Have Saskatchewan NDP Learned A Thing?
Will they ever? Nope, not at this rate. Not unless the executive house is fully cleaned out and the whole party's attitude mightily tuned in.
I wasn’t surprised, but still disgusted to learn that on the very first day of their first Legislative session of a new four-year term, the Saskatchewan NDP chose to publicly highlight their own impotence, instead of tackling the issues that are destroying this province.
Yesterday “Shadow Minister” (such a stupid title - “Opposition Minister” would have made far more sense) of Finance, Trent Wotherspoon, put forward a losing motion on his party’s failed gas tax campaign promise.
Yep.
The NDP’s big idea on Day One was to try to get the Sask Party government to endorse one of the NDP’s campaign planks.
Despite the fact they’ve been celebrating like they did, the Saskatchewan NDP didn’t win the election.
They don’t have a majority.
And on the first day back, they chose to highlight that fact.
Unfathomable.
