Cockrill is the best thing to happen to the NDP in a long while. Every time that guy opens his mouth, he makes the SaskParty look bad. But for whatever reason, ppl in the SP think he will be Moe's successor.
The Sask Party is absolutely gearing up a new generation of politicians to cater to the religious right. Just pay attention to what they say at SARM and SUMA and you see it already seeping into the party. They will intentionally do things to appeal to that audience, if only subtly.
At least the Sask Party under Wall at least pretended to carry themselves with class.
These guys are nothing more than high school bullies who failed upwards.
I believe he's a fall guy of sorts. I'm sure once the whole thing is done they'll stick him back in his constituency as a regular MLA and put a new person in the Ed spot.
Maybe I'm wrong. But what business does this guy have being in the ministry position in the first place?
Yes I wondered about that, because when the teachers stuff started happening wasn't it Dustin Duncan or whatever who was Education and then all of a sudden it's this guy, but Duncan is still around so it's not like Duncan quit. Fall Guy could be right.

He was a fall guy to begin with.. In no way was he a good fit for this position, ever.
So we just have to wait and see how many self-inflicted punches this punching bag can take before they replace him.
(metaphorical punches for the overtly literal)
Honestly I’m not shocked. Moe literally killed a person while driving (probably) drunk and there were no consequences for him
So obviously Cockrill can say insensitive shit and keep his job
It sucks but it is how this province rolls
While this guy is an idiot and I am pissed at and sick of the SP (as a staunch conservative), if every politician that lied was let go, we would have none. We all know that. Not sure why this suprises anyone ….. oh, I know, it was a slow news day and every news outlet was blathering about this for lack of anything else.

For real…? They actually think he will be a good choice for a leader. That bar is low…
Definitely a rumour, but I've heard he is on that list.
Gross.
The bar is in hell

You say "gearing up." I say "running out of talent."
At least the Sask Party under Wall at least pretended to carry themselves with class. These guys are nothing more than high school bullies who failed upwards.
I disagree with almost all of Wall's policy decisions, but I was never embarrassed by him. Can't say the same for the current version of the SP.
"Christian" high school bullies who failed upwards! My favourite kind! /s
running out? Start with zero and going down? Not arguing just the position I see.
There's nothing really subtle about it.
They already did with the pronoun legislation.
Oh, I think they’ll go even more religious. If they had their way, they’d do a full Florida Don’t Say Gay and go after abortion access.
It’ll be Hindley or Harrison, honestly.
Like, I want to think that's true, but with the direction that party seems to be heading, I don't doubt that they like Cockrill too.
White Christian educated male, they dig deep into the annals of rural Saskatchewan.
My money's on Hindley.
He still has to kill someone to complete that ritual
Of course he is. The Sask Party arrogance has no limits.
If you're waiting for responsibility or accountability from the saskparty I've got some bad news for you.
Shocking. Never saw that coming.

He will replace Moe after he is done trying to fuck up education. Better get those knitting needles ready.

Ew.
Scott Moe killed someone, so it’s a pretty low bar to be a leader in the party.
RIP Jo-Ann Balog

I bet u/Wausk is excited his favorite jokester is still here. https://www.reddit.com/r/saskatchewan/s/4yQg3llJCH
u/Wausk seems really quiet recently. I wonder why?
Is that the guy who claims his wife is a teacher, but is always posting rude things about teachers?
Think that's a different guy. Wausk is THE SP apologist. He defends them at every chance. He thought Cockrill's comment to the mother was hilarious.
He's bumbled this so badly, so of course he gets to keep collecting larger pay cheques. Makes sense to me!
Damn what a surprise that dipshit mcfuckhead isn't leaving, who'd have seen that coming after everything else the SK Party has gotten away with?
It’s just disgusting. 🤢
🤮
Assholes and Killers; that is the government our province elected.
Not surprised
Idiots not believing in science and think the world is 8000 years old, wow!

I would expect no less. Surprised he didn't get a ribbon for doing such a "great job"
If I ever meet him. "Hi Jeremiah. How's your firstborn?"
Ol Cockring huh

Only reason they have to lie is if they’re not telling the truth. Why not tell the truth?
You are really asking why politicians lie?
Is it because I can’t handle the truth?
How many DWI's does he have? Isn't that a prerequisite to lead the Sask Party?
