I think Saskatchewan needs to follow the Vatican's approach to announcing new leadership. It would be more honest.

Why do we undervalue the lives of disabled people so much? Why do we expect them to survive on a disability benefit that keeps them below poverty line - especially when being chronically ill drives expenses up?

As oil is tanking I want to remind #abpoli & #saskpoli that when normal Canadians advocate for a green transition, we never ever mean at the expense of Albertans or Saskatchewanians. We mean let’s build a green future with you leading it, and profiting from it instead of oil billionaires.
