While making the campaign promise about more funding for diabetes programs, the SaskParty leader also made a personal disclosure about an incident in 1994 when he was 20 years old where he was in an accident in Shellbrook and was charged with impaired driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Moe says, neither were true and his charges were later withdrawn. He decided to bring this forward before someone else did.

This, after a recent social media post from one of the sons of the woman who was killed in a collision with Moe in 1997, Joanne Balog. Steve Balog says his family has never received an apology. Moe says there are reasons for these things, but he will make an apology after the campaign, because the politically-charged atmosphere of a campaign is not the appropriate time.

Moe adds he has previously spoken numerous times about his impaired driving conviction in 1992 and to the fatal accident in ’97. He realizes that he made some poor choices, but stresses his younger self is not the person you see before you today.
