REALITY CHECK: Scott Moe’s COVID-19 Fiction

Yesterday, Scott Moe made three assertions that have absolutely no basis in reality.

Moe:

“We have committed vast amount of resources to ensure long-term care is as safe as it could possibly be."

 

Fact:

They haven't. Scott Moe has left more than $30 million federal funding on the table, and he's sitting on $260 million from the budget that should be used to save lives.

Moe:

“The measures that we have in place have in a large part kept Saskatchewan residents safe.”

 

Fact:

They haven’t. Deaths have tripled since this public health order was introduced on December 17.

Moe:

“The measures that we do have in place, are working, they continue to work.”

 

Fact:

They aren’t. Presently, Saskatchewan has both the worst COVID-19 death rate and case rate in Canada.

My thoughts are with the 117 workers and their families who will be impacted by this decision. 

These are families being thrown into financial anxiety, because of the total mismanagement of Saskatchewan's forestry industry by Scott Moe and the Sask. Party. 

From refusing to assist the forest sector when it comes to Donald Trump's tariffs, to allowing disease, insects, and wildfires to devastate forests and destroy investment, it’s clear that Scott Moe and the Sask. Party don't view our forests as assets worth managing. 

Our team has made a number of calls to support the forest sector, including allowing dues free salvage of the burned areas to aid reforestation, to focusing on replanting to show a commitment to growth. 

Carla Beck’s team has listened to the industry and community stakeholders for the forest sector, and are working to support them to protect the good jobs and communities that rely on them. 

The Sask. Party has failed the forest sector, workers and communities for nearly two decades, and now 117 workers in Prince Albert are facing the consequences. 

It’s time for change.
