Over the past decade, a climate of polarization and
hyper-partisanship has swept Saskatchewan into a near-perpetual
state of anger and social division. Embers of discontent have been
fanned into flames by opportunistic politicians and their industry
cronies, who have together sought to rebrand the province into a
materialistic, macho alter-ego called the New Saskatchewan. These
actions are not without consequences. In Divided, diverse voices
describe the impact on their lives and communities when simmering
wedge issues burst open on social media and in public spaces. The
collection dives deep into the long set-up to this moment, from the
colonial past to the four decades of neoliberal economics that have
widened social and economic gaps across all sectors. Divided
positions Saskatchewan as a fascinating and unexpected case study
of the global trends of division and provides testament to the
resiliency of a vision of social solidarity against all odds.
