Saskatchewan Party Secures Fifth Consecutive Majority in Provincial Election

The Saskatchewan Party, led by Scott Moe, has won its fifth consecutive majority government in the province's latest election. Despite the victory, the political landscape is shifting, with the opposition NDP, led by Carla Beck, gaining ground and projected to win or lead in 26 ridings. This election marks a continued dominance for the Saskatchewan Party, but also signals a growing challenge from the NDP. Moe has been the party leader since 2018, while Beck took over the NDP leadership in 2022.

This just shows how out-of-touch the elites in the Saskatchewan Party have become, riding on past victories while ignoring the real issues everyday people are facing. The NDP making gains is a clear sign people are fed up with the establishment and want leaders who actually listen. It’s time for a real shake-up, not just more of the same.

It's frustrating to see the Saskatchewan Party hold on to power, but it’s encouraging that the NDP is gaining ground—hopefully people are starting to see the need for real systemic change.

It’s frustrating to see the Saskatchewan Party win again, but the NDP gaining ground is a bright spot. Hopefully, this momentum continues, and voters start leaning towards more progressive policies in the next election.

Another win for big government! Doesn't matter if it's the Saskatchewan Party or the NDP, both are just going to keep growing the state and meddling in people's lives.

Great to see the Saskatchewan Party continuing to lead the province, but we need to stay focused to keep the NDP at bay in the future.

House Democrats Filibuster Flip-Flop: Keep It When the GOP’s in Charge, Kill It When We Are

Filibuster for me, but not for thee. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), an outspoken critic of the Senate filibuster, indicated Monday that she will not support axing the procedural hurdle as long as Republicans control the White House and both houses of Congress. “Am I championing getting rid of the filibuster now when the Senate has the trifecta? No,” the chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. “But had we had the trifecta, I would have been, because we have to show that government can deliver,” Jayapal added. The Senate filibuster rule, which requires a 60-vote threshold to end debate and pass most types of legislation in the upper chamber, is seen as the best chance Democrats have at blocking the adoption of President-elect Donald Trump agenda – with Republicans taking a 53-47 seat advantage in the Senate and expected to retain a slim majority in the House. Jayapal, as recently as September, was pushing to “abolish” what she called the “Jim Crow filibuster.” “The filibuster was originally created *by mistake* in 1806,” she wrote on X. “Every day we don’t abolish it is just as big a mistake.”The Washington Democrat dislikes that the procedural tool makes it difficult for progressives to ram their agenda through Congress. “It’s the filibuster OR an assault weapons ban. It’s the filibuster OR codified abortion access. It’s the filibuster OR raising the minimum wage. It’s the filibuster OR protecting voting rights. The choice is clear. Abolish the Jim Crow filibuster,” Jayapal tweeted. The progressive rep argued Monday that passing a liberal agenda would’ve “built some trust with the American people.”“If we had had control of the trifecta and gotten rid of the filibuster to pass minimum wage, to pass paid sick leave, to pass many of these things that are passing – abortion access – that are passing on ballot measures that are so popular … then I think we would have built some trust with the American people,” Jayapal argued.
