And the Award Goes To...

With the legislative session in the rearview mirror, the team hands out the first annual SKoop "Postseason Awards" to both the Saskatchewan Party and NDP, including Most Valuable Player, Most Improved Player, Unsung Hero, and some other fun awards, including the award for "I'm now regretting taking this job in the first place". They also discuss two important issues that came up during the last weeks of session: the province's work on suicide prevention and how trust appears to have completely broken down between the two political parties hampering progress on the issue,  and recommendations from high-profile doctors (not named Ryan Meili) to improve Saskatchewan's healthcare system. 

Featuring: 

• Kevin Doherty, former Saskatchewan Party MLA and cabinet minister, and current Senior Strategy Advisor at Prairie Sky Strategy; 
• Sally Housser, NDP insider and former Saskatchewan NDP chief of staff, and current Senior Manager, Public Affairs at Canadian Strategy Group; and 
• Dale Richardson, podcaster and former director of communications for the Saskatchewan Party.
