MODERATORS
I'll certainly be voting for them but unfortunately we still don't have voting reform to make them a reasonable choice in any riding.
If only there was somebody who campaigned on this promise!
I grew up in Saskatchewan where back in the day (60s and 70s) voting NDP was automatic.
Alan Blakeney (NDP), premier from 1971-82, brought in a resolution to add a $0.10 per litre gas tax that would go into a Heritage account (so that Sask would have some savings for the next recession/drought).
The population was pissed, so the next election they voted in Grant Devine (PC), who immediately spent every cent in the fund to fulfill his campaign promises and, by 1991, had Saskatchewan on the brink of bankruptcy.
As of 2007 Sask has had far right wing leadership in the form of the Saskatchewan Party ... a far cry from who they supported and believed in when Tommy Douglas was premier.
The NDP recently won in Manitoba, but we have a huge mess left over from the Pallister/Goerzen/Stefanson fiascos.
