Sask Election Market

Gopher News 36 Comments

This is so sad.

Not even an offer of “free money” is enough to get his supporters to bet on Calvert.
Look out your windows NDP’rs… those aren’t raindrops. Those are Tommy’s tears, falling down from heaven.

  1. Those tears will fertilize the province of Sask when Tommy’s rep. here with the living packs his shredded files and drifts off to Manitoba or Ont. Filed under dirt, Sask. history will remember Forlorn in the same folder as the Dirty Thirties.

  2. I think the people of Saskatchewan smell the possibility of become Alberta II and they like the idea of getting brand new shiny truck to go to work in the oil industry.
    Beats that Lada that would be what Calvert will get you into if you keep him in power long enough.

  5. Addendum
    And then we won’t have to put up with the Sask kamikazi drivers and their flight capital heading to the big ciddy of Edmonton.
    Heh.

  6. I don’t think Tommy’s tears can come from Heaven. There’s another option, though. Plenty of tears there.

  7. Maybe those aren’t Tommy’s tears but rather a fire hose turned on to cool him down in his overly warm current place of residence.
    After all, conservatives aren’t vindictive.

  9. We just got back from the Advance poll a little while ago in MJ Wakamow and we waited in line for over an hour to vote. The NDP “taxicabs” were working overtime hauling them in. I don’t know how it is in other areas but here the NDP is excellent at getting their vote out any way they can. I sure hope the Sask Party gets their vote out and doesn’t take a win for granted or they may be unpleasantly surprised on Nov. 7.

  10. I still say the right wing vote will split and the NDP will win a small majority with 33% of the vote (The Hard Core Union Vote). I’ve seen it happen too many times in the past……
    I hope I’m wrong, but Calverts scare tactics will go into high gear in this last week. Comments that Family day is gone, 2 weeks vacation instead of 3, You’ll lose your union job at the U of S if the Saskparty gets in will scare people into do what they always have done in this province and that is vote NDP. The NDP are experts at scare tactics…..
    I Hope I’m wrong…….

  11. It’s been said on this blog before but I’ll say it again…..you folks in Saskatchewan who support the Sak Party just have to get off your collective butts over the next 4-5 days and make sure the free enterprise vote gets out…..if you feel you are close to victory get out and make sure it happens.
    As others have said, the NDP are now going to turn up the fear and smear to a shrieking point over the next 4-5 days and you can’t let happen again, what happend in 2003.
    If you care at all for Saskatchewan get out there and FIGHT FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!

  12. What I find sadder, Kate, is that you actually treat this ridiculous game as an accurate indicator of political party support amongst the Saskatchewan populace when its showing “The Green Party” as the overall leader. LMAO.

  15. When is a deficit not a deficit?
    When the NDP are involved.
    Murray Mandryk, political columnist with the Saskatchewan News Network
    The numbers that really matter are the $8.35 billion in spending, the $7.87 billion in revenue, the $701 million 2007-08 deficit once all government operations including the Crowns are calculated, and the increase in Saskatchewan’s debt to $11.4 billion.
    These are the numbers that apply to the real world of whether we can afford this budget.
    Sadly, the numbers in the brave new world of Thomsonomics, where you can increase spending by nine per cent when revenues are only increasing by 1.8 per cent and still claim a surplus, are a bit scary. In fact, it’s hard to see anything particularly good emerge from the numbers presented by the New Democratic finance minister.

    This election is far from being in the bag, the ndp are great campaigners and will fight like cornered rats to hang onto power. They have a huge organization for getting out the vote. Their door knockers lie and scare little old ladies with all sorts of horror stories.
    Phone your friends and family and impress on them how this is the most important election in Saskatchewan history. Then phone them again on election day to remind them to vote.

  17. Jerry – I agree with Louise. Take a pill and lie down. If that doesn’t work, go to your doctor – oh, I forgot, you probably don’t have access to one. OK, call a nurse. Ya, right, you don’t have one of those either. Tell you what – go to Alberta and summon the help of a doctor or nurse that used to be in Saskatchewan. There… feel better now?

  18. How can we screw up this province? Balanced budgets,good bond rating,high employment,booming economy I just don’t feel right. We need a Tory gov’t to break us. We’re too successful. Let’s spend like Alberta and it spends billions. Elect Brad Wall he’s honest!!! Bullshit!!!

  19. Hey Jerry, I don’t think you can feel better than I do now while I buy Sask party stocks cheap and cash in on November 7th! Thanks for playing the free market comrade!

  20. ok4ua – I am noticing that as the election gets closer and closer that your comments are getting more and more frantic-like and desperate and almost like you’re going to go over the edge and all that. I need to know that you’re OK – that you have some support there for yourself so that you don’t go absolutely screaming mad!!!!! when Lorne and the gang are relegated to the trash heap of Saskatchewan political history! Hope you are safe.

  22. Ah Riley, before you get too excited you may want to fix your logo. It says “Canadian Alliance of Canada”, heh…and even if you’re going for Conservative Alliance of Canada, keep in mind of what the acronym sounds like.

  23. Hey ok4ua, no worries. The Sask party will get in this time around, which I grant you does suck, but after ruling for 16 years you gotta give these guys a break from the perpetually throbbing vein in their foreheads. Lol. They’ll probably hold onto power for one term…maybe two, but then we’ll be back to another 16 years or so of the good stuff. The NDP is, after all, the natural governing party of the province.

  24. “The NDP is, after all, the natural governing party of the province.”
    I’m sure the Alberta Socreds said the same thing.

  25. ok4ua, how can the NDP screw up this province? well lets see. longest hospital waiting lists in Canada, highest crime rate in Canada, people still leaving by the car full, massive nursing shortage, highways in a shit state, high education taxes, infrastructure crumbling, massive unemployment in the north( even though the NDP says at every election the north has such potential)B.S., drunk driving convictions that lead the country (even though the unionized liquor stores promote the responsible use of alcohol) B.S.,soft on crime policy, and finally ASSHOLES like you sucking on the public tit for a lifetime with no real reason for their employment.
    see you at the rally where Calvert gives his election defeat speach. i’ll be the guy heckling him

  27. Kate,
    Somebody has been playing games with your Sask Election Market. Look at the current readings (Green Party in the lead position) and when I clicked on a link I got an image of a backhoe and advice that if I didn,t find the site I was looking for to keep digging.

  28. “Looks like the Greens hijacked the old election market.”
    No problem. I suspect that savvy buyers will buy up … it looks everything is a bargain except the greens.
    This is just an experiment to see if as a collective of individuals we are “smart” … any group or collective of individuals can prove we are not.
    We are up to 62 active traders in this market.
    Some might see it as a victory (of sort) to prove we are, as as collection of individuals, stupid. What the actual results will show who the stupid ones are.
    With the play money you made be sure to bet on my Grey Cup markets … it currently looks BC is going to clean up (they are) … the only thing to decide is who in the East is going to lose to them. I’m sure most of the RR fans will agree that they lost to a better team.

  31. I don’t think I could feel better than I do right now, Louise. 😉
    ==================
    My condolences, then. Someday they may discover a cure, but in the meantime I hope you aren’t suffering too much.

  34. Whew! Thank God this the NDP called the election and the campaign is almost over. The hardcore socialists are getting more rude and insulting by the day. Funny rules in Sask, nope “all you employees, boards, etc, you have to be quiet, no comments, cancel your meetings, nada till after the election”, on the other hand, “why yes you union folks can comment, advertise, bring in outsiders, BTW, want to attend a couple staged and purpose built meetings to get media coverage?”, oh, and gov’t agencies and other “independent units of CIC” can of course continue to advertise. Your tax dollars at work. This is what passes for transparency under Lorne & Crew?? if it wasn’t so blatant, and it should and may well be illegal!! Free speech eh!! No thanks, enough already.
    Truly interesting times where the discussion of the NDP government (and thier entitled cronies beneficiaries) policies, actions, lies, and plain incompetence lead to attack, name calling, and slander. Good thing its near done.
    Sad part is, many hard working, honest, salt of the earth individuals live there. OK is right, it’s never over till it’s over, and therefore to everyone who is sick and tired of the paternalist, tax and spend, talk down to, rationing/lies of and about health care, entitlement driven, interfering with individual rights and self determination, etc, etc., it’s time to do something about it. Calvert cares/Calvert delivers, ya right. Nice to see discolure by someone of this administrations real record on promises.
    “READ AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD, FREEDOM, HONESTY, AND FULFIL THE PROMISE OF A GREAT PROVINCE”.
    GET OUT AND VOTE, MAKE SURE EVERYONE WHO HAS AN INTEREST IN CHANGE DOES!!
    This is the chance, grab ahold of it, and move forward. It is long past due.

  35. These pre-polls are like horse-racing vegas odds and it’s my opinion that they should be illegal,
    one election – one day,
    no more voting strategically but from your actual heart and mind. Too many people can be herded along and scared into thinking Party A could win –
    Irrespective of party allegiances or sympathies I find pre-polling to be a psychic assault on the population and massive interference – pure propaganda.
    As accurate or self-fulfilling as these polls can claim to be, the fact of the matter is that it doesn’t matter what CBC CTV or SDA asks or wants you to believe, there’s one day and one election.
    The game needs to be played out, wrestlers and hockey teams can trash talk each other until the end of time or bicker about who looks better on paper – but as a player, like yourselves, I don’t want to know the prognostication, for better or worse.
    It’s just needless hands-in on the democratic process, you don’t know what’s going to happen any more than anyone else does with the difference being that AS the media who quote WAS
    “forced
    to listen while media
    and politicians alike
    have told me
    “what Canadians think”.
    you influence it to your own ends and criticize yr government for doing the same thing.
    The people’ll get the government they deserve.
