The Sask Party's Latest Decree For Classrooms Is Peak Stupid, Amazing.
Bottom line is Scott Moe will teach your kids how to hate and no one else, thank you very much.
Sorry this is late today, I’ve got a bit going on at the moment.
First, a quick word on last night’s Saskatoon byelection.
Congratulations to Nathaniel Teed, new Saskatchewan NDP MLA for Saskatoon-Meewasin. He won’t be as good as Ryan Meili, but good luck to him anyway.
Congratulations to all candidates who threw their hat into the ring.
Except for Mark Friesen. He can f**k right off now, thanks.
Well, Kim Groff could probably take a hint as well. Good second try buddy, but you will never, ever get elected. Go home before I start calling you Robin Bellamy.
I’m not feeling super gracious about any of it. The overall voter turnout was garbage and the NDP scraped together the least amount of votes they’ve ever earned in that riding, win or lose, ever.
With the sheer volume of Sask Party dumpster fires dotting our provincial landscape, urban Saskatoon residents should have been lining up to vote for the NDP, or at least to keep the Sask Party candidate out.
They did not.
When the NDP is done patting itself on the back, they need to go back to facing the reality that they have a ton of work to do in order to properly represent themselves in the next general election, nevermind if they ever want to properly represent us in government.
With apologies to everyone who thinks I’m awful for pointing out any of this, including facts on the numbers - this was not a win for the Saskatchewan NDP.
It was, however, a massive and humiliating loss for Scott Moe, which is a big win for the rest of us. I suspect it changes nothing in his arrogant, uneducated and incompetent approach to managing the province, but Moe also knows he’s now the proud owner of the worst Sask Party voter turnout in his party’s history.
Keep up the good work Scooter, you’re killing it, like you always do.
Once again this is a patented Tammy moment, where I thought things couldn’t possibly get worse in Saskatchewan until they did.
While I’m sure the Sask Party will eventually find a way to get around this too, the Ministry of Education cannot technically advise teachers about their classrooms directly.
The chain of communication goes from the Ministry of Education to Saskatchewan school boards, which are responsible for further disseminating the information, including to school principals and eventually, teachers.
It sounds like these communiques are shared a number of ways, but it was one that went out from Dustin Duncan’s Ministry of Education on Friday that caught a discerning reader’s eye, who sent it my way.
What kind of atrocities could Ministry of Education employee Derek Smith be so concerned about, that he’d go out of his way to advise Saskatchewan teachers than they cannot use a resource designed to educate kids on confronting and preventing hate in their school?
Well, for starters it’s not just any anti-hate resource… it’s Justin Trudeau’s anti-hate resource.
Because the Sask Party government is too stupid to understand the difference anymore, they believe everything federal, except for the cash they gobble up like the greedy trough pigs they are, is directly related to Justin Trudeau and the Liberals.
What?
Obviously the Prime Minister of Canada, including Stephen Harper, directly interfered in the millions of hours of minutia managed by the federal government. It just wasn’t a problem in Saskatchewan until recently, because Stephen Harper was the right political stripe.
I can’t believe you guys didn’t know that.
This place is so hillbilly right now. The fumes are giving me a headache.
I cannot think of a province right now that needs to be teaching anti-hate to its kids more than Saskatchewan.
Actually I can’t think of a province right now that needs to be teaching anti-hate to its government more than Saskatchewan.
Just like love is love, hate is hate. The Saskatchewan government does not have a better grasp of how to keep our kids away from it; in fact I’d venture the opposite. To deny teachers and kids this resource is disgusting.
The fact the Sask Party cut you and your kids off from a resource you paid for with your federal tax dollars, produced by a level of government you democratically elected whether Scott Moe likes it or not, seems downright disturbing.
Authoritarian, even.
If someone you know is not worried at this point about the viability and stability of the future of Saskatchewan, nevermind that of your kids in it (despite now being protected from the evils of another federal program), they’re either stupid or not paying attention.
Educate them on a few things, would you?
The disturbing politicization - bizarre indoctrination - the Sask Party is imposing on K-12 schools and the system that takes care of your health and keeps you alive is unprecedented, dangerous and unbelievably, historically negligent governance.
I’ll be in a better mood on Friday, probably. We’ll see what fresh Saskatchewan delights this new week brings lol.
Talk soon,
