$5,800 donation to the Sask United Party by "Anonymous, Anonymous" (which is very much illegal in our province). $465,000 loan aka donation by the Sask United Party leader's corporation (which is legal). We need reform of our ridiculously weak political donation laws.
I wrote a letter recently. Here is the completely inadequate response from our Justice Minister. I guess I am wrong, we have a robust and transparent political donation process. Silly me. Pathetic.
Rider fan@greycupbound.bsky.social · last yr.Maybe Saskatchewanians need to demand a referendum on getting transparency on numbered companies. Or maybe write 7 or 8 letters to get the government to use the Notwithstanding Clause. That's how it works, right? 😄😄🙄
Anonymous donation to the Sask Party last year. $25k from a numbered Alberta Corporation. No problem? Not under our outdated wild west political donation laws.
I was in the room and glad to see my colleagues asking tough questions about the new Urgent Care Clinics being planned around the province. The health minister did not adequately answer the questions asked of him. globalnews.ca/news/1116217...

We are up to 550 signatures, which is amazing! I truly believe that there are far more of you out there who, like me, believe that we need to take large donations out of the equation when our politicians are crafting policy. Please sign & share 😀 www.change.org/Saskatchewan...

The SIPPA program is important in that it provides a stream of physicians entering our province who otherwise wouldn’t. I’m very curious about the medium to long term retention rates though as it seems they so rarely stay in our province.

This. This is what brought in changes to family med that swept the nation. Up until now all rallies that I’m aware of in SK have been organized by unions and have been shrugged off. I believe we need a critical mass of public pressure to achieve change. www.timescolonist.com/local-news/r...

Millicent (cenobyte) Bystander, Snark Czar@cenobyte.ca · 2y agoHow do we start fixing the health care crisis in this province? Other than ousting the poops who think privatisation is the answer (likely because many of them have family members in the biz).

From @tammyrobert.bsky.social (who I don't think is active on here). I have been one of the people in Saskatchewan beating this same drum for a few years now. We NEED to change our political donation rules in SK. It is a "boring topic" but I believe the number 1 issue in the province today.
“We need to unleash the efficiency of the free market in our health care system.” I hear this often. This thread outlines an example whereby a doctor spent nearly 10 extra minutes just to write a simple Rx. And this isn’t rare. Our system needs improvement but we need to do so carefully.

Agree. Ignore him. He is like a child seeking attention. Didn’t Trump say he was going to buy Greenland in his first term?
Occupy Calgary 🇨🇦@calgaryoccupy.bsky.social · 2y ago~I'm not saying we shouldn't take Trump seriously. What I'm saying is we shouldn't make a big deal out of his infantile comments because that is exactly what he wants. He wants to get a rise out of us and piss us off. He's baiting us. Don't fall for it.
Grewal was an MLA when he violated the COI act to the tune of nearly $1M. Deciding not to run in the next election should not confer any sort of immunity from consequences of this. Moe just looks weak here. Again.
