  5. This is a pretty badass recap of the last year dealing with the Sask Party. They admitted up front that they need to do better, we elected an entire opposition government to hold them to task, and they ignored us on issue after issue.

    Edit: with the party's permission, I got the raw video to post here so you don't have to deal with Meta :)

  7. I've booked almost the entirety of June off work. Planning to use some of my free time to tour Saskatoon #yxe and talk with as many politicians and organizations as I can about their social media strategies. See if I can bring em to the Fediverse in the spirit of @ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty

    Planning starts the second Legislature lets out mid May.

    I'd love to find collaborators to do the same in Regina #yqr Moose Jaw #ymj and Prince Albert #ypa and any other communities across the province. Hit me up!

  8. Does this look like democracy to you? "The majority of [RM of Sherwood's] council members were appointed by the province… only 10 days ago. Monday was their first regular council meeting. 4 of the 7 current councillors do not live in the RM and were not elected by the residents…" #SkPoli #Sask

  13. Oh wow. It really does look like the Sask Party stacked the city council of Sherwood to ensure they can jam through this data center deal. Hand picked, unelected councillors who don't even live in the area have no business making a decision like this. #yqr #skpoli #noAI

  14. From the inside track, until they learn how to cross post on the Fediverse:

    The Sask NDP are calling for transparency about this Data Centre outside Regina. You can email em at [email protected] , and attend an open house next Wednesday at the Glen Elm library from 4:30-7:30 p.m. about it.

    #NoAI #skpoli #SaskNDP #yqr

  15. Got a graphic for Saturday's protest in Regina! 11am at the Legislative Building to tell the government fuck off with this data centre

    #yqr #skpoli #NoAI

  16. Heeyyy there's gonna be a protest Saturday in Regina opposing the Data Center Build. 11am at the Legislature building: facebook.com/events/1253037973

    #NoAI #yqr #skpoli

  17. Hell yeah. 11k people and counting calling to stop the Bell "AI" data center outside Regina. Join the chorus!

  18. Possible changes to boundary for proposed national park in Saskatoon spark outcry | CBC News
    “Swale Watchers conservation group is leading a groundswell of opposition to potential changes to the boundary that would remove portions of the Northeast Swale and Small Swale, areas that are considered endangered and home to many threatened plant and animal species.”

  19. Hey Saskapeeps!

    We want to convince politicians and governments at all levels to get their asses over on the fediverse, yeah?

    One other step will be to prove to them that we're here waiting for em.

  20. Working on a spreadsheet, because I'm that kind of a nerd. Would you look at all these essential city services and information channels that rely on american oligarch owned platforms? Anyone in Regina feeling a little ignored by your city?

  21. Four former provincial legislators are coming together to support our campaign because they know that bold ideas and big organizing are how we win.

    Marilyn, Jim, Peter and Gene understand that we need a vision to tackle the cost of living crisis, the climate emergency and inequality all at the same time. In doing so, we can inspire millions of Canadians with a clear offer that cannot be confused with the Liberals or Conservatives.

    I’m grateful for the confidence of these leaders from Atlantic Canada, Saskatchewan and Ontario who know that our campaign is one for every region and every community, from coast to coast to coast.

  22. Hey Saskatoon, Regina, general Saskatchewan and elsewhere!

    Wanna help get our elected representatives on the fediverse? @ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty has some email templates to start from. I sent a personalised one last weekend, and continuing to beat that drum is how we get heard. Let em know!

  23. Wouldn't it be fun if our Canadian Premiers - as "Team Canada" - put out a joint statement saying to the effect of:

    If any States of the USA bordering Canadian provinces feel as though they have no choice but to democratically extricate themselves from an autocratic situation, that those bordering provinces of Canada would be willing to absorb said States, as like minded, democratic, and free friends.

    Yukon: Alaska
    British Columbia: Washington
    Alberta: Idaho or Montana
    Saskatchewan: Montana
    Manitoba: North Dakota or Minnesota
    Ontario: Minnesota/Michigan/Ohio/New York
    Quebec: Vermont/NewHampshire
    New Brunswick: Maine
    Nunavut: Greenland (jk)

    I know this is midly insane, and the problems it could set off are immense if not incalculable. But here we are: in insane times.

  24. While @PremierScottMoe celebrates 10 years of AG in Motion here is a list of actual crises that have been going on this decade:

    1. #drought in S. Sask
    2. #wildfires
    3. #HealthCare crisis

    #Sask is at a crisis point. Who will step up to do what is needed? #skpoli

  25. The #Sask North on fire with beleaguered residents considering filing lawsuits (image 1) ;

    Air quality so bad that severe warnings are issued almost daily (image 2), and;

    @PremierScottMoe decides to focus on forcing treatment on addicts (image 3). Way to punch down, Mr. Premier. #skpoli

  26. Want a more inclusive democracy in #Sask ?

    It starts with political finance reform. Eliminate these donations:

    Secret numbered and non-Sask based Corps (image 1)
    Unlimited (image 2)
    "Anonymous" (image 3-4)

    Time for a complete overhaul, right @ElectionsSask ?

    #skpoli

  27. In 2023 the #Canada gov and
    @PremierScottMoe
    struck a #healthcare deal for $111m in extra funding for 10 years (image 1). But, by 2025, #Sask is actually cutting health care spending (image 2) resulting in ER closures (image 3).

    Mr. Premier, where is the $$ going? #skpoli

  28. “Are we getting access to better services? Are our health-care wait times dropping? Are the roads improved? Are we seeing access to better services in terms of teacher contracts?”

    Debt with no benefit. The legacy of the @PremierScottMoe gov.

    #skpoli #Sask #DebtCrisis

  29. At some point the Minister in charge, Tim McLeod, is going to have to take some responsibility for the totally inadequate response to this years' wildfires.

    Cutting $500 cheques to those displaced is simply not enough. #skpoli #Sask

  30. "Service is my #1 priority. I am here to represent you.

    That's why I pledge to hold regularly scheduled public town halls open to all in Regina Wascana to hear directly from you. Now Let's Do This!"-Jeff

    SMART, HONEST LEADERSHIP YOU CAN TRUST

    #skpoli #Sask #LetsDoThis

  31. @JeffWalters SO it's the feds, the people & public utilities that pay the most to keep Sask afloat and resources/industry doesn't put all that much in. #typical #skpoli

  32. Given all the hoopla in the US about immensely wealthy CEOs of immensely wealthy private healthcare companies who derive their wealth from worsening patient outcomes getting shot and all, maybe #Canadians should chat about Conservative politicians that want to Privatize and Americanize our healthcare system.

  33. Yeah, they talk a good game. But when the time comes to actually reduce taxes, the @CPC_HQ and @MichaelKramSK show their true colours and vote against it....all of them.

    Their #AxeTheTax rings hollow. #skpoli #sask #cdnpoli

  34. The discovery of 27 cases of #scurvy in a northern #Saskatchewan community is raising concerns about #GroceryPrices and access to fresh food as #IncomeInequality worsens.

    Earlier this year, a doctor in #LaRonge had a hunch that a patient was suffering from scurvy, a #disease caused by #VitaminC deficiency. The test came back positive and it raised questions about the prevalence of scurvy in the community.

    The #LacLaRongeIndianBand partnered with Dr. Jeff Irvine and the Northern InterTribal #Health Authority to investigate. Irvine is a physician in La Ronge and works with Northern #Medical Services, an off-shoot of the University of Saskatchewan college of #medicine.

  36. BC NDP hold onto a slim majority against BC Cons, NB Libs trashed the Cons, now waiting to see if Saskatchewan NDP can turf out their Con party

    Methinks the overall Con message, the Canada version of MAGA, is getting a fairly solid rejection

    #BCpoli #Saskpoli #SKpoli #CDNpoli

  37. Hey look at that, the very first priority according to the #SaskParty is your kids' genitals. What a weird thing to be obsessed with. #skpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewa

  38. Keep an ear out for political ads this week.

    #SaskNDP is running on a platform for change, addressing pain points and planning to improve quality of life for everyone in Saskatchewan.

    #SaskParty's messaging is "how dare the NDP say things are bad".

    #skpoli #NeverVoteConservative

  39. Danielle Smith and her whacko UCP have adopted trumpian MAGA power tactics as they announce “freedom” changes to the Alberta Bill of Rights while holding “purity votes” to surround herself with loyalists in advance of her upcoming leadership review.

    The UCP leader considers herself, her party and her province above Canadian law and democracy itself.

    Danielle Smith must be removed before she ignites a real partisan conflict in Canada. Anger for her daily bullshit has long since peaked, she and her cult of rabid followers are a cancer and complete disgrace to Canada.

    Same goes for the secretive Rustad BC Conservatives who stole BC United votes in order to game the entire election in their favour. BC Cons respond to media requests with 💩 posts on X because they are all just goons full of 💩.

    If these weird MAGA RW politicians don’t respect Canadian democracy why the hell should we? Down with these power hungry, hate filled right wing governments! If they want a war with real Canadians, so be it.
