While @PremierScottMoe celebrates 10 years of AG in Motion here is a list of actual crises that have been going on this decade:

1. #drought in S. Sask
2. #wildfires
3. #HealthCare crisis

#Sask is at a crisis point. Who will step up to do what is needed? #skpoli

@PremierScottMoe decides to focus on forcing treatment on addicts (image 3). Way to punch down, Mr. Premier. #skpoli

Want a more inclusive democracy in #Sask ?

It starts with political finance reform. Eliminate these donations:

Secret numbered and non-Sask based Corps (image 1)
Unlimited (image 2)
"Anonymous" (image 3-4)

Time for a complete overhaul, right @ElectionsSask ?

In 2023 the #Canada gov and @PremierScottMoe struck a #healthcare deal for $111m in extra funding for 10 years (image 1). But, by 2025, #Sask is actually cutting health care spending (image 2) resulting in ER closures, urban and rural(image 3).

Mr. Premier, where is the $$ going? #skpoli

I saw the best thistle seed feeder today! 😜🤪
At least it gave me an appreciation for the fine crop of thistles growing at the local lake.

“Are we getting access to better services? Are our health-care wait times dropping? Are the roads improved? Are we seeing access to better services in terms of teacher contracts?”

At some point the Minister in charge, Tim McLeod, is going to have to take some responsibility for the totally inadequate response to this years' wildfires.

Cutting $500 cheques to those displaced is simply not enough. #skpoli #Sask

Looks like the @MarkJCarney "one economy....not 13" plan of dropping inter-provincial trade barriers for #Canada is progressing well ahead of the #FirstMinisters meeting in #yxe

Well done. #skpoli #saskatchewan
