An Army Of Lornes
A reader sends this along this morning;
The Sask Federation of Labour is on the U of S campus today handing out [the same info] that is on their commercial. They have a table in the Arts tunnel along with numerous people handing out pamphlets all over campus. [...]The flag is a SGEU flag but all of the propoganda is SFL (We have a choice.... Which Saskatchewan will YOU vote for?) The other tables are unrelated (the one pic has red posters with a student there: unrelated). These pics were with a camera phone in the dark tunnel with fluorescent lights.... sorry about the quality.
Note: The info in the pamphlet is totally unrelated to the CUPE walk-out today on campus.

There was a Union leader talking at the CUPE rally who was slamming the NDP drug plan.
They weren't pro Sask Party, but it sure goes a long way to explaining why the NDP vote is near their floor level. I wouldn't be surprised if some union-types stayed home or voted liberal.

Posted by: Lore_Weaver at October 30, 2007 2:49 PMCUPE SASK must be crapping its pants as the realization that the taxpayer funded gravy train is pulling into the reality station starts to hit home.
Posted by: Fred at October 30, 2007 3:12 PMFederal NDP president Anne McGrath was a candidate for the Communist Party in Edmonton in 1984.
So, I'd like to hear saskboy explain how there's a difference in final goals between communism and Fabian socialism.
Unions are greedy. If they think the NDP were hard to deal with wait if the SaskaTories get in.

That's the first sensible comment I've ever seen from you!
Oh, and it's not if, it's when.
And kiss your NDP goodbye for a long time.
Posted by: clair voyant at October 30, 2007 4:33 PMOne of the NDP's little secrets is that the only way that the PA pulp mill will operate again is if there is RIGHT TO WORK legislation for the mill.

Posted by: cal2 at October 30, 2007 8:46 PMOn the night of the election i will be going to wherever Calvert gives his defeat speach. I plan on telling Calvert in not so many words that the people of Sask. have spoken and FU.
Posted by: dj at October 30, 2007 11:35 PMThe unions will survive whoever gets elected. They always do.

setyoufree: "So, I'd like to hear saskboy explain how there's a difference in final goals between communism and Fabian socialism."
Social democratic parties, of which the ndp is one, generally favour some degree of public ownership and government intervention in the economy in order to soften some of the harsher edges of capitalism. Communist parties want to get rid of capitalism. That's a major difference.
