Thats because the ndp are forward thinking business minded political leaders.

[SASKFARMER3]

She was a opportunist who now thinks that the NDP are the way. Most people figured she was a die hard liberal who ran for the conservatives just to get elected. Now she thinks the NDP is the way.

She will lose her seat and be done with politics the next time round.

Ah Albertas love of the NDP.

I met Sandra Jansen once way back in the day,that was enough.

Same old song and dance, "the conservatives are moving to far right extremism, they want to take away your rights" typical left wing fear mongering. Grass farmer, don't you get tired of flying in circles? Always flapping that left wing of yours.

Danielle Smith hosts a conservative talk radio program. Yesterday it was mostly about the defection. Boy are people pissed, as would I be if the person I voted for did an about face like that. Quite the betrayal. There were a couple callers that put a few digs in on Danielle as they called in too. For you out of province people she was the Wild rose leader and her a and a few others crossed the floor just before the last election. I believe that we would have not ended up with the NDP and she would have been premier if she didn't jump ship.

I sure hope the young people and Edmonton government workers wake up and pay attention next time. Democracy as we know it is a broken system.

I'm worried the conservatives are gonna screw it up again by going overboard on issues they can't win. The 2 big ones they won't seem to let go are anti abortion and Lgtbq rights. Neither impress me either but to make them the big issue is only gonna overshadow all the economic issues and divide would be conservatives into other parties.

I am going to move to Ontario and run as a Trump-style Conservative. Ontaronians have been tortured enough.

I get a kick out of all the Albertans on Brad Walls Facebook page telling him he is the best thing since Jesus and he should be prime minister...... he neglects to tell them that the govt is broke here too, we just have Elevated Spin to a New Levelt. Lol

I agree that we will be running provincial government defecits. We (the citizens) are just practicing the art of distraction. We will look and talk about about how severe it is "over there" until the the discomfort sets in "over here".

Wow things fall apart in oil potash and gas and you guys think a 600 mil deficit is awful.

Wow whats she running in alberta couple billion or ontario or quebec how many billion.

Yes he better get a handle on it but really compared to Nutlee not a bad job so far.

Don't get me started on boy wonder in ottawa.

Two generations to clean up his dads shit and here we go again.

Trudeau 2.0

[mustardman]

Sasky. You didn't hear the news? Sask party just votd to borrow 6 BILLION. Oh ya were good. WTF!!!

[iceman]

It's easier to get the pope to swear than it is to get SF3 to criticize the sask party. He still figures the Saskasteal party will cut him in on the take.
Sorry son no overpasses planned for pothole country.

Iceman Out

[sawfly1]

it is just a bad time to be the govt. in alberta, sask. for that matter too



when the NDP had to clean up the devine mess and did successfully
they are just over taxing socialists.

same thing in Alberta now, the conservatives have dumped the mess on the NDP, voters have short memory's, so in 3 years the blame for the oil bust will shift to the notley govt.

brad wall will have the same deficit troubles, but conservatives will find a way to blame Trudeau
for it here.

just think how much worse off Sask. would be now, if the potash royalties the ndp fought for did not exist. no one remembers that stuff though . do they

alberta con.s are now looking for their donald trump.
someone to believe in

someone , who is better and smarter , bigger , richer . hotter wife etc.
better than
everyone else at everything . and not afraid to share that info with others.


i think we may even have a potential candidate in our own mist here

[westernvicki]

Ralph Klein rollback anyone?

[SASKFARMER3]

I have one problem with the Devine mess as you call it.

See lets look at politics and how good the NDP were in their day at politics in saskatchewan.

Manitoba same size population as sask with similar economies and manitoba is what 20 plus billion or more in debt and never had their loans called. as Romanow says happened here. Or was it excellent politics they got a free ride with voters for years hell I still have NDP friends that blame Devine yet they were to young to even vote for him.
Sask at that time was just over 12 billion in debt.

Im thinking the Old NDP were so good at fabricating stories to keep elected the Devine bust was just another one. Manitoba would have had theirs called earlier and would have been done.

Ah politics.

Yes brad is making some mistakes but take a drive to Alberta and wow were not doing that bad at all.

Oil down

Potash down.

Roads and infrastructure was crap under Roy and the boys.

Rebuild happened.

Ill take door number one instead of whats behind door number two and the NDP.

Just saying they are no boy scouts and the new batch is just not like the old boys Roy, Eddy, Janice, Who were masters at politics.
