In this episode Paul and I try to clear our summer brain fog, nostalgic for a time when a relentless stream of wildfires and smoke didn’t define our glorious but brief reprieve from the snow in Saskatchewan.
But this is the new normal: earlier, longer wildfire seasons and the persistent haze of smoke blanketing yards, outdoor pools and playgrounds.
Meanwhile, as per normal in any kind of crisis, Scott Moe pretends nothing’s happening, downplaying climate change while crashing out elsewhere about something completely disconnected from the real life experience of Saskatchewan people.
Dechene is not super happy with Prime Minister Mark Carney and his recent policy decisions, including cuts to the public service and wobbly outcomes of trade talks with the U.S.
Premier Scott Moe’s horrific leadership has led him to believe his future rests in an exacerbated rural-urban political divide. He thinks we don’t notice his inability to manage his way out of a wet paper bag, as evidenced by the total failure of Regina’s new urgent care center, which has totally failed to deliver the promised 24/7 service.
Moe has to quit, now. Anyone who knows and loves that man should be begging him to do so for his own good, and that of so many others.
Enjoy, T
