@bruce_mcgonigal @theJagmeetSingh Is the flow in the room with us right now?

@THE_BANKRUN For such a lengthy post I thought you would have at least researched one of your main premises. Canada Post does not receive any public funding, never mind the “billions” in savings you’re talking about.

@LinaldoSans @OurFatherChaos Canada Post does not receive any government funding.

@ProfSmithSask Despite all the axioms about history repeating itself, I still find it mind boggling.

@tammyrobert Like the more I think about it the worse it gets.

[Irena Smith @Irena_MSmith]

@tammyrobert Oh my god I just put it together. I feel sick.

The Lebanon explosions raise a question: Deep into the smartphone era, who is still using pagers? https://t.co/ic3x8sK9dw

Was he briefed? That the student had to be airlifted to Edmonton due to the extent of her injuries? This reads like an Ed Minister who has no idea what happened.

Which is really the inexcusable part, given the scale of the tragedy. #skpoli

@AleanaYoung I do not hate the carbon tax. I have been a Sask NDP donor/member/volunteer but yall are making tough these days.

@akondrake @ziibiing This seems so helpful. Can you say more about what planning looks like?

[Irena Smith @Irena_MSmith]

@ProfSmithSask @TorontoStar He just played politics and potentially fed us to the Conservatives. Real progressive vision.

@acnewsitics As a lefty - I don’t know how we became so callous about class, but it will be our downfall.

[Irena Smith @Irena_MSmith]

@SaskParty …because of you. The implication is it’s because of you. Really don’t think this is the attack ad you think it is there big guys.

[Irena Smith @Irena_MSmith]

@OhNoSheTwitnt The way they dropped all this money on production and then pull their big fancy boy flag out of the box it was shipped in 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Smorgasboredom Three times. Four seasons.

[Irena Smith @Irena_MSmith]

@ProfSmithSask @steve_boots No I think that was clear! Technically feasible but politically unlikely.

[Irena Smith @Irena_MSmith]

@ProfSmithSask @steve_boots Thanks!

[Irena Smith @Irena_MSmith]

@steve_boots Hey Steve - really respect what you’re doing here to inform teachers in a balanced way. In the interest of that, I’m not sure that the government can in fact legislate a contract, but I can’t find anything to confirm. @ProfSmithSask could you provide clarity?

[@Jennifer Gallays🇨🇦 @dragonfly_jenny]

I’m voting no because I cannot endorse a contract that doesn’t make things better for students and teachers. That said, I’m exhausted. My colleagues are exhausted. And we’re up against a government with no fear of losing power over this (or any other) issue.
