The Saskatchewan NDP had their first in-person convention this weekend, with new leader Carla Beck at the helm.
The province is also experiencing a resource windfall in potash, uranium and oil brought on by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and global supply issues. But Beck criticized Moe’s government for having no plan for when prices fall.
Better than having no plan at all forever.
Correct, it sounds better than
“I have no plan other than bashing someone else’s plan to make me look better, because I have no plan other than that.”
There are people that spend their entire lives debasing people that have the wherewithal to actually try doing something..
Central planning is the evil and the premise of the neo-Marxist NDP and their fellow travelers like the Spawn-Fuhrer and his father.
Beck
My plan for when prices fall is to bring in a provincial carbon tax and raise it. That way I’ll have more money to hire bureaucrats.
We’ll spend lots of money to install more windmills and solar panels. Germany provides an excellent example of going green.
All Saskatchewan will have two years to convert to organic farming.
We’ll bring in a $5000 a year tax on internal combustion engine vehicles. This will facilitate the transition to public transit. The revenue from the tax will subsidize electric vehicles for senior government officials. The public can take the bus.
That’s her (it’s?) plan
How about fire 500 bureaucrats for every dollar below $250/bbl?
Think bigger, fire 1000 gov’t employees and 25 execs at the crown corps for every dollar below.
By the time we hit 100$/bbl gov’t expenses would never look so good and the average working joe would never feel so unburdened.
Is this latest NDP bimbo opposed to making our health care system more efficient by allowing more private health care like the rest of the world does?
Or is she stuck on stupid like the rest of them?
I heard the dummies on the radio talking about how she was mad because Moe was talking about paying down debt.
Here’s a tip, if you pay down debt now you can maybe borrow later if you need to.
She’s not just stuck it stupid. Her plan for health care would include:
a) hire more bureaucrats
b) require all doctors’ offices and clinics to hire a diversity and inclusion officer, complete with administrative staff
c) require the medical profession to embrace and implement ‘traditional healing methods’.
For some reason your comment made me think of NDP and leeches….that was a traditional healing method.
I heard the dummies on the radio talking about how she was mad because Moe was talking about paying down debt.
She’s a Prog, if not a full-blown commie. How much do you s’pose she understands about provincial scale economics? She probably has issues balancing her cheque book.
Is that a hint of lipstick?
ndp wimmin don’t go for makeup – hell many don’t use deodorant – it’s o’naturel baby. They feature their ugliness as an insult to the rest of us.
Video addresses at the Saskatchewan NDP convention by Rachel Notley and Jagmeet Singh, energy sector, job killing superheroes, preferring they not show up in person because of the optics. Oh yeah, much better. *snark*
This is Zinchuk’s third piece on the NDP. I’m getting a sense he thinks a cheese connoisseur and a social worker might be the answer to Saskatchewan’s woes.
Take a tip from Alberta’s Danielle Smith who just told the feds to get the eff out of the way.
Tune in tomorrow when I’ll describe in detail how the United Mineworkers of America stuck it to their membership good and hard with Biden’s Green Agenda.
It’s called “balance.”
Balance went out the door when the federales cut cheques for Canadian media orgs.
Balance is watching cheesester Young descend into a sputtering, babbling bag of incoherence after asking for specifics about her energy policy word salads.
Dippers, always projecting.
She does have one good point – in an economy dependant on resources, voters don’t like instability.
Well, here is a sure-fire way to predict the future.
Vote NDP.
Yep, now you will have guaranteed results.
Every single productive province that has voted NDP has gone from being a Have province to being a Have Not province.
Ontario did it, BC did it, Alberta would have if Shiny Pony had not skewed the formula. No exceptions.
Sask. had it for decades before they went in the opposite direction.
You want a predictable, guaranteed economy?
Vote NDP. You will know what you are in for.
And remember – There Are No Exceptions! History is not kind, but it does not lie.
Have Not economy here we come!
“History is not kind, but it does not lie.”
Silly you, talking about white man history.
Everyone else’s history is full of gushing rivers of chocolate which is surely not a lie.
History only became evil when white man involved.
Yup First Timer.
Never Done Paying.
What you get when these parasites gain power.
Results Guaranteed.
All part of the biggest lie ever told,otherwise known as the “incomplete sentence”..
“We are from the government,we are here to help you..”
“Into servitude and poverty” being the unspoken truth.
As sen by decades of “Government Help”.
Oh Can Ahhh..
DUH!
Keep reminding the Dippers of how WRONG they were when they predicted doom if Brad Wall was elected instead of that fossil Calvert.
And don’t forget to ask them if they learned anything or if they are capable of learning from their mistakes.
“fossil”? You misspelled “weasel”.
Murray
“weasel”, you misspelled STUPID!
Saskatchewan was the first province to buy into the socialist dream. They elected Tommy Douglas in 1942 and the great depression just carried right on.
Saskatchewan has an abundance of natural resources arguably the richest province in Canada but under the ndp those very resources remained in the ground and undeveloped. They made sure the suffering was universal…enjoyed by all. Sure everybody had a pickup but they were all 30 years old. Their main export was their young. The kids had to leave. Opportunity existed, just not in Saskatchewan.
So go ahead and flirt once again with the ndp but before you vote go talk to someone who remembers the good ol’ days of the ndp. You wont have to go far, just ask your parents or grandpa.
The NDP is why I left Saskatchewan for Alberta over 3 decades ago. Killing it in the patch ever since. Best move I ever made.
Moe’s white paper is causing leftie heads to explode. Could there be another “mike drop” moment coming this week?
I defy Beck to present even one plan of hers that doesn’t involve more taxation, followed by coercion, of the populace.
Moe should reply that his plans will never imitate her tax and spend, and what is her plan when she runs out of other people’s money?
How can you have socialism without a strong authoritarian government?
Someone should ask the bint that.
I suspect that her real answer would be that that is one of the features of socialism.
Half of Canada believes that freedom is a dirty word now.
“Half of Canada believes that freedom is a dirty word now.“
Not really. There have been no Conservative leaders espousing it, because their voters do not insist on it.
Stan
And about 90% believe Trump is an even worst word than freedom!
Why do we even care what the commie thinks.
They couldn’t make change for a loonie if I bought a $0.90 candy (GST included) with one.
What to do with the windfall? How about pay down the debt, and when that’s done invest in a sovereign wealth fund which does not allow the principal to be plundered.
Don’t use it to balance the budget or people will never learn to live within their means. It’s better to live frugally now and enjoy the blessings of prudence later.
Axiom: Supporting the federal Carbon Tax in Saskatchewan=NDP…ever.
