A Huge Self-Inflicted Problem
Fall session has officially begun! And it's off to a weird start. The SKoop team discusses Colin Thatcher, the invited (but surprise) guest at Throne Speech, and how his presence threw a major wrench into the Saskatchewan Party government's big day. They discuss the fallout and crisis management of that issue, and whether it will extend beyond just this week. Then, they dig in to more of the throne speech, including the government selling off remaining liquor store and what the SGEU will think about all of that. Then the team gives a brief analysis on the first Question Period of the session and first head-to-head matchup between Scott Moe and Carla Beck. Enjoy!
