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.
It's a very effective distraction from the reality that Moe's own provincial government is doing everything within its power to defeat itself.
Saskatchewan's education minister seems more interested in sending messages to his party's angry base than in negotiating with teachers.
We surely deserve a better explanation as to as why government business skyrocketed at Grewal's Sunrise Motel after he became an MLA.
Unfortunately for the Sask. Party, its biggest loose thread — the teachers' strike — has unravelled any notion of an early election.
Why would teachers or anyone else have any reason to doubt Cockrill's sincerity?
It's not readily apparent that the government has anyone to pick up their torches.
Whether or not it exists as true party, Sask. United has been all the excuse Moe has needed to bend to a far-right agenda.
We have already reached a stalemate in the teachers' strike. We may be here for a while because neither side can risk breaking this standoff.
After all, this is a government that simply ignored previous Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission recommendations it didn't like.
This is the kind of issue that doesn't go away. And unlike most issues these days, it cuts across party lines.
If we want to keep the next person from going down Myles Sanderson's path, should't we listen to experts who understand best practices?
If the country is broken, wouldn't Saskatchewan be broken, too? Wouldn't that be Moe's fault? Sadly for the NDP, most don't agree.
Can you pick and choose who gets free speech based on whether you agree with what they say? Do you get to only support favourable court rulings?
Far more telling nine months out from the vote is who each party already has nominated and out door-knocking.
The new drug policy is more focused on appeasing right-wing supporters than those who need help. Stop me if you've heard this one before.
Last week was a win for the Sask. Party government because the conversation switched from the classroom issues to teachers' wage demands.
