” ‘Ee’s nailed to the bloody perch!”
How many RPM do you think he’s turning in there Kate? Fast enough to run a string of Christmas lights, or maybe half of Regina?
He is not resting – social engineers never rest.
Unfortunately, as the trolls here manage to unfailingly demonstrate, it will take more than a single election to put this zombie (I refer to socialism, not Douglas) down.
Even though the Sask party will legally form gov’t, there are many ardent socialists in postions of power in the sask civil service that put ideology ahead of service. The sask party will have a tough time putting down all these zombies as well.

I can’t beleive how biased the coverage on cbc was last night. Time to make those who want the cbc[include the CWB], pay for it and not force it on the rest of us.
Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough.
Not “resting” Kate..just “DORMANT” like a virus…or the 4th reich
Heh. Tasteless and unfailingly partisan, even in victory. Guess I should have expected nothing more high-minded from Kate and her minions than to trash a dead man. Comfortable in the gutter, as usual.
Anyway, congratulations to Brad Wall, his election team, and his supporters and voters. The SaskParty waged a great campaign, and they truly earned their victory.
I wish them good luck in government – they’re going to need it.
Can someone give me directions to that site – I need to have a pee.
Sorry, someone just told me how to get there – I just need to head down the road and take every left turn I come to.
Loved Brad Wall’s speech last night in Speedy Creek.
I think he was finally able to let loose with a few good shots at Calvert.
Just watching him, my wife and I felt better.
Just watch though……just after the new year Calvert is going to ask Wall why he has not fixed any roads and start telling everyone “we” made a mistake in electing Wall.
And all those blind left wing people will buy it.
We’ll see if the Sask Party will keep it’s promises. It will be interesting. I hope they don’t ruin our province. They can bask in the shadow of what the NDP accomlished which was a balanced economy..
Pery – if the NDP would leave him dead and buried, so would I. But they drag the old geezer’s resurrected (and revised) corpse through the streets every election in the hopes that old CCF votes will be attracted and stick to it.
So, Tommy will remain fair game so long as he’s up for re-election.
I would like to see you do a poll/survey of all the ex-pats who are considering coming home because of the election results.
Kate,
Rotating title: another small dead animal bites the dust
So the Party you supported has won. Now, don’t fall asleep with the attitude, “our guys are in let’s relax”. Power corrupts, and the citizens have to remain vigilant, to ensure the new government lives up to its promises.
One of the first things that usually occurs, when a conservative regime takes over from socialists, is a massive layoff of civil servants.
Make sure your government doesn’t do the layoffs the way ours did here in B.C., laying off from the ranks of the front line workers, while leaving the hugely bloated and much more costly, management sector untouched. We were left, in many ministries, with more managers than staff, and the services to the public suffered accordingly.
Privatization of services is also another can of worms, done properly, it can be a boon to taxpayers, but if done for the sake of payoffs to Party friends, can be disastrous, as we found here.
So, congratulations, Saskatchewan, you had the good sense to change a bad situation, but pay attention now, and keep your new government accountable.
Think of it as – resident evil!
Resting my a$$!
He’s been trying to unionize hell for ever!
Dmorris has it right. As hopeful as I want to be, I also recognize that there were a lot of similarities between the SP and NDP platforms. There will be no radical change, any change that comes might even be difficult to recognize. The big difference today is that change is possible now, instead of impossible, as it was under the NDP. We still have to make sure that changes take take place.
Also, I found out that Saskatoon Center, my riding, is pretty much the Fort Knox of the NDP vote. The door knockers were out for all the parties, and they all put their work in, and the NDP still took 50.7% of the vote. Forbes did come by though, and told me that he supported all his constituents (I had a Sask Party sign), so that was nice.
In spite of having a hand cuffs and a lead weight tied to our ass for the past 16 years Saskatchewan has done OK. Imagine the progress
without the drag of the likes of the NDP and people Ok4u. In relative terms our economy is going start making Alberta look cold(in part thanks to socialist Ed). Even the likes of Debbie-Downer-Ok4u is not going to slow this puppy down.
I left Saskatchewan in 1992, just after the NDP took over. I doubt that I’ll ever go back. I can’t say enough about the benefits of having been away from Saskatchewan politics for the last 15 years. Also, my wife and kids are Albertans. Anyway, this is a great day for Saskatchewan, and I am very hopeful that Mr. Wall sticks to his guns and shakes up the status quo that has stagnated the economy for so many years. Unfortunately, this will be good for Saskatchwan, but bad for his re-election prospects. Hopefully he’ll move on to become Prime Minister, or at least moves to Alberta to clean up all the damage that will then have been inflicted by our new shockingly inept “Special Ed” Stelmach.
Golden handcuffs. The Media decided this election not you small dead animals. We will wait and see if the SaskATory party can improve on a great NDP record.
PININ’ for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got ‘im home?
The Prairie Pinko prefers keepin’ on it’s back! Remarkable bird, id’nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
lol Some choice quotes from Babble: “Despite the close seat results, I get this sinking feeling that there’s a larger shift going on amongst the Saskatchewan public.
Here’s what I’m thinking. I’ve heard that a lot of young people in Saskatchewan are going and working in the Alberta tar sands, and making a respectable ammount of money doing it. Then they’re coming back to Saskatchewan and pumping all this new money into the economy. And they’re likely voting for the saskatchewan party because they think it will create the kind of economic boom that happened in Alberta. Even though to an extent the boom is already happening because of this Alberta money.”
Paraphrased: The NDP lost because Saskatchewan’s children have been exposed to the evil capitalists to the west.
And then there’s the obligitory “fire and brimstone” post: “And so ends sixteen years of balanced budgets and responsible government in the province of Sasaktchewan. The Crowns are gone, that goes without saying. So is the Senior’s Drug Benefit. Social Assistance rates will plummet and child hunger will rise. First Nations people will suffer. Racism will skyrocket. The prisons will be filled to overflowing. We are descending into a dark age. It’s like a cross between Blade Runner and the Book of Revelations. Man, it’s gonna suck.”

OK4UA: You do not have to wait to see if the Sask. Party will improve on the dismal socialist record. Its hard to imagine longer wait times, worse roads,dwindling population, etc, etc.Things couldn’t get any worse!!
Well, o’course it was nailed there! If I hadn’t nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent ’em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
I would like to see you do a poll/survey of all the ex-pats who are considering coming home because of the election results.
If, in a year or two, things have improved in SK, I’d consider moving back.
Emasculated cats are better than rodents. It’s the right direction. Keep up the trend for twenty years and free enterprise may have some confidence in ther place.
Hey Perry: If the Dips are “tasteless” enough to dig up Tommy’s corpse to parade around at elections to get the “gutter vote” then he’s a free fire political target.
Lick your wounds, park your wheatfield commie vindictiveness and go back to the socialist ghetto to plot the next election strategy…and if you parade Tommy’s moldering old social darwinist corpse again next time expect his tax slave victims to shoot at it again.
It’s difficult to get any coverage of Canadian provincial elections here. What were the results? Do they have any direct significance at the national level? I can use both some information and some education; the commenters here have been quite gracious in providing both in the past.
Well dmoris I had the misfortune of driving over the Coquihalla Highway New Years eve during that transition period you were talking about. From Hope to the Toll Plaza was being maintained by unionized “workers”. From the Plaza to Merritt was maintained by a contractor. From Hope to the Plaza I was plowing through 8″ of snow and barely made it. At the Toll Plaza the change was so astounding I thought I had died and been transported to Disneyland. Everything was plowed including wide spots to litter bins etc.
If the unionized workers weren’t so lazy they could get a real job with the contractors.
Hope versus fear. Let’s hope that socialism throughout Canada will be so badly crushed in the coming years that the whole rotten ideology will be buried six feet under with Tommy.
Here’s to you Saskatchewan.
Cheers to the SaskParty and the crushing of socialist NDP. May they never EVER be in power again.
I truly believe that prosperity will come to pass in such a way that the NDP will be in the wilderness for a great many years. The younger generation (Gen x and y, of which I am the former) have zero use for the NDP. You cannot imagine how wonderful it was to wake up to a government that is not the NDP and realize that we have at least four years of it being that way.
ZOMBIE Tommy!!!!!
Shoot him in the head!
Wait times will not change. That’s a pipe dream. There is no way any gov’t will not fill the nursing shortage. And it could be a lot worse.
We may have one more seat than reported – SaskVotes is reporting that there was a count error in Meadow Lake – NDP showed as winning with a margin of 111 votes, but the error has reversed that to a SP win by 17 votes. 120 absentee and hospital ballots yet to count which will not be done until November 19th.
Wow! A Maple Leaf engraverd in the monument! I would have expected a “hammer and scythe” at best. Or at least, two mice running away from a cat! Or was that a wolf? Rest in peace Tommy!
To Neil: Does it take 11 days to count 120 votes? Lets see now. Every NDP has 10 fingers. Ten times eleven, click click click..Hey, they’ll still be short 10 votes!!
…..a great NDP record. Ok4u, are you nuts? Correction, How nuts are you??? The ongoing disaster called Saskatchewan finally has Hope. For the time being it will remain best viewed thru the rear view mirror.
(Memo to self; I must get those wheels aligned again.)
Regarding Tommy, May he rest in peese!
The socialists aren’t done yet. Plenty of life in that leprous body politic. There is enough socialism light in the Sask Party platform to make everyone here take a step back and realize how long it will take to undo the damage.
I’ve had conversations with people and they are convinced that the Sask Party will sell everything and that capitalism is bad. All the proponents of the free market and less intrusive government have left, folks. It’s a handful, a mere handful, who actually want the system to reform.
Don’t forget that theoretically, it’s the NDP who count the votes! They still are the official government until the new SP is sworn in. So I guess that in Meadow Lake, some of them will have to take their shoes off.
Just a few questions. Does Lorne hang around? Does he want to? Will he resign or will there be a dump the leader movement? If he goes, who’s next?
Brian:
The question for the Dippers isn’t “will Calvert hang around”; it’s “is there anyone to replace him?”
*crickets*
Where is OK4Ua when you want him!
I just hope that the likes of Kate and John Gormley hold the Sask Party to the same standards they have the NDP. If they don’t, we know what their real ideology is – we don’t care what our guys do, we just want to be in power.
