Scott Moe Seeks Second Term as Saskatchewan Premier

From hockey player to politician, Moe's journey includes personal challenges and political battles.

  • Scott Moe, a former hockey player, began his political career in 2011 and has served as Saskatchewan's premier since 2018.
  • Moe's early life was marked by a tragic car accident in 1997, which resulted in the death of Jo-Anne Balog; he publicly apologized to her son years later.
  • His tenure as premier has faced significant challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare system strain, and inflationary pressures.
  • Moe has taken steps to address these issues by hiring more health workers, opening new health centers, and increasing education funding.
  • He lifted all COVID-19 measures in February 2022 during the 'Freedom Convoy' protests, a decision that drew both support and criticism.
