Former NDP Politicians Support Regina MP Erin Weir

By Carol Thomson Sep 6, 2018 | 4:57 PM

A group of 67 former Saskatchewan NDP MPs and MLAs are coming to the defence of Erin Weir.

The MP for Regina-Lewvan was kicked out of the NDPs federal caucus after a third-party investigation into allegations of harassment and sexual harassment.

Jagmeet Singh told Weir he will not be welcomed back and will not be allowed to run under the NDP banner in the next federal election.

Pat Atkinson speaks for the group of 67 and says Singh’s actions are reprehensible.

She says they are concerned about the process that Singh used and are concerned that there is no redemption for Weir.

She calls it heartless. Atkinson says this move could have some serious electoral repercussions in Saskatchewan in the next federal election happens. (ckrm)

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
