Municipalities in Saskatchewan - across Saskatchewan - have been donating to the Sask Party for years. So has the Sask Teachers' Federation and more than a few unions. Pointing out all of this has earned me nothing more than the ire of this entire fucking province. But sure Kate, brag about it.

I would have no problem with that as most of her issues were being manipulated by others and having to handle others who were problematic. She started well, it got all messed up, but she'd steered it clear and safe in the end. It was a learning curve. But at least Nelson & Bresciani are gone.

Yes, but... that's still not ideal. I genuinely believe Masters would have been granted a second term by many if not most Regina voters if she was a man. Keep in mind that virtually every voter on these social media platforms is not "many if not most" - you are an anomaly who pays attention.

This photo from Mandryk's column - in which he casually dropped the bombshell (Jason Wall) he'd been hiding - of Regina's new mayor, on the night he won, just blew my mind. "Whaaaaaa....? Me Mayor?"

Again - in Regina I would have voted Sandra Masters over this:

Help me out Regina. Do you know what it takes to even be in management at a Crown Corp under a Sask Party government in 2024? If you voted for him, cool. Own it, but spare me any willfull blindness over the very obvious issues with this kid.

I'm going to be deadass honest/unpopular here too - Sandra Masters sucked, but given the choices on that ballot, she should have been given another term. Had she been a Shawn Masters, I'm 99% positive she would have received it. Instead yqr voters opted to gamble on Chad from 98°. I don't get it.

Chad boasted on his really weak campaign website that his knowledge of construction contracts was his greatest strength going into the mayor's job. Chad had better stay TF out of the City of Regina's construction contract procurement. You're in trouble, still, Regina.

He looks like a fucking Marvel villain

Can somebody help me understand why Regina reporters hid the fact that Jason Wall was Lori Bresciani's campaign manager? The audacity of Murray Mandryk, casually dropping that little bombshell in his first column AFTER Regina voted, is sickening & stunning. That little man must be fully unwell.

Doesn't matter, they still get the transition allowance. And before you argue with me, let's think about longtime NDP MLAs who sat in Opposition for over a decade - they quit, in part, because would YOU do it for that long?? They got the transition allowance too, deservedly.

Glad to have made the switch over to Bluesky. While I will be politically less active, the work of our foundation Orange Ribbons for Jaime will go forward. Take a look at what we are currently up to orangeribbonsforjaime.org Please take a look and hope you are able to support.

I would like to reiterate: We own everything. The broadcasting equipment, the supplements, the intellectual property for Brain Force Plus. We are still trying to figure out what to do with it.

Oh god our mayor looks like a member of 98 Degrees

Regina's new mayor Chad Bachynsk. It's very hard to describe what's happening with this man's hair, it is saved very close on the sides and then excessively gelled and sticking straight up on top. He looks like a boy band member.

Masters had a lot of baggage. A lot due to no experience with the mayor's office. I think she would have done a much better job in a 2nd term. Especially going in knowing it would be her last.

Dale is correct, my bad. It's a month for every year, up to a year. So Dana Skoropad and Ken Francis will be paid for by the taxpayer until the end of February. Bronwyn til the end of June. Makowsky will get a full year of public salary.

Yes, I guess my position is Regina would have been better off with Sandra Masters than an overconfident, unknown white manchild with absolutely no qualifications or experience.

This morning the Sask Party AND the Conservative Party of Canada are shitting themselves. They have lost massive swaths of power at the micro level, where it matters to them the most. Do not expect them to take this lying down. If you thought the meddling was bad before... yikes.

Haven't looked yet, but voter turnout seems like it could be a factor in these municipal results? Maybe frustrated but historically municipally unengaged progressives saw the provincial result and decided to go vote in the city election instead of giving up?

Was shocked to learn how many Saskatchewan residents are unaware that all the Sask Party MLAs who quit or chose not to run again - including Eyre, Makowsky, Merriman etc - will be paid, in full and by the taxpayer, for another entire year.

I am hearing word that Alex Jones, in true Alex Jones fashion, is reading the press release from our fictitious CEO as fact.

While not nearly as socially acceptable as Mayor Chad with the Good Hair, Dancing Bob would have likely been as competent. Seriously. Dancing Bob is not dumb, in fact he's shockingly articulate.

Chuck Wendig @chuckwendig.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Robert Pearce and Randy Donauer are two religious whackjobs in a pod. The rest though? That's a fantastically decent Mayor and City Council right there. Senos Timon? #chefskiss

Holy shit. A sustained round of applause for @bencollins.bsky.social, the Onion team, and the Sandy Hook families. Wow.

Literally. Regina just elected the Chaddiest Chad you're ever going to meet

Regina mayor Chad may have a "deep understanding" of government procurement, but has zero understanding of what the job actually entails. I suspect this wasn't taken seriously because he shouldn't have been a serious candidate. Feel free to argue. I'll gladly come back to you in 6 mos, LOLing.

030

This. This is the only appropriate response to electing Chad in Regina. What the fucking fuck lolololol

Cynthia will be fine. Chad is probably worse than Masters. An unqualified manchild. I see some of you celebrating because he's *not* Bresciani or Masters - so? Can you politically grow tf up, please? None of this was ideal for Regina, which is now being led by... nobody. It's a clown car.
