A Hard Goodbye - Dave Abbey
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).
Dear Green Friends,
If ever there was a time for Saskatchewan to hear the message “Doing Politics Differently“, it’s now. Voters need the refreshing, honest approach of Saskatchewan Green policies and candidates to restore their faith in democracy. It has never been more evident that the SaskParty has reached a level of corruption that they aren’t even bothering to hide anymore. This week in the Saskatchewan legislature, the SaskParty Speaker of the House Randy Weekes revealed that he has been the victim of intimidation and threats from his own party since becoming Speaker.

Mature Politics with Proportional Representation
Nancy Carswell
Decades ago, one of my children visited Saskatchewan's Legislative Assembly. Expecting to learn about governance and democracy, they were instead appalled by chaos and incivility.
