Sask. Party eliminate support for seniors living with disabilities

With their latest cold and heartless cut, the Sask. Party are eliminating a provincial support for seniors living with disabilities. Despite holding a press conference earlier this week on changes to income assistance, the Sask. Party made no mention of their plan to eliminate Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) supports for Saskatchewan seniors as soon as they become eligible for Old Age Security (OAS). 

Another jobs report shows Saskatchewan losing the jobs people need, while the Sask. Party fails to do theirs

Yet another Statistics Canada report has highlighted the Sask. Party's failure to protect and create jobs in Saskatchewan. 

Newfoundland and Labrador was the only other province that did not benefit from a Canada wide upswing in the number of people with jobs. In fact, the Payroll Employment Earnings and Hours report shows that there are currently fewer employees in Saskatchewan than any time in the last five years.
