Weekes has attended anti-abortion March for Life rallies in Regina and Ottawa.[3][4] In the 2018 Saskatchewan Party leadership election, Weekes supported Ken Cheveldayoff. In December 2023, he lost re-nomination for the 2024 Saskatchewan general election to Kim Gartner.[5]
On May 15, 2024, prior to the end of the legislative session, Weekes posted a photo on X of his Saskatchewan Party membership card cut in half, with the caption “Enough is Enough", indicating that he had left the party. During a speech at the final session the next day, Weekes accused assembly leader Jeremy Harrison of trying to influence his rulings by sending him "intimidating and harassing" text messages, and of bringing a hunting rifle into the legislature building. Premier Scott Moe responded to the allegations, claiming they were "third-party hearsay".[6][7] On May 24, 2024, Harrison stepped down as house leader, admitting that prior to a trip, he had—with security's knowledge—briefly brought a cased hunting rifle into the building ahead of a trip so that it would not be left unattended in his vehicle, but that "In retrospect, I should not have done this."[8]
Weekes officially resigned from the Saskatchewan Party caucus on June 24, 2024, to sit as an independent until the next election.[9]
