In this episode, Dale and Sally are joined by Samantha Yaholnitsky! We go through the latest on the teacher's contract issue, and specifically what tactics the STF have deployed to gain the upper hand on the government, and what the province can do to equalize the situation. Then, the trio goes through the headwinds facing the government right now and the subsequent feeling of momentum for the NDP, with Sam giving her advice on what the government can do to find their way out of the challenges right now. We also go through a couple of federal issues, including the effort to rebrand the carbon tax rebate, as well as Minister Steven Guilbeault's plans to stop funding road projects across Canada.

In this episode of The SKoop, the gang goes through the big stories of the week. First up is the announcement that four senior Sask. Party cabinet ministers won't run again this fall, the potential reasons for their depatures, their legacies, and what it means for the 2024 election including possible new candidates. Then we go zero in on the ongoing teachers strike and the bargaining standoff between the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation and the provincial government, considering the implications of the proposed wage increase and mechanisms to manage classroom complexity. We also analyze NDP MP Charlie Angus's anti-oil and gas private members bill, and give an update on nominations and digitial advertising by the NDP. Thanks for listening!
