End of story? Well, not quite. Look skyward. The fallout is just beginning.
If the fall campaign is anything like the last few days of the sitting, it's going to be a ring-a-ding-dong dandy.
Such a debate requires at least having the conversation that the global warming realities that are confronting us every day are real.
The Sask. Party will argue it's selling the same populism ... although who is an elitist and who is a populist has become a little blurry.
"It isn't money that ultimately translates into votes," said Premier Scott Moe.
SUP raked in more than $500,000 — $200,000 of which came from a company associated with Lumsden-Morse byelection candidate Jon Hromek.
Call it Beck-onomics — the latest Opposition leader to offer a catchy pre-election promise to do better without really explaining how.
Just when you thought this tire file couldn't get any more Looney Tunes, along came Richard "Porky" Porter.
How committed this government is to getting the electrical grid off coal seems very much dependent on whom this government is addressing.
It's here where the rubber hits the road: The Sask. Party government's penchant to appear arm's length while still controlling everything.
Just imagine if the ingenuity spent demonizing its opponents was put toward classroom overcrowding or hiring more specialists and nurses.
Hasn't this 17-year-old Sask. Party government had enough time or invested enough money to remedy those hospital closures of 30 years ago?
Here in Saskatchewan, what it now takes to lose your government position is almost criminal ... quite literally.
What matters most to people are the issues of the moment, and Beck and the NDP have yet to provide better alternatives.
Maybe teachers feel this is about as good as it gets and see further action as fruitless. Or maybe they will say: "We've come this far ..."
Drip. Drip. Drip. As the information has slowly leaked out, it looks worse and worse.
Premier Scott Moe is responsible for allowing this hubris to fester into the clown show we saw Monday. He is government leader. He wears it.
The audacity to admonish a government member was too much for Harrison and the rest of the Sask. Party caucus. Herein lies their problem.
Good faith in bargaining means just that. This dispute has dragged on specifically because of things like Cockrill's letter to the trustees.
Expect to see the bulk of the 2024 Saskatchewan election fought in your social media feed. It won't be pretty, not that campaigns ever were.
The unfortunate reality for Saskatchewan teachers is that they still require massive public support capable of swaying government.
Moe's most overlooked political skill: His ability to read what's important to his voters and predict just how long it will remain important.
"It needs to be removed. Changing who charges it doesn't remove things." — Premier Scott Moe on the carbon tax.
Except for a handful of politicians on the east coast, Saskatchewan politicians are the most overpaid in the country.
Cancer patient Shannon Orell-Bast told Saskatchewan politicians last week that the province's health-care workers are 'not well.'
'This is the only province in the country that has no target — no target — for reducing emissions.' — federal Minister Jonathan Wilkinson
Saskatchewan's student-per-teacher ratio is much higher — odd, in a province with a lot of small town schools.
It seems evident that the STF failed to make its point that such enrichments only exist because teachers willingly volunteer their time.
"Steady as she goes isn't such a bad thing." — Premier Scott Moe on his 2024-25 Saskatchewan budget.
For a budget all about caring, you'd think there would be more for nursing homes, emergency rooms, drug addictions and mental health.
Avoiding distractions on budget day this year will be more important ever. Alas, this year, there appears to be more distractions than ever.
All polls clearly show most people don't want an NDP government. Less clear is what kind of the Sask. Party government we may be getting.
Given all that's gone of late, can the Saskatchewan Party expect much budget buzz after giving so many so much reasons to be skeptical?
The duty of politicians to speak up is only exceeded by the rights of voters to speak up against them.
The boos probably came as a surprise to Moe and his handlers, who obviously wouldn't be pleased with him being booed on national television.
If you belong to the right group and make the right noise about Sask. Party MLAs losing power, a mere whisper will get their attention.
For Saskatchewan's government to say it wants a deal with the province's teachers at the bargaining table is pure hypocrisy.
Duncan's explanation of why he needed a costly Paris car service to visit at Napoleon's tomb came up ... well ... a little short.
It seems unlikely our politicians will rediscover the important difference between the words "opponent" and "enemy" in a democratic setting.
As Duncan suggests, it comes down a matter of fairness. Politics aside, the Trudeau government has simply not treated Saskatchewan fairly.
'Right the imbalance.' We all know what that means. It's always meant the same thing. We just didn't know this notion was all-pervasive.
Why is it those that who argue government should be run like a business think that means hopping on a jet whenever the mood strikes them?
It's an attempt to bury this mess on budget day because going from a billion-dollar surplus to a billion-dollar deficit is unexplainable.
In what world is it OK for a known, active partisan to be part of the independent, quasi-judicial Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission?
Megaw's ruling deftly explains why it's so wrong to play politics with the courts. It's too bad government has had no interest in listening.
It was a good approach by these third parties, which haven't always made a valuable contribution to Saskatchewan's public discourse.
