A Tough Pill To Swallow
Kevin is taking some well-deserved holidays, so Sally and Dale are joined this week by Jim Billington! Jim is the former Deputy Chief of Staff and Press Secretary to Premier Scott Moe, and is now an Associate Principal at Navigator Ltd. The trio discuss the politics of surgical wait times and private health-care delivery; the province's decision to increase SaskPower rates by 8% by April 2023; a short (and early) review of the proposed new electoral boundaries; and they take a couple of mailbag questions, including one on the branding of political leaders (hint: there's a particular shirt of Scott Moe's that Jim doesn't really care for).
Featuring:
- Sally Housser, NDP insider and former Saskatchewan NDP chief of staff, and current Senior Manager, Public Affairs at Canadian Strategy Group;
- Jim Billington, Associate Principal at Navigator Ltd and former Deputy Chief of Staff and press secretary to Premier Scott Moe; and
- Dale Richardson, podcaster and former director of communications for the Saskatchewan Party.
