(Prince Albert, Sask. Treaty 6 Territory) — The leadership of the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (PBCN) filed a judicial review today in the Saskatchewan Court of King’s Bench, challenging the provincial government’s environmental assessment decision for a project located within the Nation’s traditional territory.

PBCN Chief and Council met last week and unanimously agreed to proceed with the court action after concluding that the Government of Saskatchewan failed to meaningfully consult or accommodate the Nation, as required under the Constitution Act, 1982.

August 13, 2025 - Both the NDP and the SaskParty have made public statements indicating that they will cooperate to bring nuclear reactors to Saskatchewan. This is despite the clear evidence that readily available solar, wind and other clean energy solutions are available at lower cost and without risk to our severely endangered environment. We have the skills, technology and ability to provide immediate clean energy to this province without bankrupting our children and grandchildren financially and ecologically. The Saskatchewan Green Party opposes this nuclear plan strongly.

Let’s start with a definition. “1. a person having an egocentric and antisocial personality marked by a lack of remorse for one’s action, an absence of empathy for others, and often criminal tendencies. 2. a person with antisocial personality disorder”. Quite broad, probably, to various degrees including some of the people you know.  Dare I say maybe even yourself to a degree if you can admit it.

Modernity vs. Trump and the Extremists: “If We Want Peace, We Must All Work For Justice”

Reflections From Alan Bishoff

Modernity refers to a set of beliefs, values and common scientific knowledge that characterize the modern era. These include a trust in the use of scientific methods and research to understand our natural world. Tradition and belief systems are relegated to last-place guides for any understanding or resulting behaviour.  A part of this is an agreement that there is only one reality – with different aspects and perspectives on reality, but not two or more distinct realities. Not “alternate facts”. Modernity favours the more liberal and egalitarian interpretations of differences and social relations.  For those who have studied and accepted the norms of modernity, as well as for the very young and those who just absorbed the foundations of modernity from the world around us, the “modern” ways of looking at the world are natural, and indisputably the correct way of interacting with the world.

Hi, SGP members!

I wanted to give everyone an update on where we are, as of the end of July, in the process of nominating active candidates. We still need to find a goodly number of SGP voices for the environment and social justice leading up to the October 2024 provincial election. I want to emphasize that the most crucial of all of the ridings are the far northwest (Athabasca) and far northeast (Cumberland). Because of how the numbers of active voters add up in those communities, these are two ridings where active candidates can see tremendous results and help the whole party.

If you know someone in ANY of these roughly 30 areas who you think would be a good fit, please give them my text and phone number, 1-306-561-8880, or my email [email protected] 

Thank you! Naomi Hunter

Do you know someone who would make a great Saskatchewan Green Party candidate?

Candidates must be committed to attending election forums and doing local media interviews during the election. We have not announced candidates in the following ridings yet:

It’s with incredible sorrow that I’m writing to let you know about the passing of another legendary Saskatchewan Green. Dave Abbey passed away suddenly of aspiration pneumonia yesterday (May 24. 2024). He had his family by his side and listened to his favourite song, "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream". We will carry on to make his dream come true. His wife Carol called to let us know. There will be no service and he has chosen cremation.

Our friend Dave Greenfield, former Saskatchewan Green Party and Green Party of Canada candidate, member of the executive of the SGP, and Saskatchewan representative on the Federal Council of the Green Party of Canada, died on Thursday, April 18, 2024, after a lengthy hospitalization. He will live on in our hearts as a man dedicated to the environment, social justice and peace. He pursued these passions through activism in political, civic, and religious groups, including the Council of Canadians, Canadian Friends Service Committee, Climate Justice Saskatoon and the Saskatoon Peace Coalition. He will be remembered as a defender of the rights and dignity of our disabled and disadvantaged brothers and sisters.

Scott Moe’s Diefenbaker Dam Expansion Project is a waste of our money and threatens our precious fresh water supply. The water for this southern Saskatchewan Irrigation Project is to come from an area that is already suffering a several-year drought. Why are working people facing a tax increase of billions of dollars that will only transfer huge wealth to a few very large-scale farmers?
