  • Settler Supremacy Revival: Saskatchewan Under Scott Moe

    Settler Supremacy Revival: Saskatchewan Under Scott Moe
    2024/10/25
    Scott Moe became leader of the Saskatchewan Party (and premier of the province) in 2018, after a hotly contested (and often unpleasant) leadership race. Considered "centre right" and someone who was likely to keep close to the party's status quo, Moe has instead marched the party (and the province) steadily rightward.

  • Bad Trees Bear Bad Fruit: How the Liberals, PCs, and NDP Sowed the Sask Party

    Bad Trees Bear Bad Fruit: How the Liberals, PCs, and NDP Sowed the Sask Party
    2024/07/04
    In the 1990s Saskatchewan was in almost as dire a position as it had been during the Great Depression. The province was on the verge of bankruptcy, people were leaving in droves, the PC party was collapsing under the weight of the fraud scandal, the Liberals were in freefall, and the NDP, led by Roy Romanow, was slashing services to the bone. The collapse of the PCs and Liberals, coupled with the NDP’s hard right turn away from everything it had ever claimed to stand for created the conditions for the rise of the party we live under today. First in a three-part series on the Saskatchewan Party.

  • The Church Must Gather: Anticipating the Rise of the Canadian Christian Right

    The Church Must Gather: Anticipating the Rise of the Canadian Christian Right
    2024/01/13
    Evangelical Christians have impacted the social and political fabric of Saskatchewan for over a century, from fur-trade era missionaries to the temperance movement to the anti-trans "parent's rights" legislation. At the same time, the movement in Canada has tended towards moderation in comparison to their counterparts in the U.S. This episode examines the history of evangelicals in Saskatchewan and Canada and how the rise of Trump and the COVID era has put new energy into Canada's Christian right.
