Happy Monday!
In today’s episode, which was recorded yesterday morning (Sunday October 6, 2024), I wandered around while we chatted, not realizing my laptop mic was the one being recorded (as opposed to the one I was holding) so unfortunately my audio is kind of all over the map.
But you’ll get the gist.
I get candid about my sincere confusion regarding what the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation has been doing for… years? Holding a closed education forum with the former MLA for The Battlefords (who should NOT be appearing anywhere as Minister of Education) during a 27-day writ campaign is a weird move.
I haven’t understood the STF for a long time. This has earned me the ire of more than a few teachers, but I’m sorry, I don’t blindly support anything. I can’t. I just don’t get it.
Mandryk came up - specifically, why he doesn’t seem to ever evoke the decades of memory he very much possesses of Saskatchewan politics. He’s practically lived in the Legislature for 40 years, yet somehow still brings up Spudco?
By the way, on the scale of scandals in the province, Spudco doesn’t even rate. If I ever hear that term again it’ll be too soon.
The G.O.A.T. though: Stef Langenegger. Your favorite journalist’s favorite journalist. The woman is the consummate professional, protect her at all costs. She’s also just an amazing human being. We talk about her too.
Anyway, we’re about to record a bonus episode, because we just didn’t get to cover everything yesterday, so you’ll get another one in the next few days.
Thanks for listening! I literally cannot believe how many of you do. Remember it’s free, so forward to whoever you think might enjoy.
Talk soon, T
