Saskatchewan Closed Its Largest City's Biggest Homeless Shelter & Then Gave Public Money To the Saskatchewan Roughriders

Got your Grey Cup ticket? You should, because you're paying for the show.

Okay fine, maybe suggesting the money went straight from one to another is a stretch.

Or is it?

In the Saskatchewan Legislature, an Order In Council (OC) is a decree, regulation, payment or other declaration dreamt up by Scott Moe and then signed off by his cabinet ministers; no Opposition or public scrutiny required. Once that process is complete, the OC is forwarded to the Lt Governor for his signature, which apparently he’ll even provide on a Saturday.

On October 6, 2022, everybody’s favorite Cabinet Minister, the super-likable Jeremy Harrison, or Weeman (as I’ve started calling him in a nod to my favorite show, Jackass) (yes, I appreciate that checks out - have you seen the Shark Week episodes? Best ever.) ordered $3-million tax dollars be donated to the Saskatchewan Roughriders for the team’s operations.

No, not just for the Grey Cup Festival.
