Saskatchewan gets 80% of its electricity from coal & gas. That has to change.

We’ve got uranium, a skilled workforce, and the chance to build a made-in-SK nuclear supply chain.

This isn’t nuclear vs renewables; SK needs both to replace fossil fuels #skpoli

Trump tariffs are hurting Saskatchewan's economy and threatening our sovereignty.

This isn't the time to be channeling Neville Chamberlain.

Keep those elbows up! 💪

Deeply saddened and frustrated to learn that the #PrairieLily is canceled for the summer — a huge loss for Saskatoon tourism and local businesses.
I warned the Sask. Party of this possibility in May. They did nothing.
We need a water management plan — and a govt that listens. #SkPoli #prairielily

While communities burned, the Sask. Party left nearly half our water bombers sitting idle, including a brand new one. No explanation. No transparency.

After 18 years in power, this tired and out-of-touch government can’t be trusted to protect Saskatchewan families.

🔥 Unprecedented wildfires in the North - 15,000+ evacuated. Homes lost.

Scott Moe claimed a new water bomber wasn’t here yet — but it was.

It sat idle in La Ronge, nearly burned, no pilot hired.

The Sask Party misled the public while communities burned.

They need to answer for this.

The Scott Moe and the SaskParty have utterly failed the people of Cumberland. #deplorable #skpoli

So proud of @jordanmcp.bsky.social and how he has represented his constituents. #Leadership

Thrilled to take on the role of Shadow Minister for Municipal Affairs! I’ll also keep my duties with Crown Investments, Water Security, SaskWater & as Deputy Chair of the Crown and Central Agency Committee.

Proud to work with @carlabecksk.bsky.social for a better Saskatchewan! 🌿🏡 #skpoli #TeamCarla

Northern Sask is in crisis. Thousands forced to flee wildfires with little warning.

We are calling for a provincewide state of emergency now and daily briefings so people get the info they need to stay safe.

Manitoba’s already acted. Sask can’t afford to wait. Lives and communities are on the line

We took a drive out to the Hague Ferry on Wednesday — low river levels & high sandbars mean only 2 vehicles can cross at a time.

Ferries are vital for farmers, families & rural Sask. It’s more than an urban concern — water issues hit ag & rural communities hard.

The South Saskatchewan River has been reduced to sandbars because the Sask. Party ignored years of warnings.

The Prairie Lily’s grounded, festivals are at risk, and public safety compromised. Saskatoon needs its river.

Last Friday, I wrote to the WSA Minister to demand action.

The South Saskatchewan River is in crisis. The Prairie Lily is shutting down, festivals are at risk, and jobs are being lost. The Minister’s response? Empty words. No plan. No urgency. Saskatoon deserves better — our river and community are worth fighting for.

MOE BROKE PROMISE TO SASKATCHEWAN PEOPLE, CONTINUES TO BANKROLL AMERICAN COMPANY, MAJOR CAMPAIGN FUNDER

Scott Moe promised the people of Saskatchewan he would review and actively move away from contracts with American companies as the Donald Trump trade war rages on.

He’s broken that promise.

Do you know what's *assured* by the Sask Party’s shameful Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disabilty (SAID) program?

Answer: Struggling to survive while being forced to live below the poverty line.

We're demanding better.

Economic anxiety in SK is higher than anywhere else in Canada.

This, as Donald Trump's tariffs loom tomorrow.

The Sask. Party has no plan to protect jobs, communities and our economy.

The people of Saskatchewan deserve better leadership than this. They deserve a Government focused on the future.

Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate! 🙏

The Sask. Party’s carbon tax has been mismanaged from day one, so Scott Moe gets zero credit for removing it.

Now, we have a SP govt with NO PLAN to address the trade war, NO PLAN to create jobs, and a $432-million HOLE in the budget they’re asking the Legislature to vote on Thursday.

The disturbing rise in overdoses and deaths due to this mental health and addiction crisis is alarming.

But the minister won't acknowledge that their plan isn't working and with devastating results.

The SaskParty needs to step up and offer support to families and communities struggling to hang on.
March 27, 2025 at 1:13 PM
Trump's pronouncements today to remove sanctions on Russian fertilizer and ag products lay bare what has literally been feared for months.

After repeated calls, Moe was finally forced to condemn his idol, Donald Trump. Finally.

We need a unified Team Canada approach.
Elbows up, Moe 🇨🇦 🏒 💪

Today, on World Water Day and World Day for Glaciers, let's take a moment to appreciate the role of waters in our lives and our landscapes.

Protecting our water means protecting our future.

Saskatoon is in a public health emergency as a result of drug addiction.

Now 2 libraries are closing bcs they have been forced to fill a treatment and care role that is the responsibility of the Sask. Party Government.

This is a moment for leadership and the Sask. Party is failing on every front.
March 22, 2025 at 2:01 AM
The Sask Party govt has stripped our motion condemning Donald Trump, prioritizing their political allies over standing up for SK.

We introduced it to reaffirm Saskatchewan’s commitment to a strong and united Canada while condemning Trump for attacks on our economy and threats to our sovereignty.
March 20, 2025 at 7:06 PM
The Saskatchewan NDP is proud to stand for Canada against any and all threats.

We will never be the 51st state.
March 20, 2025 at 4:29 PM
The Sask. Party’s budget, released today is not focused on the future.

In fact, it’s not even based in reality.

This budget has no plan for our economy and pretends the last three months haven’t happened.

🚨 Trump wants to annex Canada. His Secretary of State even challenged our sovereignty on Canadian soil.

Your Sask NDP are taking action with an emergency motion to condemn these threats.

Meanwhile, Moe says nothing.

Canada is not for sale. Canada is not the 51st state. 🇨🇦
