Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan leader Rose Buscholl (left), Saskatchewan Green Party leader Naomi Hunter, and Saskatchewan Progress Party Chief Official Agent Michael Medby held a press conference today calling on the Provincial Auditor to investigate Communities of Tomorrow, which came into being in 2003.

Saskatchewan Green Party Leader Naomi Hunter sent this letter-to-the-editor to newspapers across Saskatchewan:

Dear Editor,

Are you aware that provincial election candidate nomination fees have increased fivefold from $100 to $500? Democracy shouldn't be dependent on wealth yet this increase eliminates candidates. This is a blow to democracy. Election fees should have been decreased to ensure more people get involved in the electoral process. Increasing to $500 is prohibitive. For some, it is the equivalent of a month's rent.

It is unnecessary to educate us on the dangers of asbestos, as we have been aware of its harmful effects for many years. “Asbestos causes cancer; it is a lethal carcinogen.” Consuming water from a leaking asbestos cement water pipe is dangerous. Regardless of how asbestos is ingested, exposure is hazardous. Further studies on the negative effects of asbestos on human health and the environment are not required. What is required is an accurate assessment of the state that asbestos pipes are in currently and an acknowledgment of the health hazards they pose to the people of Saskatchewan.

RBC Divest Rally and Round Dance and Panel Discussion

Calling all hand drummers, dancers, & allies! You're invited to a rally and round dance for climate justice and Indigenous sovereignty on Wed April 5th at 11 am (CST). Meet us at the Vimy Memorial Bandstand. If you can't make it in person, register to watch the RBC Divest livestream. 

Corporations are the backbone of our economy, but corporations are not what  makes a strong society. When corporations fund Political Parties, are they also by extension influencing the decisions governments make?  And if so, are those decisions in the best interest of the society, or of the corporations that fund their campaigns?

Governments are supposed to, by definition, exercise political authority over the actions, and affairs of a political unit of people, and perform certain functions for this unit or body. If our government is concerned only about corporate donors, and neglects other groups in society, I believe they have lost touch with what it means to govern "for the people”.

On March 1st the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission will hold a hearing in Ottawa to review a request from Orano Canada (aka AREVA/COGEMA) to hand over responsibility for management of the contaminated Cluff Lake Uranium mine and mill site to the province.

In the 1960s, at the Gunnar and Laredo uranium mine sites near Uranium City, “unconfined tailings” were left behind on the surface and open to wind and water. The clean-up costs have ballooned to $220 million and rising -  paid for by Saskatchewan taxpayers. That work is not complete and, after 60 years of neglect, several river systems downstream are polluted to a serious level, well above the Saskatchewan drinking water standard.

Unlivable Housing

By Whitney Greenleaf

(In January, 2023 issue of the online newsletter-The Weaver)

Homelessness is not just one thing. It doesn’t affect just one gender, it doesn’t affect one age group, it doesn’t affect one race. At the bottom line it affects us all. We see it every day, even if you don't pay attention it's still there.

The Saskatchewan Green Party stands in solidarity with this rally.

Thursday January 5, 2023 at the Saskatoon Housing Authority (SHA) office at 525 24th St E from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.

The lack of accountability and mismanagement must not continue!

• uncaring and negligent managers
• condescending and dismissive
• dozens of vacant properties
• unfair barriers to entry

Join to support immigrants, refugees, people with disabilities, Indigenous, and other persons harmed by SHA. 

We understand if you needed the $500 SK Affordability Tax Credit. But, if you didn’t, did you wonder if your taxpayer dollars could have been better spent? Spent on things like funding our healthcare system, especially long-term care and mental health, education, homelessness, anti-poverty initiatives, climate change preparedness, a just transition, and others? The Saskatchewan Green Party (SGP) would have funded these issues based on our six Green values of ecological wisdom, social justice, participatory democracy, nonviolence, sustainability, and respect for diversity.

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – September 20, 2022 – An enterprising teacher reached beyond their sixth-grade classroom walls to ask Saskatoon-Meewasin candidates wide ranging questions. Saskatchewan Green Party candidate Jacklin Andrews embraced the opportunity to reply.

Saskatchewan Green Party (SGP) candidate Jacklin Andrews welcomed the opportunity to respond to sixth graders' questions about the Saskatoon-Meewasin by-election. Andrews has a clear vision for education in Saskatchewan that begins by enshrining the purpose for the education system.
