Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe\u0027s staff rightly blocked people from his Twitter and NDP Leader Carla Beck should have called for civility.
Carla Beck is the leader of the Opposition NDP. Premier Scott Moe is head of the governing Saskatchewan Party. Photos by KAYLE NEIS/Regina Leader-PostI recently learned that Chequers, the famous countryside home of British prime ministers, wasn’t always government property.
While Winston Churchill famously made Chequers into his second headquarters during the Second World War and the blitz on London, thus upending Sir Lee’s wishes, I was struck by what a quaint idea this was: at one point we afforded our political leaders a bit of time to themselves and with family, to rest and relax with the hopes that doing so will help them perform better on behalf of the people that elected them.
Social media was without a doubt one of the culprits that led to Ardern’s decision, and I believe it is for many others, as well. The advent and growth of social media platforms has allowed many citizens to think that their political leaders are somehow their own personal property, that every trip they take, everything they do should be met with scrutiny and questions.
Concern for the well-being of our political leaders isn’t confined to our Saskatchewan borders. As much as I disagree with his approach to politics and the policies that damage Saskatchewan, I believe we are too hard on Justin Trudeau when we complain about the personal vacations he takes with his family.
