Politics is an ugly ugly game. Now it’s out that Ken Ritter will get a position with the Saskatchewan Government when his term at the CWB is over, courtesy of his buddy Bill Boyd (for foreigners - he’s the Minister of Energy) and the Premier. Ken Ritter, Deputy Minister of Energy? How about a single desk agency for our province’s oil and gas? Think our energy producers will take well to that idea?
It was distasteful enough that Boyd was rumored to have been lobbying on behalf of Mr. Ritter and the CWB prior to the Saskatchewan election. It must have been true because now the payback is coming, and it’s even smellier. First Ritter pays Boyd - now Boyd pays Ritter. First incident was with my pool account funds, the second with my tax dollars.
When will politicians ever learn? I thought Brad Wall was an intelligent guy, but actions speak louder than words. It’s hard to believe how fast these guys can make the same mistakes that every time - always - guaranteed - time after time -starts their path to political defeat. These guys won’t last past one term if it starts this soon.
It looks like rewarding an old buddy is more important than principle at the Sask Party. I don’t know how others feel, but this hurts. I gotta go get the knife out of my back. Then, if I have any blood left, I will call Brad Wall and let him know this kind of politics is about as stinking as it gets. And I won’t be contributing to the Sask Party in any fashion in the future.
By the way, in case you want to call somebody …….
