This month's Weaver is packed with wonderful information and messages from your Leader and SGP Executive. Stay up to date. Be informed.
We could do so much better with healthcare
Healthcare shouldn’t be a political issue. Caring for the health of the people of our province benefits all of us and our economy. When a citizen's minor complaints aren’t addressed, they worsen until surgery and other high-cost care are needed. Of course, we also lose work hours, and this hurts the local economy; our loved ones lose work hours and productivity while visiting and caring for us.
A province that doesn’t come up with a practical plan to ensure that everyone has a family doctor has failed in one of the two main areas – Health and Education – that are totally under provincial control. Saskatchewan, embarrassingly, shows recent estimates indicating that about one in six, or 16% to 17%, of Saskatchewan residents do not have a family physician. This number is based on data from Statistics Canada and the Canadian Institute for Health Information. The national average for Canadians lacking a regular healthcare provider is 14.5%.
Contribute to a Greener, brighter future!
Donating as little as $25 to the Saskatchewan Green Party not only helps us fight for Justice, Respect for Diversity, Ecological Wisdom, Sustainability, Participatory Democracy and Non-Violence, but also encourages our volunteers by letting them know that we have supportive members at our backs.
This week marks Giving Tuesday. This is the unofficial kickoff for groups, organizations and non-profits to begin their year-end fundraising efforts. The timing of the fundraising campaigns is a reminder to make your contributions before the end of the year to benefit from tax credits on this year's income. Donations of $25 or more are eligible for a tax credit of up to 75% of your donation (A Saskatchewan political contribution tax credit can reduce a tax liability to zero, but will not produce a refund.)
Please consider donating to the Saskatchewan Green Party this year.

2025 Point-in-Time Count Reveals Rising Homelessness Trend
Saskatoon’s Point in Time Count came out with 1931 neighbours, friends and family currently unhoused. We should be aware that it is done in October, when planning for the winter has already occurred. These numbers are literally just a point in time, and there are many people who are missed. This information is still valuable, and as community members, we need to use it to help spread awareness of the situation and push for both emergency-level responses as well as long-term solutions.
The Evan Bray Show: SES board member Peter Prebble talks about the lawsuit
A group of concerned citizens from Saskatchewan are standing up to the provincial government in court over its decision to continue to operate coal-fired power plants well beyond the federal phase-out deadline. Peter Prebble, Saskatchewan Environmental Society board member, joins Evan to discuss why the group took the case to court and what they want for Saskatchewan's energy future.

Saskatchewan plans to use dirty coal as 'bridge' to nuclear
Saskatchewan intends to continue burning coal, says Premier Scott Moe. The plan is to keep extending coal-fired power until the province builds nuclear plants. And Saskatchewan wants the feds to cover three-quarters of the cost, reports Natasha Bulowski.
Saskatchewan’s plan flies in the face of federal regulations that require coal-fired power plants to be shut down by 2030. “If Saskatchewan were really serious about nuclear, they should have started planning for these reactors decades ago,” said M.V. Ramana, a nuclear expert based at the University of British Columbia. “Saskatchewan is so late to the game that it can only be seen as a delaying tactic.”
Supply boom in cheaper renewables will seal the end of the fossil fuel era, says IEA
Renewables will grow faster than any major energy source in the next decade, according to the world’s energy watchdog, making the transition away from fossil fuels “inevitable”, despite a green backlash in the US and parts of Europe.
Greenpeace Petition calls for strengthening the Nature Accountability Act.
During the recent election, the new Liberal leadership promised to protect nature, biodiversity, and water. [5] Now, they must deliver—starting by reintroducing and strengthening the Nature Accountability Act.
We need a real, enforceable nature law—one that respects Indigenous sovereignty, sets clear protection targets, ensures public accountability, and holds polluters responsible.
Tell Prime Minister Mark Carney and the new Liberal government: Reintroduce and strengthen the Nature Accountability Act without delay.
From "Can AI?" to "Should AI?"
FairVote Sask., November 28, 2025 - By Nancy Carswell, SGP Member - This letter challenges us to put people before algorithms, defend social justice, and reclaim participatory democracy. It urges thoughtful AI policies and electoral reform so Canadians’ wellbeing and voices—not technology—shape our shared future.
Why be laggards when we could be leaders?
Jeremy Harrison has announced that the Sask Party plan for our energy future is to keep burning coal until we can get nuclear power plants built. (Daily Herald, October 27)
Conservative and Liberal federal governments have set a deadline of 2030 to close coal plants, and Saskatchewan will be the only province not to comply. (Alberta shut theirs down in 2024.)
