It's interesting that a central Poilievre campaign promise is now "I would override the charter of rights and freedoms" www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Poilievre says he'd pass a law that overrides a Charter right. That would be a first for a PM | CBC News
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced a politically groundbreaking promise to become the first prime minister to invoke the notwithstanding clause.

I will say this again (again & again), have the NDP established a list of services/contracts/companies that the Sask Party have used outside of the province/Canada, that could be sourced within Saskatchewan? And are these companies donors to the SP? Would like to see a laundry list published.

The NDP roasted the government in Question Period over the contract with Calgary-based consulting firm Harper & Associates. In a news release NDP pointed to the firm billing the province for $240,000 annually, or $840,000 since 2019.

So unless the Canadian government agrees to let daycares use govt funds to run for-profit businesses, the Saskparty won't sign off. This means many people (mostly women) can't afford to work. This greedy neoliberal govt is acting like petulant children. Private businesses don't deserve public funds.

In November, Canadian e-commerce giant Shopify changed its acceptable use policy to allow hateful content. This week, the company shuttered its Indigenous-led Build Native program and other equity programs. My colleague @madisonmcla.bsky.social has the details 👇 betakit.com/shopify-quie...

Since 2017, increasing PST in has resulted in:
1. decline in investment
2. sluggish job growth
3. increasing tax burden on families
4. decrease in affordability
The list goes on.

Such a sad day for our province. A law that needs to preemptively use the notwithstanding clause because it tramples children's rights and has a clause that acknowledges that harm is likely and that protects the govt from repercussions is nothing but shameful.
