generally paranoid-gossipy behaviour to discredit gallery members was a whole side story within a story. (1/5)🧵

#skpoli But after the fog of emotion — and this hits so damn close to home — I’ve come to realize something.

This isn’t a government of confidence.

No confident gov’t creates a culture of gossipy chatter and goes out of its way to disengage. It doesn’t turn to games/Netflix.

I’m going to offer commentary on the @SKGov white paper. Page by page.

This is an #skpoli thread nobody asked for, nobody needs, yet somehow, we all deserve… Come with me on this journey…

Listening to @CBCSask Cost of Living

Talking $ policy with Gov of @bankofcanada

“We don’t want wages to go up too much because then people can afford stuff and that increases inflation.”

Me 🤔 If their wages had gone up, how would they be worse off? Maybe no/better no worse? *blah blah — bitches employers can’t find employers and open job vacancies*

😂 Lmao — the jobs that don’t pay.

Now we are at the “Let’s thank the immigrants for working underpaid jobs” part of the discussion.

I just lost my faith in @bankofcanada monetary policy, congrats!
