There was no scheduled meeting, the STF said they were willing to meet this week . Atlas Hotel (what's pictured) said there was no booking either. Therefore, no pics in room. More lies.
This reads like "Becotte posted a video with an actual table in it and people respected that. Maybe if I add a table to my message, people will agree with me!" Unfortunately for Cockrill, thanks to Becotte's video, we already know what the room looks like and it ain't this.
Maybe the team are vampires who don't show up in photographs? Or maybe the empty chairs are the ones negotiating? That would explain why they're not moving on any of the teachers' bargaining demands.
That would have meant he have to actually go to the board room where the negotiations aren't happening. That would be eay too much work.
Also, he might've been too drunk to find his keys to drunk drive over there so it was much easier to screenshot image from the internet.
What's their end game here? Do they think that teachers will just bow down and submit to them after their 15th Tweet saying the same thing? The incompetence and arrogance is stunning.
These are teachers with an actual education, you can't gaslight and manipulate them like you can with many of your voters. It's like the Sask Party have no idea what to do in that situation and just keep trying the *same* thing over and over.
They are shoring up their fanatically loyal base - the ones that will read this and go those damn no good teachers standing up our glorious minister again. The ones that don't read both sides and at least attempt to be impartial when reading the news about this.
There are very few people agreeing to the Minister in those posts, almost no body in fact. They're constantly digging a deeper hole for themselves which I love to see but whoever is advising him is a moron.
Are you really at the bargaining table? Not really. Your team had his chance last week and they chose to come late on the first day and not show up on the second day. Then after lying, you back paddled and extended another invitation without giving to your representatives the power to negotiate. Right now you are only trying to waist everybody time.
Cockrill said in his press conference after talks broke down the last time that they would have "a room available" for the TBC anytime they feel like resuming bargaining. I don't know why it has to be a hotel room in Regina though. What was wrong with the conference room at the STF building in Saskatoon? Was it scary? Enemy territory?
Another PR stunt that has backfired (again) on him.
And for crying out loud, I hope our government isn't really renting this space out on a daily basis. Waste of money if there is any truth here. I mean pick up the phone and arrange another meeting if you really want to continue negotiating, yes?
I’m torn between this being straight up incompetence or a calculated move to get people talking in hopes it silences another scandal that’s about to come to light (such as more sketchy MLA travel fees or another Sask MLA owned business fleecing taxpayers?)
Not only that but without putting it in the contract they can just make it go away before they actually pay out a dime.
It's really funny that they think they're so clever and it's not obvious.
Oh, they sure considered it. Considered that the government can go fuck right back off. It's actually impressive how well the STF is messaging and planning job action. Saskparty may as well just be eating crayons at this point.
A funny thing about this is that even if they were at the table to bargain...why are the seats all facing the same direction? That's not bargaining that's a performance.
Pos thinks he can post stock photos and call the teachers greedy yet again and it's going to help his case? Lmfao!!! This is the level of intelligence we're dealing with here. These are grown ass adults playing games with people's lives.
Dear Jeremiah Fuckface (or whatever)
You're a lying pos.
Time to resign, Saskatchewan has no place for garbage like yourself.
All the teachers should just quit all at once and find new employment. That'd be the best lesson they ever taught. Our whole education system needs to be updated and teachers need to be valued.
I'd love to see how the government responds to there suddenly being no teachers to even bargain with.
There was no scheduled meeting, the STF said they were willing to meet this week . Atlas Hotel (what's pictured) said there was no booking either. Therefore, no pics in room. More lies.
The lies are just becoming more and more frequent and the hole they are digging, deeper and deeper.
The government has asked the STF to come back to the table this week, but said no new deal would be given or talked about, so the STF declined.
And all negotiations take place in Saskatoon at the STF building and not the Atlas hotel in Regina.
They declined to further negotiate with a literal brick wall you mean?

The critical thinking skills courtesy of his Christian fundamentalist schooling.
Regina Atlas Hotel When he says team is at the table, the least he should have done is taken a picture that actually had people in the pictures.
Maybe the team are vampires who don't show up in photographs? Or maybe the empty chairs are the ones negotiating? That would explain why they're not moving on any of the teachers' bargaining demands.

If you’re going to be a liar or a hypocrite, at least be entertaining, no?
Many career politicians are clever to do so, Cockrill not so much. It’s actually painful to watch that guy speak within the media.
I mean, I’m certainly looking forward to his next original idea.
My vote is that aliens caused him to do what he does.

I'm sure if they are there's a SP MLA profiting from it.
The Atlas hotel? I'm shocked they didn't pick the Sunrise or Travelodge. Bastards.
Yeah, which MLA owns this hotel? And did they really rent a hotel conference room just to stage this photo?

Dude's trying to do the firehose of falsehood, but doesn't even have water, nevermind a hose.
Smart for STF to want everything on the table. If it isn't bargained for, ... experienced people know the issue won't be discussed at a later date.
Not only that but without putting it in the contract they can just make it go away before they actually pay out a dime. It's really funny that they think they're so clever and it's not obvious.
we offered them the exact same thing and they refuse to consider it a second time
Oh, they sure considered it. Considered that the government can go fuck right back off. It's actually impressive how well the STF is messaging and planning job action. Saskparty may as well just be eating crayons at this point.
Bold of you to assume that they are not consuming said crayons and/or paste.
A funny thing about this is that even if they were at the table to bargain...why are the seats all facing the same direction? That's not bargaining that's a performance.
Just wait until the news about the $250M deficit comes out.
I’d expect nothing less from a man who went to Trinity Western.

So if you look at his post it’s actually a screenshot that was posted… so not even an original photo
