  1. No. Are you a member of the Yukon Party? (Not that I’d hold it against you…John Ostashek was one of the classier politicians around, and I was sorry to hear that he passed away this year.)

  2. Are you a member of the Dipper (NDP/Liberal) Party, Johnny? Northern Vision is an investment company that is buying out small businesses in the Yukon; not a Political Party.

  3. I was looking at property Sask and noticed that property taxes in small towns in Sask are 4 times as much as small towns in BC. the property in Sask is cheap and lots of it must be left over from those fleeing for a better life. If the NDP gets the boot I will consider moving there.

  4. “Or maybe it’s simply that Saskatchewan roads are comparatively empty. One million people living on 300,000 square kilometers (bottom half of the province) of mainly empty space. Means fewer collisions, relatively speaking.”
    You might be on to something, Joe B. Several years ago I lived in Manitoba. The further away you lived from Winnipeg, the lower your auto insurance costs were. That was simply because the accident rate in the big city was higher, naturally, than out in the country.

  5. One of the “accomplishments” the NDP claim on their site is 150 more doctors licensed in SK since 1992. A quick Googling for UofS med school reveals that they graduate 60 people a year. That means 300 physicians were produced by SK since 2002 (and the enrollment at UofS is >90% students from SK) and the province was able to keep less than half of them. I suspect there are still a fair number of foreign trained physicians who use SK as a convenient place to enter Canada quickly before moving on to warmer climes. It would be interesting to get a breakdown of how many UofS grads were licensed in SK and how many foreigners, but keeping even 50% of graduating doctors is nothing to be proud of.

  6. Yeah, I know they’re not a “Political Party.” Northern Vision just got an award from the Chamber of Commerce. I have no membership in any Yukon party. I figured you were a member of the Yukon Party since you were feeling mighty free to criticize the Liberals and the NDP. You probably work for the Yukon Party, right?

  7. jema54….stop feeding the leftoid. It obviously knows nothing, and you will notice it hasn’t answered 1 of your Q’s straightforward.Just another dipper afraid of losing it’s cushy gubbermint job,although it shouldn’t be. Most of the smart flatlanders left long ago. Funny about that HUUUGGGEEEE barricade that keeps all of redneck Alberta’s oil/gas out of flatland. I though Maritimers(of which I am one were stupid). Guess the flatlanders want that title.Well,we do have leftard Queerbec/Morontario,might as well have Dipperland in the West.

  8. what JohnnyRingo neglects to say is that the premier was a dipper when he was convicted of selling heroin 24 years ago. he was a recent floorwalker.
    personally I wouldnt have voted for him ,but like Svend , he was a crook on dipper time.

  9. LMAO!! “Thank you for your interest”…..That’s rich. Ummmm…you brainiacs at dipper central would call it interest….I would charecterize it more as derision but whatever gets it done for ya.
    Btw Kate. Do you or any of the savy commentors here charge the NDP for web design consulting?
    Naw….probably pro bono being as they are so needy.
    Anyways, changing NDP communications strategy one embarassing faux pas at a time has it’s own rewards.

  11. SASKATCHEWAN AUTO INSURANCE FACTS
    In Saskatchewan we DO NOT HAVE CHEAPER INSURANCE!!
    What we do have is by far the best system and not because of SGI. In Saskatchewan if you get drunk, drive into a building, at high speed, causing millions in damage, your car insurance doesn’t go up one penny when you finally recover and regain your license. What does cost you is your actual driver’s license. I know of one person who had to pay over $2000 per year to get his license. This system is set up so that the reckless driver is punished, not the registrant of the vehicle.
    By removing the extreme high car insurance rates paid by the most dangerous drivers in the pool, you create the illusion that on average everyone is paying less, which is quite simply not true when all factors are considered. If Alberta or Ontario or BC were to have the same system with private insurance companies, were you insurance the driver separately from the vehicle, the numbers would be more comparable.
    In Saskatchewan we are use to the NDP manipulating the numbers in their favour, ie the “Rainy Day Fund”.

  13. @Stan:
    What is your major malfunction? You can’t have it both ways, you bleeding idiot: either the NDP is too socialist for you or it’s doing the right thing by implementing Conservative policies. How can you possibly deride the government for introducing tax cuts that you would support from the Sask Party?
    The problem is that you’re as locked in to your dogma as any of the NDP supporters you’re constantly mocking. You hate the NDP by virtue of being the NDP, regardless of the policies they introduce which fit within your worldview as being good for the people of Saskatchewan.
    Get a life.

  14. Stan – I rest my case that I made to Johnnyringo. YOU can’t have it both ways- you already had your kick at the cat and you Dippers failed. I call people who shed their beliefs when they find it expedient to do so; shallow, IQ challenged mini me’s. What do you think?

    Ohoh. Now jema54. Poor Stan is going to spend the rest of his life trying to figure out what “shallow”,”IQ challenged”,and “mini me’s” are.
    How could you be so cruel to one who is just following the herd? Next thing you know,his one brain cell is going to explode! Hehehehehehe.
    Even lemmings have more sense then a dipper.Hell,my retriever has more sense.

  16. Justthinkin – Thankyou for answering my question for Stan – he is probably looking for the pieces of his brain, as I write. A question asking for an answer is ‘out of the question’ for the mentally inept and corrupt Dipper mindset, I should have known that; thanks for reminding me.

  17. Jema: learn to punctuate. Yes, it’s a dirty ad hominem attack, but let’s be real for a second: you can’t claim to have a grasp on politics if you’re stymied by grade 6 English.
    Where in my post did I say I was an NDP supporter? Of course — anything that challenges you MUST be from the opposing camp. It turns out that I’m a born and bred big C Conservative who just happens to give the NDP a fair shake every now and then because I’m not closed-minded enough to discount the fact that they do some things right. When they’re implementing Conservative-style tax cuts, God bless ’em — because that’s what I want. I don’t really care which government’s behind it, just get it done.
    And while there’s a lot of things about the government that I don’t like, I don’t think Brad Wall is doing a good job in the opposition. Where’s this health care plan he talks about in his latest ad? Not on the website. Where’s all the policy he said he’d roll out in the months following the end of session? Nowhere. Where was the policy discussion at convention? Oh, right. And how about following that code of ethics you guys made a big deal about bringing in?
    On the one side, we have a government in power that all you clowns hate solely because they’re the NDP. And on the other side we have a man whose sole aim is a grab for power. There are few things good on either side, quite frankly, and Brad Wall ought to be turfed out of the party on his ass so someone else can do the job properly. He’s running the SaskParty into the ground just like he did to the Country Music Hall of Fame.
    Justthinkin: biggest misnomer ever.
