Sylvia Fedoruk wasn't just the first female Lt. Governor of Saskatchewan.
She was a brilliant physicist who pioneered the use of radiation to treat cancer.
On top of that, she was a Scotties champion and a member of the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame.
This is her story.

I wish everyone in Saskatchewan understood that the amount of money being budgeted to stick it to the federal liberals by in investing in coal plants that are simply leading to climate change and should be phased out is ALSO the same amount as the budget for one year of all of healthcare.

If residents of SK want the federal gov’s attention, we need to stop being a sure thing for the CPC. If our vote is never up for grabs, all federal parties can ignore us. The CPC doesn’t need to work for our vote, & can run ignorant fools— which is why we’ve been ignored.

Great work digging into enrolment and staffing data in this thread!
Dug deeper into this news story I posted 2 days ago to confirm that the student / teacher ratio in Saskatchewan is indeed steadily trending up, including this year. Details in 🧵. 1/
Thousands more Saskatchewan students, but fewer teachers:
SK govt annual Education Staffing Report shows 86 *fewer* classroom + distance learning teachers working today compared to 2020.
In same period student enrollment up 12,869.

This is maddening. 20 years ago was the best time to start modernizing our power production - then we’d have no trouble meeting the 2035 target.
The next best time is RIGHT NOW.

Just so we’re clear, the Sask Party is working on behalf of their big donors, Alberta oil and gas. They will burn the planet to fill their pockets. Climate change will make food more expensive as extreme weather impacts crops and drought impacts cattle. #skpoli

Please read the opening paragraph of this gentleman's obituary, which clarifies the awful legacy of our current provincial government, led by an incompetent Sask Party that is more interested in picking on the vulnerable than trying to improve health care for anyone. Scott Moe is despicable.
