1. During this year's provincial election in Saskatchewan, the top two most shared stories were both original investigative stories from @pressprogress.

3. Our second top story revealed that Premier Scott Moe failed to disclose an arrest for impaired driving following an alleged hit and run in 1994 — Moe had previously disclosed an impaired driving arrest and was also involved in a fatal accident. https://twitter.com/pressprogress/status/1313896303408095233

7. In Manitoba, we looked at who Pallister's government has been appointing to regional health boards.
