      One of the few based things Sask has done. Add to the list: producing Diefenbaker, who appointed the first Indigenous Senator and gave all Indigenous people in Canada the right to vote, and Tommy Douglas, who instituted the first ever single payer universal healthcare program in ALL OF NORTH AMERICA in Sask. That then became the basis of the universal health care program we see in Canada today.

      Too bad their current government is super regressive and like taking AmeriPol talking points instead of actual effective governance.

        Yeah unfortunately none of that stuff was sustainable and that’s why we’re kinda fucked economically. They won’t grow some balls and end it, but they won’t fund it properly either, cause they can’t without making everyone even poorer.
