Lyle was one of the most consequential Ag ministers this province has had. He led crop insurance expansion, was a great prov rep negotiating the suite of fed/prov ag programs and was a tireless trade mission traveler to both steward and open new markets for our producers. 1/2
In 2019, Lyle delivered an outstanding Easter statement about his faith. In true understated Lyle fashion, he said he knew when this day came, “I’ll be okay.” Enjoy your gift, my friend.

We have lost a unique impactful soul who was what the kids today would say was “built different”. I have been very fortunate to be a part of the Stewart family through my amazing wife Stephanie Batstone. Lyle made a difference in Saskatchewan, has a legacy of beautiful kids.
Another difficult day as we have lost another friend and colleague. Lyle Stewart, long-time Saskatchewan Party MLA and former Agriculture Minister has passed away at the age of 73 following a lengthy battle with cancer. Lyle was the MLA for Thunder Creek and Lumsden-Morse and a key member of our team for nearly 24 years, from 1999 until his retirement from politics last year. Lyle was a man of few words, which is unusual for a politician, but you always knew where he stood. His quiet strength and dedication to the people he served were an example to all of us who served with him. Lyle was a good friend and I will miss him a lot. On behalf of the our government and the province, I want to express my deepest condolences to the family and many friends of Lyle Stewart. Flags at the Legislature will be lowered to half-mast in his honour.

Trudeau Liberals appoint an antisemite who compared Israelis to Nazis as head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Liberal MP Housefather could agree to recall committee to investigate this grotesque appointment but he won’t. The NDP & Bloc could too, but they won’t. Only Common Sense Conservatives will ensure all Canadians feel safe in their own communities.
Spineless Liberals Trudeau's  new human rights commissioner has a grotesque anti-Israel record. Liberal MP Anthony Housefather has the power to recall Justice Committee, question the Minister and confront the commissioner. Instead, Housefather will prop up Trudeau & let this  antisemitic commissioner off the hook. All of this while Trudeau blocks Housefather's appointment to a role fighting antisemitism. #cdnpoli

“The sources said Afghan Sikhs were not considered an operational priority for the Canadian military as they had no link to Canada. Mr. Sajjan’s intervention, the sources say, impacted the rescue of Canadians and other Afghans on Canada’s priority list.”

Holy HELL: “Then-defence minister Harjit Sajjan instructed Canadian special forces to rescue about 225 Afghan Sikhs after the Taliban takeover in August, 2021, in an operation that three military sources say took resources away from getting Canadian citizens and Afghans linked to Canada on final evacuation flights out of Kabul.” theglobeandmail.com/politics…

My 2 minute recap of today’s BC Review Board Hearing for 3x child killer Allan Schoenborn. Please remember - he is more evil than ill. #bcpoli

Triple child killer Allan Schoenborn has a message for the public, “lighten up”, stop focusing on his “mistake” and give him “credit for the progress” he has made. #bcpoli

BC Review Board hearing for 3x child killer Allan Schoenborn has wrapped. Decision will be released in 2 to 3 days and the Reasons in 6 to 8 weeks. I am guessing his 28 days unescorted leave will remain and hope no additional privileges will be granted. #bcpoli

I know we’re watching hockey, but this is appalling. The government’s new appointment as the chair of the Canada human rights commission posted links to articles comparing Israelis to Nazis and Palestinians to Jews incarcerated in the Warsaw Ghetto. theglobeandmail.com/gift/bc5…
