More education money going to the profits of private companies. Every time the Saskparty privatizes a public service money, good jobs, and/or service is lost. Overall detrimental to SK human economy.

Saskatchewan steps up with added funding for an intensive case management program for high-needs folks in Saskatoon. Not a lot of money given the need, but it is a welcome a step forward from the province.
Next: fix problems with social assistance so people can actually pay for & keep housing.

Hello Saskpower. Did you forget the reason you exist. It is not to make profits so the idiot Saskparty can divert more money to their friends. It is to provide power at a reasonable price for the citizens. Solar, wind, and batteries are the future. NOT COAL AND GAS
Australia now has so much solar power that the government will require utilities to sell customers free electricity for 3 hours per day.
