I fell asleep watching TV last night, nothing unusual. I awoke at midnight and happened to turn on Global B.C. News. The first story was about a major B.C. Pub chain “the Donnelly Group” filing for creditor protection. They said they ran into a wall. “The wall was a shortage of labour, it was the inflation we’ve been faced with, it was the increasing costs put on by government — paid sick leave, more holidays, the increase in the minimum wage.” The next story was about B.C. businesses eating $6.5 billion in government imposed costs over 3 years. Wow! The next story was about the Surrey Memorial Hospital being in crisis!
So in the socialist NDP Mecca of British Columbia things aren’t so rosey, let’s hope Alberta doesn’t go down the socialist road and put Rachel Notley in power. The past in Alberta and the present in B.C. show that the NDP lead to higher taxes and business failure!

In 1987 I was 18 at the time, after graduation a lot of my grad class headed to Alberta. There was a reason for that.

The collective amnesia on Agrisilly is something else.
Some of the toughest years in Saskatchewan were in the 1980s under Devine. I guess the droughts, low commodity prices, farm foreclosures, high interest rates and poor economy were all his fault? LOL
And to top it off he just about bankrupted the province with a lot of questionable spending. And then several in his cabinet were convicted of fraud and stealing from taxpayers. The good ole days for some.

We all know the blunders of the Devine years but I ask you in this day and age what can we attribute to Devine’s vision which has benefited this province versus Blakeney or even later Romanow? Far as the crooks in Devines caucus is it any worse than how the Blakney government ran the crowns with party hacks? Spudco?

One of the horrible “corruption” charges was a MLA accepting a saddle , not really on todays scale with numb nuts
Anyone who doesn’t think Devine left some really good projects for the province has rocks in their ****ing heads
Countless hydro dams, irrigation projects, irrigation dams , lakes , uprader ,shielding farmers from high interest rates , drought assistance , etc.
are you really that simple ?

That’s all the ndp’s have left. They could hang that stinky albatross around conservatives necks for a few election cycles but it became apparent they did less than nothing for the province in the Romanow years. Calvert at least give him credit tried a bit at the end to open up the province to oil and gas.
