He/Him/They/Them. SK & Canadian Politics.

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

It is depressing how much of Canadian politics is about oil and gas

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

Wonder why she's leaving earlier than intended?

Anyways easy CPC hold, but if the LPC get above like 20% though that'll be nerve-wracking for the CPC for sure

[Canadian Elections Tracker @cdnelxnstracker]

NEW: Cathy Wagantall, Conservative MP for Yorkton—Melville, SK has announced that she will be resigning from her seat on August 31.

Debut team keeping one of the favourites to win it all to 0-0 is absolutely remarkable

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

I've not watched much (any tbf) pro-soccer/football, but Cabo's goalie is absolutely stellar rn

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

Idk why Poilievre thinks repeating the talking points of the separatists is somehow arguing against them but sure I guess

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Poilievre: After all of that, and after all we've been through the last decade, Albertans are not even looking for an apology or compensation. They're looking for Ottawa to get out of their way and off their backs for the province to finally have respect within Confederation.

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

I'm sorry what?????????

[CTV Saskatoon @ctvsaskatoon]

Sask. legislature finally adds washrooms for women MLAs https://t.co/75Msyml8jw

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

I thought he had already resigned as an MP tbh

[National Newswatch @natnewswatch]

Guilbeault could quit caucus as soon as this week, government sources tell CTV News, @stephanie_ha & @VassyKapelos report https://t.co/yH1gCcez9K

A little surprised the SKNDP fundraising held up decently well vs. 2024

We'll see if there's any donor fallout from Betty leaving the party in 2026 I suppose

[Polling Canada @CanadianPolling]

Saskatchewan - 2025 Full Year Donations:

SKP: $2,206,174
NDP: $1,523,158
PC: $75,426
UNT: $21,419
BUF: $19,510
GRN: $5,185

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

He just can't quit it huh?

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Conservatives publish the right carbon tax rate by year:

2026: $0
2027: $0
2028: $0
2029: $0
2030: $0
2031: $0
2032: $0
2033: $0
2034: $0
2035: $0

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

What are we doing here? Who is this for?

The SKNDP seems to have no clue what to do to persuade people and it is infuriating

[Alexander Quon @AlexanderQuon]

Saskatchewan NDP MLAs put the provincial government’s 2026-2027 budget through a wood chipper this morning

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

Ahhh okay well that makes more sense

Though I am confused about the SKNDP's approach of attacking the bill and voting against it and not releasing this report?

Like either just support the bill or actually go against it

[Alexander Quon @AlexanderQuon]

Saskatchewan NDP Schism continues. Nippi-Albright details a dispute over the Opposition’s approach to the government’s involuntary treatment legislation.

More to come at 11 am news conference

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

I remain confused as to Betty's reasons tbh

But I think this reflects more on Betty than it does on Beck imo

[Alexander Quon @AlexanderQuon]

Breaking: Betty Nippi-Albright says she will set an Independent MLA and is leaving the Saskatchewan NDP caucus.
Says that “over time, I have not felt the support or respect required to carry out this work in a good way.”

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

The idea that it is somehow impossible for Quebec to discriminate against anglophones is baffling to me tbh

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

Insightrix did also have the SKNDP ahed for much of their 2024 polling and it seems like they might just have a sample biased towards Saskatoon and Regina?

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

Quite the contrast from Reid, but given Reid is like the only firm with meaningful experience polling SK I'm inclined to believe those numbers more

But without the actual survey data it's hard to say much

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

Pretty sure that "wealthy, but bad with money" is a demo that predominantly consists of O&G workers so this checks out

From: https://t.co/E9DmorNh0B

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

Pierre Trudeau is probably the most impactful, though idk about "best"

I doubt either Harper or Carney would be amongst the best realistically, but that could obviously change for Carney

[Polling Canada @CanadianPolling]

"Who do you consider to be Canada's best Prime Minister?"

Harper: 17%
P. Trudeau: 16%
Carney: 15%
Chrétien: 10%
Mulroney: 8%
J. Trudeau: 6%
Campbell: 3%
Turner: 2%
Clark: 1%
Martin: 1%

Unsure: 22%

Destroying the ability of the american armed forces to actually engage in war just to pwn the libs!

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force.

We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

The SK party appointing 4/7 of the RMs members mere days before this vote is sketchy as hell and I am surprised more hay isn't being made out of that by the SKNDP

https://t.co/PtydRF3Unx

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

Idk why Poilievre keeps saying stuff that makes him come off as the whiniest loser on earth

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

"There's one thing that's worse than being uneducated and it's being badly educated. And Mr. Carney is very badly educated on economics." -- Pierre Poilievre says, as water dribbles down his chin

[Frelinerit @drdcdd]

@nikicaga MMIWG is from the inquiry/commission, I don't think its that uncommon of an acronym for Canadians to encounter?
