Let's bring our country together.

Let's grow our economy.

Let's remain the true north, strong and free.

The Sask. Party claims they had to fulfill Transport Canada guidelines, but this is disingenuous. They knew this plane was on the way for a year, and should have had a plan to be ready for fire season.
Scott Moe needs to answer why his government let this water bomber collect dust and he needs to answer for why he either lied to the public, or was asleep at the wheel during a wildfire crisis unlike any we’ve seen in a decade.
The moment this plane arrived, the government should have brought it into action, dumping water on the fires burning our communities.
While people were fleeing their homes and communities were burning, the Sask. Party left a brand new and badly needed airtanker sitting on the tarmac.
Wildfire evacuees stood with Saskatchewan NDP MLAs outside the Sask. Party cabinet office yesterday to condemn the Sask. Party's failed wildfire response — from rejecting federal military help to touting a financial aid program evacuees say isn’t actually helping yet.

The time to act is now.
Congrats to @mearaconwaymla.bsky.social, who is taking on the role of Health Shadow Minister.

I'm thrilled to focus on my role as Deputy Leader moving forward. ❤️

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
This is a crisis, not a coincidence. When nearly 100 people are packed into an ER designed for half of that, with patients on stretchers in hallways, no curtains, no privacy — this is a clear sign our healthcare system is overwhelmed.

People deserve better, and healthcare workers deserve better.
At St. Paul’s Hospital, there were 53 patients in an emergency room designed for 28, forcing patients to be treated in the waiting room (attached photos).
As of Tuesday afternoon, 93 patients were packed into the RUH emergency room designed for half of that. Stretchers lined public hallways leaving patients without privacy or dignity.
The Saskatchewan NDP is sounding the alarm after learning from frontline workers that the emergency rooms in both the Royal University Hospital (RUH) and St. Paul’s Hospital were operating dangerously overcapacity on Tuesday.
Aiden and I took the office mobile tonight, fought off the rain, and had some great conversations about the work we are doing while connecting with constituents. 🌧
We need to work together to get everyone access to a family doctor in Sask, gather statistics by community, and work toward real team-based care.

We in the Sask NDP will always be willing, collaborative partners. Thank you for taking the time to chat with us.
It was a pleasure for @mearaconwaymla.bsky.social and I to meet with Dr. Darcie McGonigle and Lisa Bagonluri from the Saskatchewan College of Family Physicians this past week.
Canada 1st. Never 51st. 🇨🇦

Documents/communication on socials suggests connections between SaskParty MLA’s Chan/Martens & Unified Grassroots, as that organization is actively trying to break up Saskatchewan from Canada. Shame.

The overwhelming majority of SK deserves answers.

More than 3,000 people in the province stand to benefit from this epilepsy drug being covered.

I am proud to have worked with advocates to get Xcopri covered under the Saskatchewan formulary. 💊

Thx to Vidya Reddy & AIDSProgramSouthSK for providing Naloxone training for SaskNDP, Monday

Their session provided us with background on how Naloxone saves lives & how harm reduction is an integral mechanism between addiction & recovery

Their public education is so crucial

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.

Canadians are strong.

We are hardworking.
We care for each other.
We love our country very much.

This is a fight we did not pick but we will not back down from.

I am so proud to be Canadian today and every day. 🇨🇦
It's unbelievable that the Sask Party government would choose to cut healthcare in their provincial budget.

This budget has no plan for the economy and pretends the last 3 months haven't happened.

They're not focused on the future and are ignoring the realities we face today.

🚨The General Hospital has declared a “code orange” where strategies reserved for mass casualties events are employed.🚨

No this is not normal. No this is not OK.

The cause? A modelled influenza surge.

The Sask Party is flirting with full-on healthcare catastrophy. #skpoli
