  2. But Cal – she’s out of work now and needs a bandstand to jump onto. A good study in how the dippers look for work after losing an election.

  4. So, like whatever became of the former Premier who just found out about blogging before he was relieved of duty?

  5. can you provide a picture of her as proof, I can only imagine that after the years of sitting on her dipper butt she would be at least an axehandle across the backend. beauty is only skin deep but ugly is to the bone.

  6. “…. What progressive Canadians can learn from the 2007 setback in Saskatchewan is that sticking to your base is key….”
    Hahaha … of course it NEVER occurs to the fools that the Consequences of their Incompetence like chickens in a barnyard eventually come home to roost.
    The people they expect will keep paying for their stupidity always get tired of it eventually and it’s proven over and over in every socialist state.
    Congratulations to the citizens of Saskatchewan for throwing the bums out. Next time FINISH the job!

  8. Good on you Saskatchewan for removing the bubble-wrap. Has the Sleeping Giant awoke? Brad, you only live once; have integrity and do the right thing for your people, always.
    This Maritimer is rooting of the green and white come Sunday.

  10. State ownership of all blogs will be the new New Democratik Party platform since information hurt them so badly.

  14. If Brad Wall intends to make serious changes to the socialist style of governing in Saskatchewan he should not make the same mistake Mike Harris did in Ontario.
    Take on the unions, clean house early and go deep.
    Do the necessary dirty work early in his mandate and don’t go with half measures, in order to make it difficult for socialists to ease back into a governing role in four years.

  16. A telling note on that linked site cal2 – “Kyall doesn’t have any testimonials yet” or a job either.

  17. Looks like it should be a decent cabinet although C.Tell in the old CYR portfolio seems a bit of an odd fit for a policewoman.
    The irony of the link to the CBC on a blog where they are truly considered the evil empire seems to delicious for words though.
    I hope Wall lives up to all of our expectations.

  18. So. When to the “Wall stole the election with the help of evil Harper and MchimpyBushHitler” start?
    Anyone? ok4ua?? lberia?? Sigh.

  19. Gosh I hope Lorne Calvert did not have any discussions with anyone about possible future business arrangements before he left office.

  20. Now that the new Gov’t has been sworn in, How long before Brad and S. Harper sit down and hammer out a made for Sask. Equalization deal?

  22. From the obesity-is-rampant site:
    “Obesity is rampant in Saskatchewan, especially in northern and rural communities. Fighting income disparity, growing even under the NDP thanks no doubt to oil jobs, is not on the radar of right-wingers like Premier-elect Brad Wall. Neither are the heightened racial tensions between the province’s First Nations and Métis peoples and the settler population.”
    “Settler population”? wtf? Is this some new kind of dipper jargon?

  23. Brad Molnar is correct. Mike Harris was a great premier, particularly in comparison to Ontario’s other premiers, but he could and should have done much more to combat the left. Unions in Ontario are still hailing his failure to privatize the province’s liquor industry as a “moral victory.” Let’s hope Mr. Wall never compromises.
    Also, a premature congratulations to Kate as she approaches seven million hits.

  25. I see Swift Current is already hoping for special treatment. A new hospital,casino, upgrades to the arena. I guess that’s not enough. He’ll make the NDP look good. He hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing. Looking to Ross Thatcher for inspiration. I don’t think the people know what they voted for.

  27. Why did the dippers lose when they had it all going for them? Simple, corruption leads to a point where you eventually piss off more peope than you can buy. Result, the general population turns on you.

  28. Don Toth = Speaker?
    He’s the longest-serving member of the government caucus, and he was excluded from Cabinet….

  29. Explaination for felis corpulentis:
    “settler population” = “Non-Native” = “evil European invader-conquerors”.

  30. Congrats to my Saskabush brethren…now let’s hope the “new broom” can stay clean long enough to sweep the crap out of the dark corners.

  31. I am revealing here that there is something sinister about this new Premier. Think back to that bold pin-striped suit that he wore in the infamous debate. The word is out that he bought it at Rittinger’s Men’s Wear store in his home-town of Swift Current. The suit he wore the night of the election was also purchased that day from the very same Rittinger’s Mens Wear. Rittinger’s is a privately run store. If Mr. Wall is serious in his statements that he will not privatize Sask Tel et al then surely he could have at lease made a powerful statement by purchasing those suits from the Pioneer Co-op Mens Wear department. Or maybe Mr. Wall and his cohorts are planning to privatize the Co-op’s in our province. I wouldn’t sleep too well if I were a Co-op employee in this province.

  32. ok4ua – Lets talk about Swift Current if you want. The casino? You can have it. It creates false wealth and hurts those that can least afford to be hurt – the lower income folks and those on welfare. Upgrades to the local arena? Ya, badly needed since the building is some 40 years old. We pay taxes too.
    The new hospital? Badly needed and we can thank Brad Wall as well as others in our community for helping to make it happen. Swift Current is the hub of the Southwest. Under the new treatment matrix in this province, Swift Current’s hospital provides access to certain treatment and specialists that folks cannot get in the smaller towns in our area. The smaller towns and villages provide access to some medical care. When a higher level of care is required Swift Current is the place to come to. If even a higher level of care is required then its off to either Regina or Saskatoon. That is what is done in all areas of Saskatchewan.
    Our old hospital was first of all – old, secondly, badly outdated, inefficient, expensive to heat, in bad need of millions of dollars of upgrades and renovations – not a great facility to attract and retain physicians and specialists, and the list goes on. The best thing to do was build a new, modern facility to serve us for the long haul.
    Now the disturbing part about this new facility is that we have 6 our our 24 surgical beds closed because our Board did not budget for the nurses needed to have those beds open. Isn’t that special! Here we not only have a huge shortage of nurses in this province but we have nurses in Swift Current who cannot get full-time employment in our hospital because the Board did not budget to have all our beds open.
    OK4UA – be a little more specific when you say Swift Current is going to get special treatment. Don’t give examples of what was started under your beloved dead NDP government. Give us examples of what is you think is being looked at now. If you can’t think of anything just do what you usually do – make it up.

  33. Wow…just had a quick gander at the Exalted One’s new cabinet, and I must say, His Holiness is looking every bit as politically astute as he is well dressed.
    All in all, excellent moves by the God-of-Men. I look forward to Brad Wall’s next divination. Watch out Harper…looks like there’s another master strategist on the scene! Better hone those chess moves…can’t play tiddlywinks against Dion forever!!

  34. “settler population” = “Non-Native” = “evil European invader-conquerors”. Thanks, jwkozak91 for confirming what the context was implying.
    What baffles me is why one would use those terms to refer to the majority that pays the bills, especially if your own origins are within that population. I guess it’s just more “progressive” moral presumption and self-hatred. I wonder how many more twerps like that will be on the airlift into Gary Doer’s Manitoba.

  37. Hey, does anybody have pictures to post, of the damage the NDPers did to some of the rooms in the legislature? are or were they in the LP or SP??

  39. felis corpulentis
    Endophobic Bigot is the newspeak I use.

    I thought abortion got rid of the orphanages?
    Socialists might have more fun going in with rifles and 5 round magazines to “choice” them just in case they turn out bad.
    Oh wait killing 308 children in an orphanage might get a headline. Best to flush them.
