Over 200 parents signed a petition asking Scott Moe to fix the roof at their children's school. They even brought Sask. Party ministers to visit last June.
They were ignored. It flooded again last week.

Western Canada is full of opportunity and I look forward to working together to build a better future for this generation and the next.
This is now the second Sask. Party MLA to be hit with a police investigation in just two months.
One is a bad apple. Two is a pattern.
It’s clear that Scott Moe's government just isn’t living up to the values of Saskatchewan people anymore.
This is truly a horrifying and tragic day. As more news becomes public, this will be a day of mourning not just for Saskatchewan, but for all of Canada.
I can’t imagine the pain of the victims and their families who are dealing with the trauma of this senseless tragedy.

Listening to the Health Min scramble as he tries to answer tough questions on the radio. So far, he has lied about the call to hold back vaccines—again and has thrown officials and Dr. Shahab under the bus. This isn’t the leadership we ever need. This is dangerous in a pandemic.
Let me be clear - we should do everything to help women at risk of breast cancer.
But Scott Moe shouldn't be patting himself on the back for this announcement.
He should be apologizing to women in our province for letting it get so bad.

During a by-election, Scott Moe and the Sask. Party tried to bury a report showing that SaskPower lost $172M last year.

Scott Moe and the Sask. Party are not setting our kids up for success.
It didn't have to come to this.
They have left teachers no choice except to fight for what’s best for our kids.

Food prices have skyrocketed across the province, and it's hit our North the hardest.

Internal emails affirm what we all knew at the time - Scott Moe and his Health Minister played politics instead of listening to the experts.
They waited until it was almost too late to ask for help, and patients paid the price.

Proud to stand with these parents in Moose Jaw who are fed up with the lack of supports and funding for their kids.
