The Saskatchewan government says disciplinary measures will be taken against an employee who made an inappropriate social media post about China. A screenshot of a text exchange posted to the Instagram account of Alyssa Leippi began circulating on social media this week. A spokesman for the premier's office says the "inappropriate social media activity" doesn't reflect the government's views and policies. NDP respondsNDP Leader Ryan Meili released a statement on the matter saying the post "shocked and disappointed" him. Meili criticized the response from the premier's office as well, saying "the Premier's office offers no apology for this racist post, no redress for the communities impacted and no recognition that the remarks go beyond simply being 'inappropriate social media activity.'"
