.@PremierScottMoe’s minister of procurement just said that hiring Saskatchewan companies for major project is “reckless”. Wow. Out of touch and insulting Saskatchewan workers. The @SaskParty way.

Wouldn’t be a day ending in Y without @PremierScottMoe and the @SaskParty standing up and cheering their decision to hike power bills by $136,000,000. The same rate hike they lied and said wasn’t coming.

.@SaskParty Health Minister @jeremycockrill desperately trying to hide his utter failure on rural healthcare are now claiming that there are no closures of rural ER’s only “temporary service disruptions”. No wonder the people of Saskatchewan don’t take him seriously.

.@PremierScottMoe refused to take action on AI price gouging. Disappointing, but it actually makes sense when you remember how proudly he and the rest of the @SaskParty stood to vote to hike taxes on groceries.

Tells you exactly how out of touch @PremierScottMoe is when he brags about utility rates in Saskatchewan at the same time he is hiking them by $136,000,000.

@McCormickTyler_ @SaskParty Well he said he did last year. But it turned out to be a $1,200,000,000 deficit…

@SaskParty You have steadily increase the deficit. Name the last year you had a surplus.

Tax deadline is fast approaching. The Saskatchewan Party has steadily decreased taxes, including in this year’s budget. The NDP voted against these measures to keep Saskatchewan the most affordable place in Canada.

Weird choice for @PremierScottMoe & the @SaskParty to brag about all the crime happening under their watch at the same time they are spending $400,000,000 more on debt servicing than on law enforcement.

.@PremierScottMoe doesn't know how much his power plan will cost. He didn't know that his @SaskParty cabinet was planning to hike power bills by $136,000,000. He didn't know that his Advanced Ed Minister was subletting his office against the rules. Embarrassing. He has no clue

All elected officials take an oath to serve our communities with honesty and integrity. It is deeply troubling to see that Sask. Party Minister Ken Cheveldayoff lied to the media and to the public about information concerning the Sublet Scandal. There is clear evidence that he was subleasing his taxpayer-funded office. A few weeks ago, the Minister insisted it was a “split-lease,” in multiple press interviews. This whole thing warrants a formal investigation. The people of Saskatchewan expect more from their representatives, and frankly, so should the Premier.

.@SaskParty MLA’s applauding the Minister of Social Services for defending his policy of kicking seniors out of their houses tell you everything single thing you need to know about them.

@PremierScottMoe Remember when @PremierScottMoe promised he weren’t going to raise rates and then almost immediately raise them $136,000,000? Remember when he promised his plan would cost $900M when it actually cost three times that? Zero credibility and broken promises. All he has.

The NDP Leader says their power generation plan will rely on LNG (liquefied natural gas) for base load power. LNG would have to be shipped in from BC at 10 times the cost of SaskPower’s current natural gas supply. That’s the NDP plan. Spend 10 times as much on generation and drive SaskPower rates through the roof. No wonder no one takes them seriously.

A heartbreaking and devastating health authority memo has been provided to our team that we’re bringing to light today. Effective April 1, all medically complex procedures involving infants born at full term up to eight weeks of age or infants born premature up to 48 weeks post-date of conception will now be transferred out of Regina to the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon. Sources said transportation of critically ill infants can often take hours to arrange, putting babies in medical distress at risk of serious and permanent injury — or even death. These are babies, many just days old, and they’re being denied healthcare. How can Scott Moe still look the people of Saskatchewan in the eye and claim to be putting their healthcare and that of their children first? This comes down to priorities and it comes down to choices not made by a 20-year-old government that stopped doing its job long ago.

.@SaskParty Finance Minister stands up in the Assembly and complains that the @Sask_NDP is asking that taxes be cut.

Utterly incoherent answers from @PremierScottMoe who in response to a question about his $136,000,000 power bill hike, launched into a bizarre rant about Greys Anatomy. Embarrassing.

@VickSavage5w6n @PremierScottMoe Oh I have faith my friend. Appreciate your concern though!

Wow. @PremierScottMoe claims Saskatchewan is the more affordable province, but his own budget shows that he imposed higher taxes and utility bills than in Vancouver. And after his $136M utility bill hike families are paying over $500 more for electricity. Time for change.

@Bt2Dr4 @PremierScottMoe Maybe I’ve got this wrong…let me double check…let’s see… $1,566 (YQR) is more than $1,019 (YVR) electricity bills $3,054 (YQR) is more than $2,475 (YVR) provincial taxes Nope my math is good.

@tsockley @PremierScottMoe Dippers need to learn math

A family in Regina pays more in taxes than a family in Vancouver. The proof of that is right in Scott Moe's own bad news budget. It's time to make YOUR life more affordable. It's time for change.

@Chad_Moats @SolitaireGOAT @PremierScottMoe So you’d agree that under the things that the province controls (taxes and utilities) Scott Moe has made Regina more expensive than Vancouver.

@SolitaireGOAT @tsockley @PremierScottMoe Yes, not including rent/mortgage costs.

@SolitaireGOAT @PremierScottMoe I’m saying that under Scott Moe the people of Vancouver are paying less in Tax and Electricity than the people of Regina. I wouldn’t have believed it before I read it in Scott Moe’s own budget!

@tsockley @PremierScottMoe Are you saying Vancouver is more affordable than Saskatchewan?
