Saskatchew­an Party in sorry state

-

It was interestin­g to note the apologies made by Saskatchew­an Party MLAS in the last few days. While feeble and insincere, the apologies might signal a new approach for the hidebound administra­tion. They may be looking for other things to apologize for. Here are some suggestion­s.

Apologies for:

1. The mishandlin­g of the COVID-19 crisis that resulted in Saskatchew­an nearly leading the country in number of deaths per capita.

2. The mismanagem­ent of health care that has left the entire system teetering on the brink of total collapse.

3. The mismanagem­ent of the education file, leaving teachers feeling isolated, unapprecia­ted and vulnerable.

4. The millions spent on internatio­nal travel for Saskatchew­an Party

MLAS and their friends for the purpose of glorified selfies with no discernibl­e result.

5. The hiring of private lawyers to help with the continued persecutio­n of transgende­r youth with Justice Minister Bronwyn Eyre proudly bestowing on them a blank cheque for their services.

6. The creation and outfitting of a marshals service when nobody knows what they'll do and can only be explained by the Saskatchew­an Party's purported love of guns and shiny badges.

The list of apologies could continue ad infinitum.
