holy hell 🇨🇦
Randy Weekes, long-time Speaker of the #Saskatchewan Legislature was shaking & trembling today as he read into the record his fear that one of the most powerful ministers in Scott Moe's cabinet might murder him for following the Speaker rules.
Mr. Weekes says Government House Leader Jeremy Harrison has wanted to carry handguns in the assembly & actually brought in a hunting rifle.

“I didn’t know about this,” chuckled Premier Moe.
