Also worth note there is an option to NOT display your name to the public if you un- ✔️ the box.

Mr. Weekes summoned his courage. We can too. ✊
I asked my 16 year old child what kids would do in school if someone wanted a pronoun change (with or without parental consent) and he said “Call them whatever they want to be called. What is the government gonna do?”
Omg teenagers doing the thing anyway, imagine!
#skpoli
So the SK Premiers brother in law is publicly blaming intellectually disabled kids (he used the “r word”) for schools and, in essence, the teachers strike.
Jesus Christ.
Welcome to Saskatchewan.
Aka: Frozen Alabama.
🧵 The average Reginian is 39 yrs old. Every time I hear Scott Moe say “When the NDP were in power” I can’t help but wonder who he is talking to. Bro, you mean when I had a 28 inch waist, drank Boh on the weekend and cigs were $7.80? When I could find an apartment for $650? (1/3)
@FPWellman
@NikkiHaley
I also find it hypocritical of her given she has advocated for private companies to create their own rules. Twitter is not a tool of the state. What is it Nikki, private media and companies decide, or we socialize Twitter and it’s a right of citizenship?
UPDATE: As govt left and were escorted through the halls, went outside to cars, etc. they went out looking like the saddest bunch of losers. You’d think after pulling off an emergency “big win” you’d be smiles but they KNOW they f*cked up and they’re wearing it.
#skpoli
What if I told you a sitting MLA helped organize the funeral of a nonbinary kid who died by suicide after his church tried to pray the gay out of her? And this sitting MLA still voted to ignore the separate rights of Sask children.
Wouldn’t that be something?
RT if you’re a Sask resident who would pay CT directly to Ottawa. Cut

Gord Wyant pulled the Premier aside after the hoopla where I told SK how this sitting government is playing literal computer games on the tax dollar, and I’ve had several MLAs now stare up into the gallery at me to try to catch me with my phone. You won’t.

“Hello, RCMP. This is the Sask Education Minister. There are people sitting in my office without an appointment. Yes, I know there’s probably people driving recklessly on the highway, but they just got here and they’re quietly reading. This is urgent.”

This morning I read and signed my kids agenda. Logged into Edbsy and saw exactly what they were doing. Checked SeeSaw and saw more there. Got a message from CSCC. After school we’ll talk about their day.

boogeyman.
Hey Scott: try running the Province as well as you run stop signs and maybe you can turn your own ship around, pal.
If you didn’t know Sask had HIGHER rebates than the Maritime provinces all along and the home heating oil rebate is national, congrats, you’ve been scammed by Scott Moe’s bold faced lies (and Saskatchewan’s general media ineptitude.) Be salty. Re-post. Save a Moe-ron.
#skpoli
Also. That “cased gun” Jeremy Harrison didn’t want to leave in his truck … you know, for safety…

Just came here to say that tomorrow I’m participating in a study about parents of trans students. Will I throw
@PremierScottMoe
under the bus? Yes. Yes I will. Cite me. Capture it in history. May history look back in f*cking horror at what this government has done to human rights
What people don’t get is there is historical precedent for what is happening in Sask right now.
Look at the years just before the Great Depression, the Great Depression, pre-Douglas, you’ll find the answer. What were evangelicals upset about then, you ask? (1/4)
How can

In other words if we f*ck up your life and you are homeless at 15 because your parents kick your ass out you are SOL because we’ve preemptively washed our hands clean of liability.

Saskatchewan is NOT ok. The accepted, protected and CELEBRATED racism here is palpable. I have seen it over and over and over and it ought to be drug into the sunlight, shamed and radiated into oblivion for the cancer that it is.
Easy recipe.
Where there is economic loss there is fear.
Where there is fear there is anger.
Where there is fear and anger there is an opportunist.
Where there is an opportunist there is a group who will capitalize quickly and political leverage will always be a core target.
It’s also worth note a very conservative friend who is 60+ from Maple Creek (the epitome of bread and butter
#skpoli
conservatism) said he thinks not giving an escape hatch for the kids concerned for their lives is baffling and against everything he as a human stands for.
It’s official. The amount of rebate I’m NOT going to get (but would otherwise be entitled to) is a fraction of the portion I’m now remitting to the Province through utility bills which Dustin Duncan chooses to wilfully withhold.
Class action against Duncan, anyone?
#skpoli
Making a window salesman who never educated a single Saskatchewan classroom in his life the Minister of Education is like making a former City of Toronto street planning consultant the Saskatchewan Minister of Agriculture.
Why? Why do we do this?
Can we not?
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…
It’s come to my attention there’s a 📣 to doxx me. I’m the parent of a trans child in an industry that isn’t always kind to women or families like mine. I have no bad blood with ANYONE except the MLAs who voted against my child’s human rights, and the cowards who advised them to.
There’s one
#skpoli
thing I REALLY have to unpack, as well.
We have to talk about the disrespect shown when female MLAs are talking.
I observed that when Vicki was speaking there were backs turned, chatter, a whole boys club social hangout in the back. Attentiveness a 2/10.
I don’t want to overstep here and let me just say point blank I am NOT an insurance underwriter, but I am a licensed life, accident and sickness insurance advisor. I absolutely take issue with the notion that if you rapid test positive you don’t need to PCR test.
I apologize to the families who had to come today to hear earnest debate and watch the SaskParty MLAs watch sports coverage, play online card games and crush candy. They won’t but I will. I’m sorry. I’d take pics if it wouldn’t get me booted. I could vomit right now.
#skpoli
What went down in the
#skpoli
Chamber yesterday wasn’t anything new for the Finance Minister. She’s got a pattern working outside rules to get what she wants rather than serving honourably.
THIS 👏 ISN’T 👏 NEW 👏
Wake up.
So much to unpack here, but let’s start with the receipt.
Sunrise is a $70 a night motel owned by SaskParty MLA Gary Grewal.
A homeless senior has the Ministry of Social Services (aka the taxpayers) covering the stay at $200 a night!
🤠 yee haw, it’s another
#skpoli
scandal
Holy moley!
Sask Party MLA Gary Grewal is robbing taxpayers $200 a night (at an $80 motel) to offer a room to a homeless senior put up by the Ministry? Big yikes.

Greg Lawrence charging Sask taxpayers a grand a week to drive to and from Moose Jaw when session wasn’t even in LOL 😂 F you Sask taxpayers! Try and stop me, I’m a crook. BAAAAHHH!!!!

Update from the Ledg
#skpoli
Don McMorris is watching movies and Don Morgan won’t stop looking at me. Honestly it’s kinda weird.
I mimed “Can I get you something?” No response. 😂
I’m just sad for Randy, human-to-human. I’ve been bullied by the Reg “types” of the world and they truly have no shame. In some circles of influence, it’s behaviour that’s openly celebrated because it’s the ultimate power flex.
The guts it took to stand up.
#skpoli
Update from the
#skpoli
chamber. So if you’re tuning in there’s a PHD student’s letter being read into record about power and the status-quo white male heteronormative culture of leadership.
It triggered MLA Dave Marit who walked from his seat, shaking his head.

According to my research SaskParty MLAs are 36% more likely than the average Canadian to have a criminal record.
Tallied in the count: Dennis, Jenson, Moe, McMorris, Domotor, *Lawrence
I did NOT factor the dropped charges against Nadine Wilson for assaulting a senior.
Hope the Minister of Education is enjoying the govt awarding his private company tenders in the Battlefords.
Gotta make that $$$ both ways, Jeremy.
#skpoli
Another iconic moment.
When the vote was called and opposition stood to vote NO, there were 3 rows of public gallery members in the middle, just behind them, who stood up, too.
Some in govt sneered, but undeterred, they just stood. Quietly and respectfully.
#bill137
#skpoli
An absolute iconic moment that will stick with me a long time was
@nicolesarauer
THANKING Jeremy Harrison and the SaskParty for trying to stick it to them with the rules. Govt thought they’d be worn down with 40 hrs all on NDP shoulders but she said we’ve never been more united.
How did I read up on this history? So funny story, it began when I fell down a rabbit hole of reading up on the history of 🇺🇸 evangelicals radicalizing Saskatchewan small towns, and the history of the KKK in Canada.
*Pretend to be shocked* (3/4)
Legit: Is an MLA’s office a public space? Considering that every cent of it is taxpayer funded: from rent to utilities to the labour of all staff, MLA and Constituency Assistant alike.
What more is required to qualify as a public space than being 100% publicly funded?
@RCMPSK
“Oh you don’t like the Moe government, you must not earn money.” 🙄 I do, that’s why I hate the Moe government. They take it and don’t do anything useful that benefits society and when I stand to finally get a little back to support my own kids they bungle that, too.
#skpoli
2. Meara Conway also pointed out blatantly incongruent policy. For instance if you’re a youth in the criminal Justice system, pronouns are recognized at age 12.
Well isn’t that embarrassing?
Gee, jails are more relaxed than schools now?
SARM is against duplicating the policing and wants investments into the existing systems… not brand new ones. No to the Sask Marshalls. 🛑 Interesting! Who is this *for* Minister Tell? Legacy project for you or what rural SK wants?
#skpoli
Moe said a third party investigation is a non-starter. He wants it to go through the close-lipped, secretive, inside processes. Or not at all.
This investigation can’t be done from the inside and it’s obvious why.
Nonetheless, we are calling on the Speaker to call a meeting.
Women undermining traditional gender roles, of course. All of a sudden, women had property rights. Women had the right to vote. They even bobbed their hair! *Gasp*
Briercrest was founded in the midst of the moral panic and economic uncertainty. There is always precedent. (2/4)
Weird how after I publicly stated I knew a witness who saw the gun, and that person came forward, Jeremy Harrison suddenly “remembered”.

everybody knows the truth.
This is our

. I know it’s jarring but as a group of 40-50 gathered at Knox Met to figure out homelessness, before the meeting even concluded someone had overdosed in the park. I don’t know how much more clear we need to be. This is a crisis.
#skpoli
Holy shit. So the Speaker interrupted to welcome me and tell me not to use my phone, despite it not touching my hand once in chamber.
I haven’t and won’t. It goes full power off.
I am a free citizen outside the chamber. Your rules apply in there and I respect them.
#skpoli
Nobody cares that Joe Hargrave has nice things, they care that he’s a hypocrite who thinks there’s two sets of rules.
Don’t you make this about what I don’t have. Make the sacrifice like the rest of us or shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

I’m struggling to formulate a thought to wrap up the end of
#skpoli
session today but the continued laughter and indignation of the House “Leader” as the Speaker recounts something so horrific is … a sight to take in.
Nobody deserves that. I’m in disbelief.
These 3 MLAS in particular loved back-floor hangouts with the boys WAY more than listening, last night. So if you do attend today, do us all a favour and update!
The people are watching.
You’re not stealing the rights of children without answering for yourself.

We want better participation from women in politics?!? I swear if those cameras were on the whole chamber showing what goes down when women are speaking people would be embarrassed in

I half expected someone to ask when their sandwich would be ready.
It was messed up.
It’s unclear if Jeremy is a part of the FAMILY that owns the window business but it is clear they’re a recent source of income.
All I know: This Education Minister is greasier than a canola crushing plant.

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)🧵

Translated news: Sask Justice Minister Bronwyn Eyre is most concerned the judge actually has to hear the evidence and can’t play Candy Crush during court proceedings. Vows to tear apart every inch of the Charter if it means virtue signalling intolerance for sinful trans students.
Color me shocked. A paid internal shill from Rawlco had a hit-piece on Randy Weekes written and approved for publication within 24 hours on

. The state media is shitting its pants and knows there’s more coming so they’re starting the smear early.
Desperate? You bet.
Fun fact;
If you think Jesus died so you could elect politicians who promise to bully trans kids back into the closet, just like they were when you were a child, you’re not a Christian: you’re an asshole.
Mark my words. Right now,

Another witness tells me it was Netflix. Don McMorris — “MLA for the constituency of Netflix” has a nice ring to it. Send him home next election and he can watch it all the time.
#skpoli
Just watched history in the making. In the province that led on human rights, I just watched a slow and painful death of them and not one brave or courageous soul on Govt side did a thing. The purposeful outing of trans kids is now headed to committee.
#skpoli
Yeah let me believe opinion pieces drawn up by *checks notes* Rawlco within 24 hours of the biggest Canadian political scandal of 2024.
They act like we don’t know. 😆
Rawlco isn’t media it’s propaganda.
It will always side with the Premier and parrot the narrative.
@SeanTucker16
Also pointed out by Meara Conway the same can be said in youth criminal Justice and that’s beginning age 12. Jail has more pronoun freedom than school. Read that again.
This is the message from Mr. Weekes.
“I invite you to review the attached document and compare the account of this incident to the incident recounted by former Government House Leader, Jeremy Harrison, on May 24,2024.”
