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 👉 perspectivesjournal.ca/canadas-nucl...

Our letter to Mayor Cynthia Block and Police Chief Cameron McBride regarding the booking of a park in Saskatoon for a performance by Sean Feucht. The hateful views of Sean Feucht have no place in our city. @nathanielteed.bsky.social @erikaritchie.bsky.social @saskndp.bsky.social

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

Today, the Saskatchewan NDP is calling on the Provincial Auditor to conduct a full investigation into the Sask. Party's complete failure to maintain the water bomber fleet needed to protect communities in the North from devastating wildfires. The people of the North deserve answers, not excuses.

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. #skpoli #wildfires #Saskatchewan

🔥 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.

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. #skpoli

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. #skpoli #yxe

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. #yxe #skpoli #water #prairielily

Scott Moe had two opportunities this week to shut down talk of separation once and for all — and he didn’t.   Saskatchewan people deserve better than vague answers when the unity and future of the country is on the line.

The comments that have emerged from a Sask. Party MLA today are deeply hateful and hurtful. The apology issued by Racquel Hilbert does little to ease the pain caused by her initial comments, which were clearly and premeditated and written out in advance before being delivered in the Legislature.

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.

2/3 Not only is this an attack on the brave people of Ukraine, this decision, when coupled with the tariffs, could shutter potash mines and bankrupt farmers across Saskatchewan. To date, Scott Moe has no plan to address the tariffs and has been soft on Trump, refusing to condemn him by name.
