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.
