If Scott Moe forces this through using the notwithstanding clause, he is forcing teachers to violate children's rights or risk losing their jobs. How did Saskatchewan get into the hards of such a cruel authoritarian?
6th covid shot. Still no 5G, no magnetic arm, no myocarditis, no clots, no nanobots, no dying suddenly, no zombification, no X-gene activation... I'm beginning to suspect all this does is lower my risk of contracting covid and lower my risk of severe illness.
We don't prevent teen pregnancy by handing out pregnancy tests. We hand out condoms. Why, then, are we handing out millions of rapid tests, but not N95's? Masks cost less & actually *prevent* cases.

#EmergenciesAct
nugget of knowledge is that the truckers were PAID "PROTESTERS" getting multiple envelopes containing $2000 cash. A couple of the organizers testified to passing cash out multiple times. What a fuckin' joke. They got paid, it was a JOB not a PROTEST.
The Liberals (32.6%) and NDP (17.8%) represent the wishes of 50.4% of Canadians. This agreement represents the actual will of the Canadian people. This is democracy.
Thousands of Sask snowflakes are going to melt over this. "Saskatchewan Roughriders logo combines Pride Month and Indigenous History Month in the new logo"
Watching POEC and damn... so glad Justin Trudeau is our Prime Minister. He clearly felt the immense weight of the situation across the country and made decisions not as a Liberal, but as a patriotic Canadian.
#EmergenciesActInquiry
Good morning, Saskatchewan, but especially to Pastors named Todd who likely barely slept a wink after being outed as one of Sask's worst online abusers.
Enjoyed my freedom to protest while comfortably masked and distanced today. Amazing to see a couple hundred people come out and dwarf the number of honkytonks across the road.
The SaskParty gave private schools like Legacy Christian Academy a 17% budget increase for 2022, while your kid's school got less than a tenth of that. Only 1.5%!
Some kids are just worth more than others.
If you have the ability to comprehend what's unsaid here - CSIS is calling Pierre Poilievre, Danielle Smith, Scott Moe and others stochastic terrorists.
241 Saskatchewan people have died from covid in the 8 weeks since since we stopped reporting daily cases.
Guess how long it took to reach our first 241 deaths? 10.5 months.
Covid isn't over.
A 10-year-girl picked up "It's Perfectly Normal" when at the library. She showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father. (1/3)
Wall exchanged texts and phone calls with organizer Chris Barber, suggested his daughter's boyfriend could come help deliver supplies to Ottawa occupation.
Tomorrow's "Freedom Rally" in Regina is a tipping point for the pandemic for Saskatchewan. Either we have rule of law, or we don't. Either rules matter & are enforced, or they don't. Will
@PremierScottMoe
allow ignorant bioterrorists to willfully break the law? Wait & see.
The big announcement! I'm running for the NDP nomination in Saskatoon-University for the next federal election! The pandemic has allowed me to serve this community and I know the work isn't done. With your support, I want to be a voice for progressive change in Canada.

@usask
announces their vaccination policy is removing the negative test option for term 2! Once again, they're leading with science and evidence-backed practices to protect the university community and Saskatoon.
Scott Moe is spreading disinformation.
Misinformation is false.
Disinformation is false with malicious intent.
He's not a leader anymore, he's a con artist.
However bad Saskatchewan's 4th wave gets, however many people die, however many have delayed essential surgeries and medical treatments - always remember we could have avoided ALL of it if we had a government that put people ahead of profits. This was a choice the SaskParty made.
Givesendgo got hacked and the freedom convoy donors had their info released. Now reporters can tell us which politicians and business owners have been funding the occupation.
Is it too early for popcorn?
18 years since everything changed. To all the newly bereaved parents out there - may your sorrow heal into compassion, your emptiness be replaced by generosity & your loss embolden you to create more kindness in the world.
Saskatchewan Chldren's Advocate has found Moe's policy to violate provincial, national and international law. If you still support it, you are an unethical person who wants to harm children.
Hey Saskatchewan, I'd like you to know that my 5 kids are NOT going back to school this week. In the absence of evidence-based pandemic leadership in SK, our family has made the decision to act & remote-school to protect ourselves, other students, teachers & staff.
Health Minister
@MerrimanPaul
defends his lack of availability because he's been busy with other issues as health minister. Sorry, Paul, when covid stops elective surgeries, cancer treatments and organ transplants there's really one big issue that needs your attention.
At one point, we were all in this together. No longer.
When Regina school boards are shutting schools to keep students and teachers safe, but the bars and restaurants are open - you know the SaskParty government has traded the future of this province for cronyism.
Grief echoes can hit hard, even 25 years later. I just teared up that my mom never got to see the neurodivergent kid w/ crippling social anxiety be an expert in a live national TV interview. I'm sure I made her proud. 🥰
Reminder - Saskatchewan's 4th wave was the deadliest one in Canada because we dismantled our test/trace/isolate system. By stopping PCR testing, the
@SaskParty
is gambling with citizen's lives.
Sask residents are angry that the 4th wave numbers are rising. Yes, the unvax are the reason Delta is spreading. But more importantly, remember it's Moe's refusal to enact vax passports & incentives similar to Manitoba. Your anger & blame is better directed at
@PremierScottMoe
Today is 14 days after my 2nd dose of covid vaccine. I'm fully protected, but it's not absolute. I could still pass Delta to my young children or other unvaccinated people who could get severely ill. Caring about others don't stop once I'm safe, because the pandemic isn't over.
Stop mandating the amount of fecal bacteria in my drinking water. If you want chlorine in your water, you can add it at home. Trust your natural immunity to cholera.
So you've been recently vaccinated:
Protect yourself for the next 2 weeks like you're running down the last 2 minutes of a 1-goal lead in game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. Now isn't the time to take risks. Protection takes at least 2 weeks. "Play" as defensively as possible.
Saskatchewan's gov fully understands that children have a right to confidentiality over their personal information, that's why parents lose access to their health records when they turn 14. Forcing teachers to disclose personal health info against a child's consent is abusive.
Scott Moe, Dustin Duncan, Nadine Wilson et al promoting bigotry and intolerance in Saskatchewan schools has forced Yorkton's GSSD to release this anti-propaganda leaflet. The brainwashing is coming from inside the lege.
#skpoli
"As of today Sask schools need parental permission for a mature minor to choose to use different pronouns"
Make no mistake, this is a THREAT to gender non-conforming kids that your school won't protect you from your abusive parents.
Do you suffer from Premature Legislation? Electile dysfunction? Has your massive lead in the polls turned into a limp loss of by-elections?
Many Premiers struggle with their aging mandate. Feel like a big man again, ask your doctor if suspending human rights can work for you.
Today the Parents Bill of Rights Act was introduced in the House.
Unlike the NDP who want to keep parents in the dark, your Saskatchewan Party government will ensure parents are a part of every important decision involving your child’s education.
Let me get this straight - People who did everything right get to pay for their surgeries, while people who refused vaccinations get tens of thousands of dollars (or more) of free treatment? Such moral depravity.
Fondly recalling when RWNJ Sask twitter was applauding this movie that experts in child protection warned was propaganda. Now this. Wake up nutters, you're being played soooooooo hard.
This is a big fuckin' deal. Human rights commissioner resigning in protest to show contempt for a disgusting government that steamrolls the rights of children. If Moe had any shame, maybe he'd listen, but we know he lost any he had left when he left a mother to die.
The Saskatchewan Human Rights Commissioner has resigned due to the governments pronoun policy.
She said this “is something I cannot be a part of, and I will not be associated with a provincial government that takes away the rights of children, especially vulnerable children.”
Some may call it "complaining on Twitter", others might call it "a public campaign for policy change that got a half million views in 24 hours".
Either way, I'm proud to be part of this Saskatchewan community. Goodnight, everyone, & stay safe out there. 🥰
You're all going to be exposed to an infectious dose of Omicron more than once in the next couple months. You can choose to have (in protective order) freshly boosted immunity, waning vaccinated immunity, post-infection immunity, or none at all. Trust science, not fools.
Interesting. From the province that brought you "covid is over" it's.... the highest weekly death rate in the country. Scott Moe must be so proud of how he's blocked the release of data to Health Canada to hide his failure.
Remember when Scott Moe and the SaskParty had a convicted murderer as a special guest at the Legislature? Man, that seems like a million years ago (11 months ago). I can't wait to hear Scott Moe defending Trudeau the same way he defended himself.
Dr. Shahab just said our case rate is producing 25 hospitalizations and 5 ICU admissions per day. That means their unwillingness to act is costing us around $850,000 Every. Single. Day.
@SaskParty
I thought you were about fiscal responsibility. What happened?
Parents of trans children in Saskatchewan are reporting that Edsby (the online school portal) has had settings changed to deadname children, outing them as trans to classmates and teachers that would not necessarily know they are trans. This will encourage harassment & abuse.
True story about Moe. He came as part of 🇨🇦 COP22 delegation. I worked w him on Sask issues with Morocco over lentils & promoted Boundary Dam. I also gave Moe numbers that showed he could use revenues from carbon pricing to eliminate PST. He came back & threw fed govt under bus.
Dear
@SaskParty
,
I'm raging at how you're letting people suffer & die, and I'm never going to be silent about it. Not today, not ever. 10,000 people a day visit my twitter profile, and I promise to keep telling them how you're failing this province until I'm out of breath.
I wonder how many bright Saskatchewan minds will flee the province over the next decade because our province's collective inaction showed the level of ignorance, malice and hate our citizens have for each other.
The costs of Moe's failures will be paid for a generation.
Shahab says it only takes 5% to 10% of people not following guidelines to render them ineffective, yet expects us to have universal compliance.
Is he aware that SK has higher DUI and STI rates than most of Canada? Universal compliance isn't a Saskatchewan trait.
Saskatchewan's latest child death from covid finally got reported in the provincial tally today. I didn't notice Moe, Merriman, Shahab or Pritchard extend any condolences to the family. How did we become such a discompassionate province?
I'm disappointed that Scott Moe wasted Dr. Moriarty's time like this, but if he's going to lie and defame her, he deserves to be shown for the incompetent fool that he is.

Attached, please find screenshots of my response to your characterization of the Royal Society of Canada's report on Canadian mortality during COVID-19 as "the most egregious misinformation of the pandemic".
The text follows in this thread.
Ran into a neighbor at the post office. She told me her daughter works at a farm supply store in Saskatoon and they're having to actively stop people from buying dewormer by asking questions and checking addresses.
I laughed until I was a little hoarse 😉
Triple relief today 😁 My brilliant vaxteens even filled out all their own paperwork and gave consent as mature minors. If any of them were old enough to drive I could have just stayed home 😂

"Kids shouldn’t be penalized if their parents don’t vaccinate them" - Dr. Shahab
Oh, so they & their antivax parents should be rewarded? And everyone else should be penalized by being put at a higher risk of exposure? I'm so tired of this antivax pandering from our "leaders".
1 in 262 people in Regina is covid+ today. 1 in 254 people in Saskatoon is covid+ today.
Getting 100's of maskless, non-distanced people from the 2 cities together to "protest" pandemic safety is dangerously selfish and stupid. They aren't patriots, they're traitors to society.
There are thousands of current and former NHL players alive, right? Weird that I haven't seen any put out statements condemning paying off the rape victims of future teammates by Hockey Canada.
Almost like it's an old boys club that protects their own.
20 million for a new police force that Saskatchwan's current police called "absolutely unnecessary". Imagine if that went into healthcare or education instead of militarization of rural policing, what a better society we'd have.
The far-right insurrection in the US can happen here. Saskatchewan's anti-mask "freedom" groups are inseparable from the yellow vests, proud boys & People's Party. The hate, racism & xenophobia isn't a side-effect - it's the lifeblood driving them.
This is what Scott Moe's hands-off covid ideology has done for Saskatchewan. The most deaths of any place in Canada for 2021, nearly twice the national average.
Frontline workers gave up seeing their families for months to protect them. Excuse me if I don't shed a tear for people "forced to give up to their passion for that Mosaic Statium feeling" because of "Sagragation" 🤦
Trudeau is too clever. With the act is revoked, all those provinces that said, "We have all the powers we need" will be put on the spot to use them if blockades return. He called their bluff they wouldn't act, now he's calling their bluff to force them to act if needed.
Me dropping off the kids this morning: "You're all double-vaccinated and wearing N95's. I fully expect schools to get shut down, so the goal is to stay uninfected until then."
Saskatchewan should be racing Omicron by expanding the booster team. Call up the second line. The dental hygienists, nursing students, vet students - remember that part of the plan? Get those 500,000 freezer doses into arms ASAP.

Thank you,
@SaskParty
, for giving the green light to a full exploration of Scott Moe. The supposed DUIs, accident causing death, bankruptcies, family pardoning and whatever else.
I have more than 1 kid attending a
@GSCSNews
school. I have more than 1 kid that is represented by the rainbow tent. This type of hatred directed at my children and 1000+ other 2SLGBTQ+ kids in the GSCS system by the person overseeing their school is the act of a sick coward.
Vaccine requirements coming for ALL air passengers. Before you talk about rights, remember that they already scan you for metal, swab you for bomb residue, bodily-search you & X-ray your belongings before you get on a plane. You don't have a right to fly, it is a *privilege*.
In the last week 28 Saskatchewan people have died of covid. Twenty-eight dead in seven days. It took 242 days from the start of the pandemic to reach the first 28 deaths. Don't tell me I've been too alarmist. Those people's lives mattered. This is an ongoing tragedy.
The antivaxxers are now threatening to storm the police station in Saskatoon. This seems unwise. Maybe Saskatchewan shouldn't have pandered to them for so long?
