Saskatchewan gets 80% of its electricity from coal & gas. That has to change.
We’ve got uranium, a skilled workforce, and the chance to build a made-in-SK nuclear supply chain.
This isn’t nuclear vs renewables; SK needs both to replace fossil fuels #skpoli

Trump tariffs are hurting Saskatchewan's economy and threatening our sovereignty.
This isn't the time to be channeling Neville Chamberlain.

Deeply saddened and frustrated to learn that the #PrairieLily is canceled for the summer — a huge loss for Saskatoon tourism and local businesses.
I warned the Sask. Party of this possibility in May. They did nothing.
We need a water management plan — and a govt that listens. #SkPoli #prairielily

Today, the Saskatchewan NDP is calling on the Provincial Auditor to conduct a full investigation into the Sask. Party's complete failure to maintain the water bomber fleet needed to protect communities in the North from devastating wildfires.
The people of the North deserve answers, not excuses.

While communities burned, the Sask. Party left nearly half our water bombers sitting idle, including a brand new one. No explanation. No transparency.
After 18 years in power, this tired and out-of-touch government can’t be trusted to protect Saskatchewan families.

🔥 Unprecedented wildfires in the North - 15,000+ evacuated. Homes lost.
Scott Moe claimed a new water bomber wasn’t here yet — but it was.
It sat idle in La Ronge, nearly burned, no pilot hired.
The Sask Party misled the public while communities burned.
They need to answer for this.

Northern Sask is in crisis. Thousands forced to flee wildfires with little warning.
We are calling for a provincewide state of emergency now and daily briefings so people get the info they need to stay safe.
Manitoba’s already acted. Sask can’t afford to wait. Lives and communities are on the line

White City and Emerald Park are long past due for a high school. Why won't the Sask. Party step up, do the right thing and get this school built?

We took a drive out to the Hague Ferry on Wednesday — low river levels & high sandbars mean only 2 vehicles can cross at a time.
Ferries are vital for farmers, families & rural Sask. It’s more than an urban concern — water issues hit ag & rural communities hard.

The South Saskatchewan River has been reduced to sandbars because the Sask. Party ignored years of warnings.
The Prairie Lily’s grounded, festivals are at risk, and public safety compromised. Saskatoon needs its river.
Last Friday, I wrote to the WSA Minister to demand action.

The comments that have emerged from a Sask. Party MLA today are deeply hateful and hurtful.
The apology issued by Racquel Hilbert does little to ease the pain caused by her initial comments, which were clearly and premeditated and written out in advance before being delivered in the Legislature.
