Reality Check: Paul who?

Minister of Health Paul Merriman’s last public sighting was over a month ago, on August 25, when he claimed his government’s public health response to the 4th wave was going just fine and that the Government of Saskatchewan was “not looking at any change in direction.” Here’s what’s changed since the Minister last showed up to work:

13,052 people have contracted COVID-19
181 more people in hospital battling COVID-19
Active case load has tripled
80 more Saskatchewan families are grieving
Sask.’s top doctor confirmed the Ministry is withholding modelling
Cancer, cardiac and brain surgeries have been cancelled
Adults are taking up pediatric intensive care beds in the children’s hospital
Pediatric treatment, therapies and surgeries have been cancelled
Saskatchewan’s organ donation program has been suspended
SHA has redistributed its ethical triage guide

Minister Paul Merriman seems to have already quit -- it’s time to make it official. It’s time for him to resign.
