In this episode, Dale and Sally are joined by Samantha Yaholnitsky! We go through the latest on the teacher's contract issue, and specifically what tactics the STF have deployed to gain the upper hand on the government, and what the province can do to equalize the situation. Then, the trio goes through the headwinds facing the government right now and the subsequent feeling of momentum for the NDP, with Sam giving her advice on what the government can do to find their way out of the challenges right now. We also go through a couple of federal issues, including the effort to rebrand the carbon tax rebate, as well as Minister Steven Guilbeault's plans to stop funding road projects across Canada. Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to The SKoop! On this episode of the podcast we take everyone through the political implications of MLA Greg Lawrence facing assault charges in Moose Jaw and resigning from the Saskatchewan Party caucus, what will be happening behind the scenes to tighten up MLAs and caucus after this news, and how the NDP responded to the issue. Then, we deep dive further on the Teachers contract situation, including the advertising battle between the government and teachers federation, whether the NDP and STF want it to drag on to the election, and the ongoing communications over the whole thing. We also discuss Ryan Domotor's charges being stayed, give a nomination meeting update, and more. Thanks for listening!

It's our quarterly polling episode!

In this episode of The SKoop, Kevin Doherty, Sally Housser and Dale Richardson discuss all the biggest recent events in Saskatchewan politics, including the biggest story of the week, the subsequent one-day strikes by the province's teachers, the ongoing chess match between the Sask. Teachers Federation and the provincial government, the tipping point that may be upcoming on this issue, and the added wrinkle that other recently-signed collective agreements add to it all. We also discuss the recent resignation of Rachel Notley as the leader of Alberta's NDP, speculating on her potential political future and the direction of the leadership race for the Alberta New Democrats. Thanks for listening! (Note: Sally's computer died at the end of the show so we did not fully discuss our last topic, the dismissal of REAL CEO Tim Reid in Regina).

Welcome back to The SKoop and thanks for joining us again in 2024! Kevin is still enjoying his vacation, so Samantha Yaholnitsky joins Dale and Sally for this one. In this episode of the SKoop, the trio discuss Speaker Randy Weekes's nomination loss before Christmas as well as other upcoming nominations, and the possibility of an early election this spring! Then we dive into the state of education and next week's one-day teacher strike: who is winning the communications battle on this issue? We also go through recent polling data from Angus Reid that shows people across Canada aren't really happy about anything, including in Saskatchewan where there are tough marks for the government on cost of living, health care and education. Thanks for listening!
