Shame what happened to Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan helped pull Canada into the 20th century with concepts like universal health care and pool-sharing for the agricultural sector, but in recent years they've started to turn into Alberta Lite out there.

You are partially correct on the first part. Even though trump was woefully negligent in what he could have done to stem the tide (it's only 8 cases and we have it under control, he made fun of/disregarded mask wearing etc., etc.) I didn't and wouldn't say that he was responsible for all 2020 deaths. That would be taking hyperbole to a ridiculous level.
Actually, I don't think that I commented much on governors. NY (which was a major portal for infected people flying into the states) and Cali got it bad initially, but once they implemented statewide measures based on scientific protocol they seemed to recover much quicker, becauseNo one can deny that over time the southern states (mostly R governors) and a lot of the mid-west (also R) did way worse. Texas, Fla, the Dakotas all got hammered and for the longest time frame as well. Their vax rates are lower and they still, for the most part lead the way in new cases.
It is a fact that the red states, in general, have done horribly compared to blue. It's tough to be hypocritical when you deal in facts.
How did Saskatchewan go from the greatest in Tommy Douglas to a shit show in Moe?
Probably when Sask. started becoming a bigger player in the oil game. Oil seems to turn people into dicks.
The short time you have been here proves to me you are the spirit of TJ and you are just as full of shit as ever!
You would miss me as your compass. You are still completely lost but listening to me help a bit to snap you into reality.
I don't believe you but I know why if you have because
Pretty sure the Natives he's talking about weren't around for that.
I'm also not sure why there's a tendency to cast entirety of blame on one or the other. Did European usurping of Native land contribute to the current situation? Of course, though we'll never know what the situation would be without that intervention either. But when an entire people refuses to take any responsibility for their lives, they become a perpetual victim culture, always looking to point the finger and demand reparations. If you expect good to come of that in the long run, that's foolish thinking.
Denying reality is unhelpful too. To call it racist to acknowledge the fact that indigenous vaccination rates are low or the fact that indigenous obesity rates are higher than the general public, is ridiculous and more of that fingerpointing. Maybe if we weren't so intent on the constant fingerpointing, there wouldn't be so much distrust between modern Natives and the government? Then vaccination rates might be higher, eh? I'm well aware that past governments have made horrific mistakes that spurred such distrust. But that's a different government from today's government, so why do we treat them as the same entity?
Oil plays a smaller role in Saskatchewan's wealth than potash does. The PRC will never break relations with Canada, potash is critically important to them. Why so, it's natural fertalizer, an alkaline potassium compound deposited in Sask and Manitoba when the Inland Sea of the Cretaceous Epoch dried up. That's how Moe Howard can join Jason Kenney ,flashing their hairy chests, calling for separation.
Stephen Harper originally vetoed the deal with the PRC, not sure Justin can get away with doing the same.

The funny thing about 'Alberta-Saskatchewan separation' is that even if they realistically could separate (which they pretty much can't) they're the only two provinces without access to tidewater to ship their goods. Their only hope would be "Western separation" but there's no way BC and Manitoba would go for that, so they'd be beholden to Canada for transport -- either that or become nothing more than a country that existed solely to send goods to the US.
Geographically, Alberta and Saskatchewan are the two provinces least suitable to become sovereign.
It's now old news that farmboy Brock Lesnar moved to Saskatchewan. He has a ranch right in the middle of potash country. Maybe they should get Woody Allen to tell him he can't walk over a team logo.
Where do you get your facts from?? The Federal Government provided the Indigenous Citizens priority in vaccines distribution.
This Saskatchewan Government screwed up badly with no restrictions in place and when reopening their economies in spite of their own Medical Experts warning about the imminent 4th wave!! So this 4th wave has nothing to do with the Federal Government rollout as anybody who needs the vaccine can get both the shots. It is the Right Wing Conspiracy theorists who are the vaccine hesitant and do not believe in basics such as mask wearing or capacity restrictions. Their so called "freedoms" towards the virus infections seem to be their top priority!!
Nothing Trump could have done to avert this crisis. If anything his actions saved lives.
Contrary to your 'facts' the red states have not done horribly compared to blue states. Here are the top 10 states by deaths per 100,000 from Covid-19.
Mississippi 335
New Jersey 313
Alabama 312
Louisiana 311
New York 289
Arizona 285
Massachusetts 274
Florida 273
Arkansas 273
Rhode Island 271
5 have a Republican governor. 5 have a Democrat governor
Economic recovery is dominated by red states.
Red states leading US economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic
States with Republican governors are leading the U.S. economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, while those run by Democrats – which tended to impose lengthier and stricter lockdowns on businesses – are faced with significantly higher unemployment rates.

Fox business, really?

And Florida is now number one in the whole country in the covid control and up there in the economic activity. No masks mandates, no vaccine mandates no tearing apart the society or destroying people and their livelihoods. Of course they have a leader and we have "experts", media cheerleaders and a "leader" who lets doctors run the province.Nothing Trump could have done to avert this crisis.
