Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is reiterating his claim that his government’s school pronoun policy was based on extensive consultations with parents, teachers and others, but a judge says there’s no evidence those occurred.

Moe comments Friday came one day after Regina Court of King’s Bench Justice Michael Megaw placed an injunction on the controversial policy, which would require parental consent for all students under 16 to change their names or pronouns at school.

Moe has pledged to reconvene the legislature Oct. 10 to invoke the notwithstanding clause and overrule Megaw’s decision.

Speaking at a Saskatoon leisure centre Friday morning, Moe said the policy was based on “multiple conversations various government MLAs have had with parents, educators, others, and myself included as an MLA.”

Megaw painted a different picture in his ruling.

“There is no indication…that the [Education] Ministry discussed this new Policy with any potential interested parties such as teachers, parents, or students,” he wrote.

    Scott Moe is a trump level liar, who killed a person while driving drunk. He does not have the capacity nor ability to be in politics. His very existence speaks to the stupidity of the Sask. voters.
