@ItsDeanBlundell @CreekPete2 I was just wondering this the other day. Why does MSM ignore Christian nationalism? If I wasn’t on Twitter, I’d have no idea that evangelicals have captured school boards and various levels of government. It’s mostly ignored in SK. We have one media person reporting on it.

Cronyism is when politicians give advantages to friends, family members, and big donors irregardless of whether or not the advantages were earned. #Skpoli has a massive problem with cronyism. This graphic depicts a tangled web of money that flows freely in Sk, with no scrutiny.🧵

Scott Moe & the Sask Party are collecting a carbon tax quietly, & rolling it into the GRF!? Half a billion & counting!? Seriously, Sask, are you ok with the Sask Party’s fake fight to save you from the carbon tax while they deceptively collecting & pocketing their own? 1/2

The Sask Party is beholden to you, the rural vote. 🔸Contact them. 🔸Rage at them. 🔸Tell them to go to binding arbitration. The government should not be allowed to shirk their responsibility to our kids.🧵

When this government came to power, they reduced the education revenue stream by giving an 80% property tax reduction to farmers. Education has not been properly funded since. And it keeps getting worse with each passing year. It’s like they’ve learned nothing. 4/
