My 1ST "hot take":
Flying military ICU nurses into Saskatchewan is SO MUCH SAFER then flying critically ill #SK citizens thousands of kilometres to Ontario.
That's it. That's the tweet.

Our ancestors brought their ancestors disease, decimated the buffalo, took their land and their children.
Today, in the midst of a pandemic, the Saskatoon Tribal Council establishes a vaccination centre OPEN TO ALL.
Think about that.

This gov't has cut education mid pandemic.
@Carla4Lakeview on her feet pointing to 4 million cuts to education in this budget.
@SaskParty gov't touting $19 million increase knowing full well the fairly bargained salary commitment to teachers amounts to $23 million.

(My first ever tweet, be gentle.)
COVID-19 in Regina area probably 80-90% caused by VoCs. Surprised this is not getting more attention - is there any jurisdiction in Canada with this high a proportion of cases caused by VoCs?

Teachers are front-line workers and should be vaccinated early, Sask. Teachers Federation says ift.tt/2LAPksZ
And today comes the announcement that the schools are going to online learning.

What is going on with the spam emails, @SaskTelSupport ?? At least 15-30 a day!!! And I know I’m not the only one! #makeitquit #spamemail #neverends
i have a question. Who are the entities who are more important than our teachers and children, who will receive the other 160 million dollars of covid funding.
This was the current situation in Canada as of yesterday. It’s ridiculous. I wonder how it will look on Monday after a weekend of “announcements”.
I must admit to not having a lot of faith.
I don’t know what to do with this. I got a provincial public safety alert today. Our Covid numbers today are the highest yet. How does this fit with the current back to school plan.

Key point is #TestandTrace. That’s what we need to get school reopening right.
But even people with symptoms are still waiting a week or more for a test in SK!
The health minister is nowhere to be seen as he’s failing one of the most important parts of the COVID-19 response.
@PremierScottMoe @ryanmeili How are we absorbing the latest science in our planning to reopen schools? Kids do get sick and spread #COVID19SK. It suggests we can only open schools if transmission is low and we're proactively testing teachers and students. teapaw.org/meganranney/status/128…

A sweet moment during a student #BookClub mtg. My son overheard mention of #HarryPotter, bolted upstairs & grabbed his copy. He then took over the mtg & this very kind group of 7/8s discussed their fave HP books/characters with him for 15 min! He was thrilled! #yqr #LearnFromHome

Thx for reading. Wanted to both process+share. Let's help each other stay safe & healthy, & push our governmental bodies to continue doing the same.
People over profit. School isn't meant to be a physically distanced daycare so banks can have another record quarter.

This is exactly what worried me about the recent language from the premier about visiting family and friends.
What we’re doing is working. That doesn’t mean it has worked.
It’s going well. It’s not over.
Let’s keep up the physical distancing and keep Saskatchewan flat.
Saturday seemed like the unofficial “Reopen Sask.” Day. Lots of accounts like this being shared. #skpoli #covid19sk
