  • I grew up in Saskatchewan where back in the day (60s and 70s) voting NDP was automatic.

    Alan Blakeney (NDP), premier from 1971-82, brought in a resolution to add a $0.10 per litre gas tax that would go into a Heritage account (so that Sask would have some savings for the next recession/drought).

    The population was pissed, so the next election they voted in Grant Devine (PC), who immediately spent every cent in the fund to fulfill his campaign promises and, by 1991, had Saskatchewan on the brink of bankruptcy.

    As of 2007 Sask has had far right wing leadership in the form of the Saskatchewan Party … a far cry from who they supported and believed in when Tommy Douglas was premier.

    The NDP recently won in Manitoba, but we have a huge mess left over from the Pallister/Goerzen/Stefanson fiascos.





  • “I think a lot of people, when they listen to Poilievre and the things that he says, eventually they’ll decide, ‘OK, maybe I don’t like Trudeau, but I really don’t like Poilievre,’” Marcus Powlowski, the Liberal MP for Thunder Bay–Rainy River, told a group of reporters on Wednesday.

    Yeah. Hoping that because PP is dumber than bag of marbles will help Trudeau win is a sad excuse to vote for more of the same lackadaisical leadership for another four years.

    And that leaves us with another Con shitheel in power … again.

    Oh the joy. :(
