Health care workers have been yelling at the top of our lungs for months to Please Do Something.
Please Do More to prevent the spread of COVID-19 with imposing further restrictions.

To the @SKGov why have you continued stall and refuse to see the reality of this pandemic?

We are privileged to have opposition leader, @ryanmeili, who is an MD himself (he worked as a physician during this pandemic). Yet @PremierScottMoe has been putting his fingers in his ears & won’t hear him, playing dangerous political games, in the middle of a global pandemic.
3/
And speaking of political games. 😐

You should have heard Export Development Minister, @JHarrisonMLA yesterday...

4/
@JHarrisonMLA was yelling at the @Sask_NDP about the stringent measures Australia took in the state of Victoria, citizens locked up for 23hrs a day & how that’s really what the NDP wants.
It’s not.
Stop hurling insults, & do your job.
Stop exaggerating, & do your job.
Lead.
5/
And to SK Health Minister, @MerrimanPaul, when someone asks you a question, about stats of First Nations/Indigenous people who have had COVID-19 and are living off of reserve, do we know the numbers?

Just say no, we have not been tracking that...

6/
Instead @MerrimanPaul, you evaded the question and forced the Saskatoon MLA, who by the way, identified that she had treaty status herself, to ask it 3 times.

You are wasting our time.

Do your job.

7/
None of this is helpful.

And to quote Murray Mandryk again, “Nor is it responsible at a time when Saskatchewan is seeing growing protests encouraging people to defy lockdowns and the province’s mandatory mask order.”

We need the @SKGov to take more action. Be responsible.

8/
To the @SKGov “It’s one thing to plow ahead and ignore the advice of province’s doctors who a month ago begged for more restrictions because you prefer to appease the business community...”

9/
To the @SKGov “...But it’s another thing to then say you are following the lead of the chief medical health officer, but downplay or discount what he saying when it’s unpopular and say it was his call when the unpopular choice eventually has to be made.”

10/
Stop stalling & do your damn jobs. Our lives literally depend on it.

We need to #StayHome

Yes, I used the word damn, I’ve had enough. Since Oct 4, I’ve known where we are headed. That was one head spinning day 🤢.
