From Man in Motion to Many in Motion … always wonderful to get to sit down with the inspiring Rick Hansen.
Excited for our announcement tomorrow.

Earlier this year, the Federal Government announced the planned closure of the Indian Head and Scott Research Farms. We are working to make sure that will not happen.
Your Agriculture Minister Dave Marit just signed an agreement with the federal government to work on keeping these research farms open. We know these farms are important in keeping Saskatchewan agriculture competitive.
We will continue to support innovation, strengthen our agriculture sector, and grow a stronger Saskatchewan.
I am deeply saddened to share that Amanda Lathlin, the first First Nations woman elected to the Manitoba Legislature and MLA for The Pas-Kameesack, has begun her final journey.
In a 2015 by-election, Amanda made history in Manitoba: though Indigenous women have been here since time immemorial, she became the first to serve in the provincial legislature. The barrier she broke helped pave the way for other Indigenous women to serve as MLA and Minister. It also contributed to my eventual election as Premier.
Amanda was a one of a kind voice for the north, The Pas, and her community of Opaskwayak Cree Nation, where she’d previously served as councillor.
Amanda was a great retail politician who loved to visit and laugh with her constituents. The first time I visited Trappers’ Fest in The Pas she blew me away by greeting every single person we met by their first name.
Amanda was very proud of legislation she passed to provide stronger services for sexual assault survivors in the north and compassionate leave for those who miscarry. Amanda also fought for Oscar’s Place, a homeless shelter in The Pas, which was her late father’s legacy. Amanda’s dad, Oscar Lathlin, was an NDP Cabinet Minister who served in the Doer government before his passing in 2008.
Amanda was proud of the Cree language. She began incorporating it into her remarks in the legislature starting when we were in Opposition.
Amanda and I had a relationship like no other. I had her back through the many challenges she faced in the last few years. And she kept speaking to me in a way that few people do these days: we laughed, we argued, and sometimes she’d just tell me “awas!”
Through these ups and downs she became a sister. The last time I spoke to her she made fun of me for wearing a suit to visit her in the hospital.
Amanda was a devoted mother who, in the months before her passing, became a grandmother. Above all else, she loved her family deeply and devoted her life to her girls.
My prayers are with Amanda’s loved ones in The Pas, Opaskwayak Cree Nation, and across Manitoba, as well as all who were touched by her leadership and friendship.
Kinanaskomitin Amanda, for all you have done for Manitoba. Your girls are healthy and strong. Tell Oscar we miss him too.
I sincerely hope that mine is just one of many portraits of Prime Ministers from both parties that will continue to be hung in the Parliament of Canada for decades and centuries to come […] but that will require that in these perilous times both parties whatever their differences, come together to preserve the independence and unity of this blessed land.
@Agribition got underway this morning with the ceremonial Burning of the Brand. It was great to bring greetings on behalf of @SKGov – a proud supporter of Agribition since the very beginning. Looking forward to a great week! #CWA25#SaskAg
Moe says Rider Nation will "take over Winnipeg" as Saskatchewan Roughriders prepare to face the Allouettes in the Grey Cup on Sunday, predicting a tight game and giving the edge to QB Trevor Harris.

Thank you to Grain Millers, Prairie Dome Potatoes and Buckle Great Northern Beef for having myself and the Legislative Building summer students out for some tours earlier this week. We enjoyed learning about different parts of the industry and visiting with some great producers.
Doubling production isn’t a dream, it’s a plan and Alberta is already moving.
At the “Drive to Double” event hosted by Enserva, I joined Premier Scott Moe @PremierScottMoe and leaders from across the energy sector to talk about our bold vision for the future. Alberta has the resources, the talent, and the ambition to double our output, expand our infrastructure, and meet the world’s demand for reliable, responsible energy.
With strong partners and clear purpose, we’re building the next chapter of Canadian energy leadership.
Truly a great opportunity to engage with Federal Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald @CornwallHeath this week in SK. I had a chance to discuss key priorities for #saskag and to showcase how our farmers and ranchers are world leaders in sustainable food production.
Full text of announcement today. Pierre Poilievre is the right guy for the job... Let's get him a seat in Parliament so we can restore the promise of Canada. Battle River-Crowfoot will be well served by him, and I promise to stay in the fight going forward.
.@PremierScottMoe and I spoke today to talk about breaking down trade barriers, opening up new markets, and building one strong Canadian economy — not thirteen.
Saskatchewan grows what the world needs. By working together and harnessing that advantage, we will build the strongest, fastest-growing economy in the G7.
Thank you @PremierScottMoe for your strong support of our Conservative Plan for Change.
A new Conservative government will fight for every region of this country, including the hardworking people of Saskatchewan, who produce the food, energy, and minerals that fuel Canada and the world.
On April 28, vote for Change. Vote Conservative.

When you impose tariffs, the country that suffers the most is your own.
Americans are waking up to that reality this morning as they see billions of dollars wiped out of their retirement savings. Soon, that will be followed by high inflation and job losses across the US.
Canada should not make the same mistake.
To celebrate the last day of Agriculture Literacy Month, I visited a grade 6-7 classroom in Regina to talk about my life as a cow-calf producer and the Minister of Agriculture. We also had a chance to talk about trade and the impact of tariffs on our industry.
Earlier this week, I spoke on @SaskMorningLive about Agriculture Literacy Month. This month provides the opportunity for students around the province to connect with ag through presentations led by industry volunteers. Connecting youth to SK ag, and increasing their understanding
