In the realm that is all things political these days, Twitter, even political rivals can sometimes get along. While it may be colder than hell, hell has not yet frozen over.
On Friday, Feb. 12, Premier Scott Moe (@PremierScottMoe) tweeted, “I just want to thank everyone who works in any industry that helps keep us all from freezing.”
That was accompanied by a graphic from Regina Weather Records (@YQR_Weather) which showed that at 4 a.m. on Feb. 12, Regina had endured 106 consecutive hours of windchills greater than or equal to -40 C, the longest run on record.
Leader of the Opposition, New Democratic Party Leader Ryan Meili (@ryanmeili) retweeted the post, saying, “+1 at -40.”
A little later in the day, Moe tweeted, “Exciting news that the WHL East Division is coming to Regina! Seven clubs from Saskatchewan and Manitoba will play a 24-game season in a hub city format beginning March 12.
“The WHL’s hub format has been backed up by an impressive and extensive set of protocols reviewed and approved by public health officials in Saskatchewan. These protocols will help ensure that the WHL can resume while keeping players, staff and the community safe.”
To which Meili replied in a retweet, “Can't believe I'm RT'ing the premier 2x in one day, but this is pretty cool, a great example of a league doing the work so that sport can still happen safely. Great to see Regina chosen as the @TheWHL's hub city, looking forward to seeing these young players hit the ice.”
