    The SKoop: "The Apology Tour"

First, they discuss NDP MLA Nathaniel Teed's so-called "privacy breach" by the government, regarding his position on SLGA liquor stores. Then they dig into the backroom process and politics of Scott Moe and Christine Tell's apologies this week in the wake of the Colin Thatcher throne speech saga, particularly: what is it like to advise a political leader that they need to apologize? Then, they analyze the Saskatchewan First Act and its political implications, and then wrap up with the inaugural segment of "What Actually Mattered This Week".

"I did get to a point where it was medical leave. I had to take that time off because I don't know what happens after that; the answer was probably body shut-down and that's how much I had worked myself into a state where I really needed rest." - Mumilaaq Qaqqaq PERSIST is produced by 306 Media Productions.
