Beaten Premier – Small Dead Animals

It’s amazing how pragmatic and rational the leftist dialogue becomes when they realize the jig is up. One could almost carry on a civil conversation with them.
PS – for the record, I liked the pinstripes

I just wish they could get rid of all these monopolies here, some competition happening would be beneficial. Sasktel, Saskenergy, Saskpower, particularly Sasktel. What is it with Sask..???

More signs that socialism is on the decline everywhere. Reality always wins in the end. The fantasy crap those big lefties pedal is the unsustainable ideal that you can bilk the productive people in your society to give the less-motivated members a wonderful work-free life forever. The law of nature that eventually growing number of parasites eventually kill the host.
We see that idea forming in Alberta. It won’t last there, Albertans are too smart to follow their current accidental leader.
We see the results of those ideas in Cuba and now Venezuela. The East Europeans are trying recover from decades of it, but I don’t think they will make it before the Euro/Islamic wars begin. Russia came up for air only long enough try it again with some cash they are getting from selling their vast oils and gas to Europe and their weapons technology to the Middle East.
China is doing great crawling out their multi decade twirl in the vortex of the peoples republic.
And the list goes on.
There is so much evidence of what works and lifts the human spirit (and bottom line) that only mental defectives would miss it. Aahh … that would be the Left.

With Rogers new plan out for $10 and $40/mo., I wonder how this affects my lowest cost in Canada bundle of utilities supplied by my family of crown corporations?
OMG, I’m speaking Dipper speak!
What I should be saying is “sh*t or get off the pot SaskTel”. Like Shaw said last spring, “For 99 years, they’ve had their way with us, the consumer.” Time to show us if ya got the stones to COMPETE (Yes, a foreign word to the indoctrinated socialists of this province) without Lorne doing some sleight of hand tricks to give you an advantage (Max, Securtek, etc).

Heh.
A “great debate” between lefties, seeming to focus on “political philosophy”.
Funny. In all that belly-button gazing, the word “principle” never came up…
Problem obvious.

…without Lorne doing some sleight of hand tricks to give you an advantage (Max, Securtek, etc).
I work for one of the competing alarm companies. We bid against Sasktel/Securetek when the Saskatchewan Housing Authority decided to get out of the “personal alarms for seniors” business. Our company cut our regular monthly fee in half in order to try and secure the contract. Sasktel/Securetek bid many dollars less than our lowest possible bid and got the contract. The taxpayer has very deep pockets. Securetek will operate these units at a loss until we, the competition, starve to death and then they will raise the monthly amounts to reflect the real operating costs. The Crowns working for you!

These Rabble threads remind me of those climate monitoring thingies: you never know where they’re going to end up, but you feel like applauding the perverse logic that gets them there.
Even sensible, concrete suggestions vanish into a fog of vagueness:
Whiskey: Has anyone thought of Janice McKinnon?
Aristotleded24: If she became leader that could very well drive away many passionate activists who care about social justice.
Meaning- I guess- that she wouldn’t spend enough money or be caught dead in a Che Guevara t shirt.

You know, its amazing how very nearly… -sensible- the babblers are when they aren’t slagging a Conservative.
Gnote@9:45: “The current NDP is trapped in an irreconcilable position – claiming to be the party of selflessness while pandering to self-interest. It doesn’t compute”
One might almost mistake them for normal people. ~:D

I can’t understand what it is about Sask. that people are so “scared” of business?? I say why not privatize STC, if we can get just as good service, cheaper with say, GreyHound?? what is wrong with that?? Why not privatize Sask Power?? or Sask Tel..look at all the money we would save in Union pensions for one thing….those same people, if any good, would have no problem getting a job or better yet CREATE a job by starting your “own” business then we would see how fast they hire “union” people to do the work or discover it is cheaper to do it yourself so it is done right??? Why not privatize all we can as long it is well thought out and takes the Taxpayer into consideration..create your own jobs, be your own boss…it is really quite enjoyable …try it sometime

Sask.

70% chance Mr. Ed calls an election this coming week.

Please Kate, PLEASE! Warn us before sending us to that asylum called babble.ca! My IQ just dropped by half in order to read it . . .

So Grok, that puts you down to 150 now, right? You can afford it. ~:D Just think of it as an NDP tax program.

Poor Gnote over at rabble is trying so hard to forge some coherence of thought around his/her ever so clever “environmental scan”. I’m giving the kid a break because it’s got to be age related naivety. Over age 30, it’s just sheer stupidity.
“A public union strike. Instead of the government saying to itself ‘hey, we’re the labour-friendly party, we’ll do what the union wants’, they could perform something of an environmental scan. They could ask themselves, given current working conditions, economic conditions, salaries, etc, is a raise for this particular sector the number one priority for Saskatchewan? Or should we perhaps be dedicating those resources to…oh, I dunno…eliminating poverty?”
On the other hand, when the business lobby starts to cry about unfair taxation, instead of the government saying ‘hey, we’re the business-friendly government, we should probably cut their taxes’, they could perform a similar environmental scan, and ask whether a cut to business taxes is the number one priority, or if something else…say eliminating poverty…is a little higher up on the list.

Ah, poor Gnote. A tiny glimmer of intelligence drowned by an ocean of stupidity.
Like I said Penny, they only -seem- normal. In reality Mr./Ms. Gnote wouldn’t recognize a good idea if it jumped up and started chewing on his/her/transgender it’s nose.
Business taxes do not come out of the pockets of the owners and shareholders. Business taxes are a cost, like fuel and wages. Taxes come out of the hides of the employees in the form of lower pay.
In other news, water is wet.

What is wrong with Sask Tel that they have to phone “every day” to get my service back. Sorry – it will never happen. I told Sask Tel the other day for the hundredth time and hanging up on them more than that, to remove my name from their list. No such luck. They keep annoying us. How many more people are tormented by these calls every evening? How many times do we have to say “NO”. Hopefully after Nov. 7th this province will have a “New Look” and it won’t be “New ??”.

Just tell Sasktel when they call that you work for their competition and that will be the end of the annoying calls. It worked for me.

Mad Mike: “Funny. In all that belly-button gazing, the word “principle” never came up…”
A debate about “political philosophy” is a debate about principles.

I lived in Alberta last year and had to deal with TELUS. (There was no choice.) Frankly, TELUS really made me appreciate SaskTel. People in SK don’t realize how good they have it.

Exile, at least Telus did not reach into your pocket to bring in the Goreacle.
