It's hard to think of something that could top the trashed offices in the Saskatchewan Legislature left behind by a departing NDP administration - unless it was the stuffed wolf/coyote that incoming Premier Brad Wall found waiting to greet him.
Let that sink in for a moment, while I try to find photos.

Posted by: Reid at November 23, 2007 10:12 AMAre you suggesting the Morally superior Dips had a helpless animal killed and stuffed just to make a political point?
Say it ain't so Katey! :D
Posted by: WL Mackenzie Redux at November 23, 2007 10:14 AMWell they trashed the rest of the province and its infrastructure, so what do you expect from a bunch of mealy mouthed, braindead know nothings?
Posted by: Pissedoff at November 23, 2007 10:16 AMI find this completely disgusting, but not surprising coming from the NDP with Lorne Calvert as Leader. I guess the culture of entitlement has spread West. Just another incident telling the people of Saskatchewan they voted correct and now I feel ashamed the NDP and it's extremist radical core represented this great province at one time.
I'm sure this is the tip of the iceberg of things to be found from the past NDP.
Socialists are both lousy losers and just plain losers.
I'm sure Sask. will thrive without 'em.
Posted by: Mike in White Rock at November 23, 2007 10:38 AMPissedoff--
When the Progressive Conservatives trashed the province and its infrastructure, the public overwhelmingly brought the NDP back into power to clean up their mess. Once the mealy mouthed, braindead, know nothings you speak of have sufficiently wrecked things again for Saskatchewan's people, the voters will once more bring back the NDP to straighten things out.

Posted by: Sean S. at November 23, 2007 11:05 AMHi Tex. Nice to see you too.
Posted by: Wolfman Brad at November 23, 2007 11:07 AMBrad should have added "how do you know they didn't leave the offices in their normal working state, just like the left the province?"
Posted by: Justthinkin at November 23, 2007 11:12 AMThis says so much about the NDP.......
Where is Calvert? He could show some leadership here.....wait, that's why he is gone.
Have to say though......when "W" came into office and the w's were gone from every keyboard in the Whitehouse, I think it was safe to say both parties had a good LOL.
This trashing of offices? Pure crap.
Posted by: jeff.k at November 23, 2007 11:31 AMJust remember, the bureaucrats are left behind to sabotage the Conservatives' efforts until the NDP come back. You pay their salaries and benefits, as well as their big fat pensions, and they will do their duty to the waiting powers to be to make any change to the status-quo difficult for the current government. Wall should clean house as a first item on his "to do" list, before making any legislative changes that these petulent "public servants" don't feel are in the best NDP tradition.
Posted by: jt at November 23, 2007 11:53 AMFrom the picture at the Leader-Post, it appears that the "wolf" is simply a trophy, and wouldn't be out of place (no more than a totem pole or a mural of aboriginal life in the BC legislature), but if the NDP is truly trashing offices, they should be thumped big time for it and made to pay for any damage.
Posted by: SDC at November 23, 2007 12:10 PM"It's hard to think of something that could top the trashed offices in the Saskatchewan Legislature left behind by a departing NDP administration "
There is NO link to this because this is a fabrication. If there is any truth to it .... let's see it? A lie!
Posted by: leftdog at November 23, 2007 12:14 PMmaybe it wasnt a coyote or a wolf
http://www.cbc.ca/cp/Oddities/071122/K112217AU.html
Strange how the office trashing never made it to the news? It's seems it's in neither the Regina Leader Post or the Saskatoon Star Phoenix.
Why is that?
It seems, most logically and likely, Kate is copying the Bushco attack on the Clintons in 2001. Nothing happened, but is made for good copy.
Of course, Kate and company here will obviously blame the mythical "Liberal Media Bias" for covering up the story.
As for the stuffed coyote crack...WTF? All I saw were pictures of Wall POSING WITH IT? And Kate makes it sound SINISTER? Was the coyote missing its head? Did it have pins poked into it?
No, it didn't.. As seen on this page...http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/story.html?id=67a5ea80-b1db-48d2-9089-2117f06a97a5&k=8191
it's no more than a run-of-the-mill stuffed animal...a trophy.
-----
It seems the conservative's are setting up their excuses already...NDP operatives indeed?
Nothing like a little good-ole-fashioned PC whining.
Hilarious, its not a wolf its actually a coyote! So much for the Big Brad Wolf insinuation. Maybe the Saskparty should nickname their new trophy "Calvert the Mangey Coyote" or vise versa ;)

Posted by: manny at November 23, 2007 1:04 PMSo here is the challenge Kate .... give a source for your claim about trashed offices - or acknowledge that you pander in fabrication!
P.S.(Kate will NOT respond with a source because there is no source and NO truth to her claim).
Posted by: leftdog at November 23, 2007 1:06 PM"Hey, as long you're all wearing red today, guess it all balances out, eh?"
Actually, you must have missed the memo Ringo; it's Green Day today. Go Riders!
Posted by: L'il Walter at November 23, 2007 1:07 PMFor all you good little "useful idiots" here (brad leftdog etc), there is one BIG difference. If the post proves false, Kate will make an apology,something I'm sure you never wrong leftards will find amusing.
Posted by: Justthinkin at November 23, 2007 1:11 PMThe post IS false because there is no source AND Kate will NOT apologize ...
Posted by: leftdog at November 23, 2007 1:17 PMThe story was reported by Wayne Mantyka on CTV news a few days ago and followed up by Gormley on air yesterday. Note to the leftist twits who think that if it doesn't exist on the net, it didn't happen - provincial news doesn't always make it to the interweb.
The damage was such that walls had to be repainted and carpets replaced.
I know people contracted to clean the Leg after the election, and there was no evidence of damage to the offices. The hiring of professional cleaners is standard practice when governments change. They said there was nothing out of the ordinary.
I haven't seen a shred of news about this in any newspapers or on TV. If there's any proof out there, I'd like to see it tabled. Anything other will just enforce the idea that Katie is nothing more than a petty liar. Based on her comment about Brad Wall being the best public speaker in Saskatchewan, this is the popular perception anyway.
Justthinkin, I reiterate that this is the worst misnomer ever.
Posted by: Wolfman Brad at November 23, 2007 1:34 PMleftdogs leftist logic:
"It never happened because there are no sources! GOOGLE IT!!"
For one, the wolf/coyote statue was merely a joke. A joke the dipshits take serious because they view Mr. Wall as a wolf/coyote (they can't tell the difference obviously). What socialist wouldn't hate on a guy that has common sense and promotes business/employment?
Two, the offices weren't trashed. Trashed is a strong word, 'left a disgusting' mess would suite better. It's too bad the SP or LP didn't have time to write about pizza stains in the carpet. Go figure why there is no source mr. lefthead.
I have come to the conclusion the building was a mess before the Sask Party won the election??!
These are just political games, SHEEP! play along if you like.

I'm not sure if this is what Kate was referring to but I'm sure she'll source her comments.
Posted by: Sheldon Kotyk at November 23, 2007 1:53 PMOh yeah, Gormley, an unimpeachable source, no partisan agenda there.
"Note to the leftist twits who think that if it doesn't exist on the net, it didn't happen - provincial news doesn't always make it to the interweb."
But you'd think it would merit mention on NEWS TALK 980, Gormley's employer.

Or possibly...The Sask. party decided to do some renovating...and decided to cover up the cost by blaming mythical NDP vandalism.
But what can one expect from Conservatives...
Posted by: Murray Rennie at November 23, 2007 2:25 PM"The Sask. party decided to do some renovating...and decided to cover up the cost by blaming mythical NDP vandalism."
Unless you have a source for that, Mr Rennie, you'd better be ready to apologize.
What's your Source, Ms. Kate, for your so-called allegations?
It seems the conservatives can dish it out, but not take it.
Typical, of course...
And Kate...why did you cut the "Or possibly..." off the line...hmmm? Speculation does not need to be sourced....but you already know that, don't you?
Posted by: Murray Rennie at November 23, 2007 2:34 PMDon't worry, I'm sure within in the next few hours, Kate will throw up a few other meaningless posts to bury this one - just like those evil MSM editors do when they're trying to spin the news.
Funny how, given her influence within the conservative movement, she spends her time on spreading gossip like this, when she could be using her reach to comment on the Harper government's cutting soldiers' bonuses.
But nope...just more of the same partisan hackery, whenever she gets the opportunity.
Earth to Kate McMillan: the NDP lost. Maybe move on to real stories with real facts that affect real people.
Posted by: JohnnyRingo at November 23, 2007 2:38 PMI would like to give Kate the benefit of a doubt,however partisan accusations specific as these should not be offered without some proof of their existence.
I come to sites such as this to try and counterbalance the leftist bias of reporting such as the CBC regularly does.I have voiced my opinion many times on their blatant and consistent anti-right spinning.
I would be nothing short of a hypocrite then to expect any less integrity of this site,as it was apparently born out of a frustration with dishonesty and spinning of others.
Posted by: teddy at November 23, 2007 2:41 PMYo Teddy - what part of "it was reported by CTV news" and on John Gormley Live did you miss?
And as far as beating a dead, defeated party - give me the 25 years the NDP extracted from Grant Devine, and we'll call it even.
"Sure, he just got turfed but he’s also still respected in the province.”
Now that his work is done in the Saskatchewan election:
“Federal NDP Leader Jack Layton would love to have a top calibre candidate like Calvert running for his party.…Calvert can be the NDP's saviour — the federal NDP that is"
One can hope!

what part of "it was reported by CTV news" and on John Gormley Live did you miss?
--------------------
So? Where are the links? Things like this tend to get on the intertubes eventually?
Or is this Conservative laziness and inaction?
-----------------------
From the link: http://tinyurl.com/33jtey there's this...
"The NDP accused the Saskatchewan Party of switching one of the stickers, sending MLA Pat Atkinson to the lower level. The Saskatchewan Party countered by accusing the NDP of smearing jam on an office rug, forcing its replacement. The NDP claimed the Saskatchewan Party ordered new carpets and was trying to blame the expense on the outgoing government. "
Seems like I'm not the only one speculating that The Sask. Party is covering up for renovating expenses.
Ahh sweet and innocent lefties, Calvert and his crew could do no wrong in your eyes.
Life must be so depressing nowadays for a leftie.
I really do giggle when I think of how many chicken littles are running around in their little NDP orange houses fretting over the end of the world.
I can't wait to get on with some progress in this province and leave these morons behind in the dust, wondering where their government paycheques went while the people who aren't afraid of REAL WORK finally start to get a fair shake.
And in regards to the trashing of any offices in the Leg... well would we expect any less?
Posted by: IEatLeftards4Breakfast at November 23, 2007 2:57 PMgive me the 25 years the NDP extracted from Grant Devine, and we'll call it even.
Devine left 25 years of material to extract, and then some. The NDP left $2 billion. (AND a carpet stain) That's the difference.
Posted by: manny at November 23, 2007 3:03 PMBut Manny, the NDP left wing. They're SOCIALISTS. They can't do anything RIGHT.

Posted by: Liz J at November 23, 2007 3:14 PMso accusations of jam on the carpet = trashed offices?
slow day in the echo chamber I see.
Posted by: Sean S. at November 23, 2007 3:17 PMWhat I heard was Gormley say that according to an e-mail he had received from a person involved in cleaning at the leg, there was food or sauce smeared on the walls of an office, and food dumped on the floor. He asked for confirmation and also for which office it was so that the appropriate staffers could be interviewed. He said that if it had happened, it was pretty juvenile behaviour, and that someone should be held accountable.
Brad Wall himself told of the wolf/coyote left behind for him and was laughing about it.

This is no more proof that it DIDN'T happen, than the e-mail Gormley allegedly got is proof that it did. Oh, and does this imply that the regular SGEU cleaning staff employed for the Leg. are amateurs?
I would say that trashed is likely too strong a term, but the general disrespect shown by making a mess and leaving it would speak volumes about those who made/left the mess for cleaning staff to deal with.

Posted by: Fred at November 23, 2007 3:18 PMKate - I thought you demanded better reporting, sourcing and fact-checking from the MSM.
So why are you playing their spin game? Why can't you back up your claims with some proof? Don't reporters often go on air or in print with the whole "We have a source who says..." or "Word has reached us that..." or "People are suggesting that..." without ever giving readers and viewers the whole unvarnished truth?
Did you willingly publish false and misleading news to further your own political interests here? Looks like you're in the same league as the evil leftish MSM.
Give us the proof that the NDP trashed the offices, or withdraw your accusations and baseless smears.

if i were premier wall i'd have that coyote/wolf checked for electronic bugs. LOL
Posted by: spike at November 23, 2007 4:01 PMEver think that a liberal employee in DND started this, with an attempt to embarass PMSH. Bet it never happens, and the idiot that tried to make a scandal out of this was paid by KS.
Every wonder how the liberals are getting so much inside information, seem to know what is in correspondence and from who, leaked reports etc.
The liberals have sunk to a new low in spying.
Clean house of all civil servants who ever worked for a liberal. The fact codere is supporting anythig doing with our troops should be a red flag to us all.
You may recall Mr. Rennie, that Premier Stelmach was chosen as the leader of the PC party in Alberta by anyone that had a PC party membership in their pocket. Many of your marxist brothers here in Alberta bought these memberships to prevent Ted Morton from becoming the leader. That must have caused them a great deal of anguish, seeing their money go to Conservative coffers. Anyway, don't worry your little head about our commitment to Conservative values here in Alberta. We will straighten Eddie out in due time. Much like the good folks of Saskatchewan did to your boy Lorne.

More likely Alberta is finally seeing the emptiness of one party conservative rule, and is moving to join the real world.
Now, give Saskatchewan 4 years with Wall, and Saskatchewan will willingly rejoin the real world.
The CBC aired a military analyst that said "After the wage increase was implemented it was time to remove the archaic system of city specific payments."
Experts say its time to go but the military hating left like you all of a sudden cares and wants to make it an issue where this is none. Yeah Right.
Thats why no one responds because its a red herring and everybody no knows it.

Murray, you are right in one way. The NDP socialists-cum-communists can't do anything right. Actually, I take that back. They are VERY good at discouraging entrepreneurs.
And as for your tired CM Burns quote, okay, how about releasing the hounds about the brutal state of Saskatchewan roads left by the left. Last time I drove through there it was embarrassing, and I'm not even a resident of SK.
And thanks for the ad hominem attacks. They REALLY add to your credibility.
Posted by: Johann at November 23, 2007 4:24 PMRennie in 4 years this province will vote for the "real world" again, just as it did this November. And hopefully by that time Wall and Co. will have made 'union-backed over-paid and under-worked civil servants suckling off the public teat' a thing of the past.
Posted by: Norseman at November 23, 2007 4:27 PMActually Mr. Rennie, anyone to the left of Ronald Reagan. The Marxist intrusion was well reported so I'm confident you can look it up if you wish. Those that know Alberta politics are aware that when we change horses it is a wholesale sweep. It has never been a move to the left. We are more adult in that regard I guess.
Posted by: Bazoo at November 23, 2007 4:27 PMSo Johann
you can't even differentiate Socialists and Communists.
By your metaphor, conservatives are Nazis.
Deal with it.
As for the roads...who messed up the paving the first place? Not the NDP.
You can blame Devine for that.
Not that Kate and her sheeple will accept that...
All these pictures should be put on the internet for all to see and to PREVENT EVER the re-election of the NDP in Saskatchewan.
Posted by: real conservative at November 23, 2007 4:36 PMCorrect me if I am wrong but weren't the NDP in power for 16 years? Quick where's the time machine when you need it, we need to travel back in time and tell the PC's that they are going to have to prepeare Saskatchewan's highways for 16 years of NDP neglect - I mean rule.
Posted by: Norseman at November 23, 2007 4:36 PMAh yes, 16 years of recovering from the Devine years.
Grant Devine, who took a province with no debt and drove it to 14 billion dollars in the hold.
And in the process services were cut (unfortunate, yet ironically something Conservatives would do) in an attempt to service the Devine legacy.
And didn't the Devine government sell Saskatchewans Road equipment?
So, equipment had to be bought back (while the Sask. party gnashed it teeth, one presumes, over the cost), while trying to not go over budget, which would cause the Conservative's to whine more.
And now Saskatchewan has in power a party derived from the Devine Government's self-immolation. The implications are not good.
And Murray Rennie loses the debate. First mention of the Nazis took 78 posts. Good work, lefties! That's up 30 spots from the last time you sore losers tried to take on Brad Wall!
Posted by: Yukon Gold at November 23, 2007 4:48 PMAh, partisan wankers like Claude. Always amusing to watch them try to form a rational thought. Case in point: since I'm criticizing Harper for cutting soldiers' bonuses, I MUST HATE THE MILITARY.
Dear Jesus.
Honestly, do they make 'em any dumber than you?
Posted by: JohnnyRingo at November 23, 2007 4:49 PMActually, Murray, I can't differentiate the NDP (far left) and communists. But nice Godwin's Law proof after that.
Who messed up the paving? Give me some of what you're smoking, and then tell me what kind of pavement is supposed to last 16 years' worth of Saskatchewan winters without repair, no matter how well it's done?
"Sheeple"? More ad hominem. Nice. Keep it up, buddy. The credibility gap just grew.
Posted by: Johann at November 23, 2007 4:49 PMAh yes, Godwin's Law. How ironic to see conservatives invoke it.
However, the analogy still applies. Conservatives like to label anything to their left as Communist. For instance...Socialist=Communuist, Liberal=Communist.
Sorry Johann, the analogy runs both ways. If NDP=Communists, then Conservatives=Nazis.
Or at least Conservatives=Fascist.
---------------------

As Devine. He funded it.

Posted by: Murray Rennie at November 23, 2007 4:56 PMTell me, Ringo, why should the government just give them $1200 extra dollars just to live in Toronto? Perhaps maybe the DND should just house the soldiers and their families on the base and forget about living allowances altogether. How would that be?
Also, didn't you find it odd, Ringo, that one of the most outspoken critics of the Afghanistan mission (arguably causing a drop in morale for soldiers and their families) is now arguing that a drop in pay would result in a drop in morale?
Posted by: Andrew at November 23, 2007 4:56 PM"Or at least Conservatives=Fascist."
So you're telling me the US Dems (to the right of Canadian conservatives) are fascists? Tell Barry Obama or HillBillary that. But fair enough. I'll let go of the rhetoric on this one.
As for "As [sic] Devine. He funded it.", nice try. I'm betting you dodged my actual question because your answer didn't serve your leftist purpose (to smear anything to the right of Jack! Layton): there is NO pavement capable of surviving 16 SK winters without repair.

Murray ... there will be NO source or proof posted here because it is a fabrication - a speaking point from the Saskatchewan Party Caucus .... it is their attempt to create mythology!
Right wing liars and the lying lies they perpetrate!
Posted by: leftdog at November 23, 2007 5:26 PMYou Marxist fellows could get hit in the forehead with a flying ball of crap and want proof that it was a flying ball of crap. It would be quite clear to every body else what it was, but you would demamd proof. It has been clearly stated in this post what had occured after you guys got kicked out of the legislature. Sore losers.

Fine.
Where was all this left wing fury over Spudco....Murdoch Carriere......Meadow Lake pulp....Phantom balanced budgets etc?

Yep, they sure are. They are just plain S-i-c-k and t-i-r-e-d of all that prosperity from the last 15 years or so. I remember when they gave out the Ralph Bucks a couple of years ago. My relatives were just plain mad. I mean, what were they going to do with all this extra money.
Its terrible I tell ya--terrible!

Posted by: Horny Toad at November 23, 2007 6:19 PMHey Bobsey Twins Ringo and Rennie,you're asking where Kate is?Try looking up a new word(for you useless Dipsh*ts)..it's a real tough 4-letter word,that will most likely explain Kate's absence..say it with me now ..WORK!!!!
Posted by: Sammy at November 23, 2007 6:35 PMWhen Bob Rae's NDP government was defeated in Ontario in 1995, they left behind a container of composting worms for incoming premier Mike Harris. But I think they regarded it as a gift.
Sorry, I could find no link from that time.
Posted by: Joan Tintor at November 23, 2007 7:07 PM"Larry Hubich president of the Sask Federation of Labour, ..... pledged that the 93,000 union members ......would stand with farmers who want the right to collectively market their grain."
Are there really 93,000 govt employees in Sask?
Or how does that break down?
Rockyt:
I too fully support their right to collectively market their grain. Too bad they don't support my right to market my grain as I see fit.
Posted by: Bazoo at November 23, 2007 7:35 PMAs a landlord, I deal with people vacating premises all the time. If food is smeared on walls and floors, it is safe to say that the unit was "trashed", as it appears the tenants smeared their trash on the walls and floors.
If holes are punched in walls, and furniture destroyed, then we are talking about vandalism and destruction of private property.
I do not think Kate implied anything more than a simple trashing.
Moobats go blow salt, her comments were accurate, as far as this property management professional is concerned.

Can't you hear the nails being pounded in?
What a sweet sound to my ears!
Nobody on the prairies of sane mind will donate to the CWB cause anymore, so they have to look for money across Canada.
The Liberal CWB gravy train is heading straight to the wreckers.
Y'all are completely demented. Go get a life. The election is OVER. Let it go.
Oh, and children? Behave with a little more decorum and civility, or daddy will SPANK.

Was the Province in Saskatchewan in debt the day before the 1982 General Election?
Posted by: NewDad at November 23, 2007 8:41 PMJohann,
Here is how you define the difference between communism and socialism.
I was told this story first hand by a former Local Teamster Union President and eventual Tory MLA from Manitoba who visited the Soviet Union in the early 80'S in hope of learning more about the “successful" Soviet Model.
What he saw and was the population suffering tremendous deprivation while the political elite prospered.
He came home resigned from his post as president of his local union and began a long personal fight to stop what he called "Creeping Communism".
He said socialism and communism are the same thing it’s just that socialist take your rights and your property away at a slower pace than communists do but the end result is the same.
Well said Claude, I always laugh when lefties challenge people on the differences between communism and socialism. Well, The difference is the amount of time it takes from when you question their methods or beliefs until the point when they shoot you in the head. Lets call socialism a 'slow death'...
Posted by: Norseman at November 23, 2007 9:45 PMWhat part of "stay on topic" do you people not understand? If it's off topic, don't post it. If it's been posted, don't respond. I'll be deleting them all, and banning those who can't respect the rules.
I really couldn't care less if lefties find the report of trashing offices to be extreme or baseless. Welcome to a small spoonful of our world, where we have to endure the likes of CBC and CTV on a daily basis, shoved down our throats by the shovel full, for how long? Enjoy the spoon whiners.
Posted by: multirec at November 23, 2007 10:52 PMok4ua, go look up those balanced budgets at the Provincial Auditor's site, then tell me how we had balanced budgets that didn't follow the GAAP accounting rules and why the debt got larger in years that Calvert claimed the budget was balanced.
Then you can explain to us all how strip mining every last dollar of cash flow out of the crowns and calling it revenue works.
The crown debt went up because they had all the cash stripped away, and even then Forlorne had to use voodoo accounting to fool people.
What part of "stay on topic" do you people not understand? If it's off topic, don't post it. If it's been posted, don't respond. I'll be deleting them all, and banning those who can't respect the rules.

Well said Kate. Now, how about your evidence? Still MIA?
Posted by: Murray Rennie at November 24, 2007 12:37 AM"When the Progressive Conservatives trashed the province and its infrastructure, the public overwhelmingly brought the NDP back into power to clean up their mess. Once the mealy mouthed, braindead, know nothings you speak of have sufficiently wrecked things again for Saskatchewan's people, the voters will once more bring back the NDP to straighten things out.

So tell me how did those mealy mouthed, braindead, know nothings sort out the province? I am sure like me there are people just waiting for you to tell us

Posted by: Pissedoff at November 24, 2007 10:40 AMThe Lefties sure have their knickers in a knot, get over it, your heroes lost, you're losers, move to Manitoba.
Posted by: Bruce Randall at November 24, 2007 1:12 PMThe NDP party trashed Saskatchewan, just like they trashed B.C. before they got turfed, so it wouldn't be such a jump to find the NDP trashed the offices too. The place would probably need a lick of paint after the scum slid out anyhow.
Posted by: Joanne at November 24, 2007 1:44 PMNobody would be surprised to learn that departing socialists had trashed their offices and equipment. Socialists are by their nature emotionally underdeveloped and are unable to accept that sometimes things don't go their way, and when they don't, they invariably react with childish tantrums and name-calling.
Genuine diversity that extends beyond skin colour -- i.e., intellectual or political diversity -- is frightening and shocking to them, and they invariably respond to it with petulance and insults, at best -- and at worst, violence and vandalism.
The possibility that somebody could find fault with their ideas is not something socialists can accept, and of course the essence of maturity is the ability to accept and respect differing points of view. So I would not be at all surprised to learn that what Kate alleges is true.
However, I'd sure like to see something to corroborate her post. I cannot find a single story. I have to believe that any real damage that had occurred would have been widely reported.
I have great respect and admiration for Kate and want very much to give her the benefit of the doubt, and I hope she clears this up, one way or another, soon.
Posted by: Darrell at November 24, 2007 5:55 PMThings are getting interesting around here! I haven't looked at this subject's comments until just now and what occurs to me is that there is a bit of a ganging up on Kate by several leftards going on here. And, it appears to be a co-ordinated attack. Well leftguys, you better send for some re-inforcements, you know, get a "surge" of troups to help you out. Kate and her sheeples are still kickin a$$.
Posted by: a different Bob at November 24, 2007 6:39 PMNow if only Saskatchewan, well those in Wascana anyway, can boot out the objectionable Ralphie Goodale! Then we can say they're on a roll.
Posted by: Liz J at November 24, 2007 7:18 PMKate, we're waiting for some corroboration on your office-trashing gossip...surely you're not using your site the same way the MSM uses their platform to spin gossip and innuendo (or just plain lies) about your political partisan opponets...
....are you? Because that would be straight up hypocrisy, and we all know Kate McMillan is no hypocrite....right? Anyone?
**crickets chirping...tumbleweeds tumbling...**
Posted by: JohnnyRingo at November 25, 2007 12:32 PMIt would seem proof of Kate's assertion is hard to come by. Nothing on the CTV web site, and nothing in the media.
Perhaps Kate would give us the time in the Gormley telecast where he supposedly "followed up" on this.
After all, we wouldn't want to think Kate, like other CONservatives, is simply making stuff up, now would we?
