With the population of Saskatchewan dropping daily - and below a million souls - amounts like $445,000 get increasingly personal:

50¢ a head.

Even higher if you just divide by actual provincial taxpayers!

What an intersting picture. Here's Thompson posing like someone gave him the boot(s). I know that I can't wait to give the boot to the whole damn lot of these nincompoops.

The budget reminds me of a life long sinner getting religion on his death bed. Too little too late.

Well after 13 years the ndp is going to get down to work! they have the boots. next year will come the hard hat, just put us in and we'll fix everything. If it moves regulate it if it doesn't move, buy it.
I can't begin to dicribe the frustration I feel about how this province runs.

are they for digging 'taters or digging up spudco??

Hmmmmmm degenerate socialists robbing the public purse for partisan propagandizing....how uncommon ;-)

Nice Boots!

For an entitled comie!
Now put them on and get out there and fill the potholes.

"Everyone else,...You're fired!"

Can anybody from saskatchewan tell me if the gov't is getting back into uranium mining.

I don't if the government is but they've opened another mine. The ore is processed @ Key Lake.

I don't know if the NDP are going to intensify urannium mining, they are too busy at figuring out new ways to mine uranus.

This is the same guy, Andrew Thomson, who once called Preston Manning's Reformers "brown shirts"... Remember that?

Apparently he would shout "heil Hitler" each time a SaskParty member rose to speak in the Leg.

Classic government move, buy something and use it once. (odds he wears them to work again?)

JJM....In 2005 Sask. taxpayers shelled out 600 million to farmers. Do the math. In that context, $445,000 is hardly worth mentioning.

Put Thomson in the boots, a work shirt, hardhat and a pair of shades and he will look like the construction worker from the Village People. Thats not the only similarity amoungst them, wait until the next election to see what else is the same.

I have seen these some of this propaganda on TV already, and you can tell Leisure Suit Lorne is grooming this clown. This whole leadup to the 2007 election will be one big whitewash of the last 4 terms of these pinkos! All of a sudden they are "business friendly" and looking for growth. This is a snow job to get back in 2007 and then drop the hammer on us poor slobs again, because they will lie cheat and fool thier way back in. Brutal!

BDT, I really hope 'what else is the same' comes out. It would destroy the SaskParty if they were behind that.

Dear Todd:

I doubt if any political party is behind anything to do with it. I think it is likely just a simple fact.

Not that there is anything wrong with that!

But I am sure my grandma who is almost brainwashed by the NDP won't approve or vote for him because of it.

And I'm sure most people in the urban areas, should this be trotted out in anything that can be faintly traced to the SaskParty or their supporters, will vote NDP. I guess we'll have to see.

So when the election arrives, bring out your village people stereotypes and let's go to war.

War Todd ??? Whats up with you. You strike me as a leftist/pacifist from all your postings but now you want a WAR ??

Did I hit a nerve ?

I am sure you will see what happens.!

By the way Todd, just to ensure that we are talking about the same thing, what exactly are you assuming that I am posting about ???

Their love for kitschy songs of course.

You brought it up BDT. Don't try to hide your bigotry at this late point.

It isn't bigotry to ridicule the Village People. It's a sign of good taste in music.

On that one slim point, I'd agree with you.

What about the War Todd??

What about it? It's still going on in Iraq, isn't it?

Is your memory that short Todd old boy?

You just a few posts ago said and I quote,

" So when the election arrives, bring out your village people stereotypes and let's go to war."

Please stay on topic.
What did you mean by that statement.

I meant of course watching the Village People's cowboy and the Village People's indian's traditional fight against each other. So bring it on.

(Sometimes I love an overly earnest reader).

Obviously discussions with Todd go the same place as any discussion with a most typical left leaning ideologue.

Todd can not defend his position or his comments and he can not see the person in front of him for what he is or stands for.

Here we have Mr. Andrew Thomson a person whom Todd obviously idolizes for reasons unknown, until the next election of course.

An Andrew Thomson who would rather spend a half a million bucks advertising his budget than say, helping cancer victims with drug costs. Hmmm.

We have a government which contained at the time a Mr. Andrew Thomson which prior to the last election blew millions of public money on "the future is wide open" as a propaganda piece, while hundreds of young people fled the place... as the future is so bright.

I think Groucho Marx had it just a little bit wrong. It appears that politics does make very strange bedfellows. Indeed!

I don't 'idolize' Andrew Thomson by any means. I won't be voting for him for the NDP party. I also don't agree with the government wasting money on advertising the budget.

What else... I don't support crown corporations such as SaskTel, SaskPower and the liquor stores. I think they should be privatized.

I do support lowering business taxes, I don't support running a defecit.

I do support general decency and I don't support bigotry.

Todd, do you not know how fast I can find out if you hold a membership card in the provincial NDP ? You are a liar on all counts in your last post. Plain and simple.

I do own a NDP membership card. That's not a secret. I meant I will not be voting for Andrew Thomsson should he run for leadership of the provincial NDP.
