🧵1/11 - I'm so sorry that I want to talk about Potash in Sask. It is graphs, and numbers, and amounts of money that are big.

We all hate thinking about math and potash.

Believe me, my eyes continue to glaze over as I write this, but I promise you, it's important. #skpoli Image 🧵2/11 - Potash - more specifically resource taxation/royalties - help to fund Saskatchewan government spending.

In 1975, PotashCorp of Sask was set up as a Crown Corp by Premier Allen Blakeney of the NDP.

It was sold off by Grant Devine in 1989. #skpoli

1/9 One thing #SKpoli hasn't talked much about is how the history of private Christian academies like Legacy Christian Academy (aka. Christian Centre Academy) are rooted in school de-segregation in the United States. Just Google "Segregation Academy." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segregati… 2/9 School de-segregation in the southern US spawned the private Christian school movement. Tuition was kept intentionally high to keep out people of colour & minorities. At LCA - the Sask Party subsidy equals $750K annually. #skpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…
