1. Latest government statement in response to calls for an investigation of Speaker Weekes allegations of harassment and threats of violence via @WayneMantykaCTV. Short🧵
Image 2. At least two steps in the Assembly's harassment process (detailed in the 🧵 below) would be tricky to navigate given the unique circumstances of this case.

1. Why Speaker Randy Weekes' allegations of harassment and threats of violence -- a near head butt, someone lunging towards him, intimidating gestures, harassing text messages -- must be independently and thoroughly investigated.

🧵 2. Like other workplaces in Saskatchewan, the Legislative Assembly is required by law to have a harassment policy.

The Assembly’s "Anti-Harassment Code of Conduct" expressly defines and prohibits harassment. legassembly.sk.ca/mlas/codes-of-…

1. The deaths of SaskPower workers Scott Bill & Cole Crooks is devastating.

As Douglas notes, the recent court decision SHOULD be reviewed by employers, supervisors & workers where people are working at heights (10' or +3 meters). @SCSAonline #canlab

An injury prevention 🧵 2. First, some background to this case is summarized in this post...

1. Speaker @randyweekes has alleged harassment & threats of violence: a near headbutt, someone lunging towards him, intimidating gestures, text messages, and even a gun in the Legislature. These are very serious allegations that must be investigated.

A long 🧵... 2. These allegations come at a time when there are more reports about bullying and harassment by local, municipal, and federal politicians. For example, Alicia Bridges @CBCSask's 2018 report entitled "Toxic Towns" newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/toxic…

1. A footnote on the making of Saskatchewan's pronoun bill.

Long 🧵 highlighting an @angusreidorg (ARI) poll that was widely publicized on August 28th, six days after the school pronoun policy was announced. 2. Before diving into the issue, I want to state upfront that my interest is in improving transparency in public opinion polling.

It stems from a research project that Andrew Stevens and I conducted between 2011-2015.

1. More evidence from internal documents pointing to the need for a THOROUGH & INDEPENDENT review of Saskatchewan's response to COVID-19.

@NathanielDove_'s story is worth reading.

Long thread🧵 2. Dr. Shahab on Sept. 7, '21: “provincial vaccination coverage (two dose 69%) is insufficient to prevent acute care collapse in the absence of province-wide and targeted local measures to blunt the spread.”

1. The facts of this case represent one of the most egregious set of violations of Saskatchewan’s health and safety law in at least the past 10 years.

Please read the first 8 paragraphs of the judge's decision shown in this 🧵

1. Updated comparison of provincial COVID-19 death rates (per 100,000).

Orange bar ~Delta wave (Sept. 1 - Dec. 31, 2021)
Blue bar ~Omicron wave (Jan. 1 - Apr. 30, 2022)

SK had the highest death rate during the Delta wave & second highest rate during ~Omicron wave.

#covid19sk Image 2. Why are COVID death rates higher in SK than, say, AB and MB?

I don't know the answer but I think it would be prudent for the province to conduct an independent, limited scope review to identify factors and lessons learned in preparation for the fall of 2022. #covid19sk

Six months after @globeandmail investigation of unsafe OHS conditions at Cargill's High River, AB plant, site of 938 COVID infections + 2 COVID deaths, @globeandmail selected Cargill as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers.

Here is my correspondence with G&M editors. #canlab 1/ @globeandmail justification of selection of Cargill as Top 100 Employer. "[...] we stand behind our decision to editorially support Cargill’s inclusion on the list." 2/
