Do politicians think we’re stupid or have bad memory? It was okay for Pollievre’s government to prorogue parliament in 2008 to prevent a coalition from taking power, but now that Trudeau is in power it would be unconstitutional?
What hypocrisy! Tells you a lot about Pollievre’s character.

Screen shot of a news report from c-fax 1070 (radio station). The full text follows: Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Pollievre suggested today that it could be unconstitutional to prorogue parliament at this time. “The reason is that if you don’t have the confidence of the House of Commons you cannot govern, under our 800-year tradition”, he said. “I would say to the Governor general, that prorogation that prevents us from testing the confidence of this crumbling government would not be allowed under the rules”. Pollievre was on CFAX 1070 with Adam Stirling today. His comments come after a significant week in federal politics, involving former deputy prime minister and finance minister Chrystia Freeland resigning from prime minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet

It’s a bad day out there on the roads in #yqr. This is the 3rd city bus I saw stuck. If you can, it’s a good day to just stay home.

There is so much outside influence (AB in this case) trying to influence the #yqr election.

Boy do we need election reform in this province. The #ndp promised to address this. The #saskparty is more than happy with the status quo. Wonder why 🤔
Screen shot of message sent to iPhone. It reads: “This is Brad from Common Sense Regina. Do you want to help fix City Hall at tomorrow's election? Reply with "Yes" or "No"” A picture appears below the message saying “It’s time for a new common sense mayor and council” with a depiction of a poll taken for the mayoral candidates with Sandra Masters at 31%, Lori Bresciani at 26%, and Chad Bachynski at 17% and Bill Pratt at 16%. Above the poll results is the statement “We asked Regina voters which candidate they’re backing. Now it’s up to you. Don’t waste your vote.”

Not confirmed, but the source here is quite reliable. Snapshot of a Facebook post from Rally Around Homelessness - a Regina poverty/homeless advocacy group. Any journalists want to follow up? #skpoli
🚩 This is a difficult message to write, but in the course of conducting the RAH candidate surveys, Rally Around Homelessness came upon a potential crime that is in the process of being investigated. We alerted Elections Canada, Elections Saskatchewan and the Conservative Party of Canada, as it appears Advance Regina has a mechanism that feeds unauthorized voter info into their candidate app. By using and relying upon CPC and SaskParty data that is not theirs to have, it means any candidate in possession of this app could quickly identify reliable voters and supporters, and potentially attempt to skirt around costs and efforts that would otherwise be required by a grassroots group. Given the recent nature of the last provincial election this data is freshly validated and extremely valuable. The Conservative Party has responded that they did not authorize their list to be used and will investigate. The SaskParty does not publicly list their privacy officer and so far we have not heard from them. We know this investigation will take a very long time. It could be a year or two before this is resolved and all details are reported. (Plus any $ fines.) The RAH political advocacy committee called an emergency meeting to talk about whether this was the right thing to do, but we have the evidence and believe it would be worse to sit back and pretend we don’t know what is happening and leave the public in the dark. We have been fully transparent and this weekend we alerted all candidates that the survey was sent to, originally, of our complaint to the governing bodies who are responsible for fair and transparent elections. If you are a CPC voter or SaskParty voter in Regina it looks like your information has been compromised. We are very sorry to have to share this and for you to find out about the complaint to Elections Canada and Elections Saskatchewan , in this way. We have also alerted the incoming Minister of Justice for Sask. The municipal election is Wedn…
