Nothing more offensive than accuracy
Kate McMillian has been cited as offensive on the floor of the Saskatchewan legislature. The NDP’s knickers are in a twist over this post.
Dear Saskatoon Inner City;If those of you in the “left behind during an economic boom community” want a grocery store in your neighborhood, the following economic stimuli are guaranteed to produce one a lot more quickly than a government funded “free” dental clinic and housing project:
1. Put the cap back on your used needle and take it to a safe disposal site. Failing that, share it with your friends. It’s a quicker solution to your problem, anyway.
2. Cross your legs.
3. Put down the spray can.
4. BINGO!
And no, I don’t have any change. There’s a McDonalds over on 22nd where the average kid working behind the counter is a 55 year old women. I doubt they’re pushing you out of the job market.
On second thought, maybe they are. SDA
The NDP weenie thinks, “Ms. McMillan’s statements were petty, hurtful, and offensive,”
I note that the NDP weenie did not actually say Kate’s post was, er, false. Most large cities in Canada have an area where some sad, desperate people practice the more extreme forms of self abuse. To the NDP this is a problem which can only be solved by the application of money and more social workers. This manifestly does not work as the number and condition of the homeless and the drug addled increase year by year.
Would Kate’s suggestions work? Well, they would require people to take responsibility for themselves. Which is always hard. But the harsh truth is that where people do not at least try to take that responsibility the outcome is entirely predictable – death.
Apparently even pointing this out is too much for the NDP. Which, no doubt, explains their ongoing failure to come up with more than platitudes to deal with the very real problems of inner city poverty.

So, Jay, is Brad Wall a “weenie” too?
Those are intolerant and unacceptable remarks and I had known for some time in Opposition we had an endorsement on our website referencing myself and I think that’s been removed, and if it hasn’t it will be shortly.

Yup…But he’s our weenie

If Brad Wall does not believe in personal responsibility then he is not our weenie. Just a weenie in name only.
That would be WINO. Does the Saskatchewan legislature have harsh words for me now?

Brad Wall, like Bob Runciman in Ontario, is an elected Conservative politician, and like all elected politicians, will run from controversy.
Especially the controversy of being tagged “racist” by some neo-McCarthyite by NDP nitwits, or Dr. Dawg for that matter.

Dawg you proved Jay’s point. Ingnoring the validity of the comments and focusing on Wall.

Interesting, first Kate was just some blogger who didn’t speak for the people of Sask. Now she’s apparently required reading, and can induce fits of handwringing in the legislature.
It’s the dawg sydrome, they just can’t stay away; they have to pay attention so they can throw a hissy fit and feel satisfied.
And yeah, Brad’s our weenie and knows he has to sling a certain amount of BS to keep the peace amongst the braindead.

Speaking of Weenies – Hey Jay see Damian Penny’s site you, SDA, Brock, & Shaidle have labelled Haters again by the Gasbag Kinsella.

Kind of funny that the New Democratic Penny gets themselves all in a lather when someone alludes to the fact that they have presided (what was it five terms?)over a poverty ridden crack strip in the middle of the prairies. Thank goodness that Canada’s other ingenious (in the Wile E. Coyote and Jason Cherniak Acme Company exploding slingshot sense) NDP government has turned Winnipeg into an economic powerhouse and model of urban renewal unspoilt by the lords of Listerine down on Main Street.
A wonderful town. Unless you’re a cabbie who gets cut in half by a stolen Chevy Avalanche that T-Bones you at 120 km/h, but the NDPenny ban will fix that.

Penny is an NDPer? Who knew?

Think Lorne and crew will be distancing themselves from Tommy over some statements he’s made? God forbid we allow private peoples in Saskatchewan to have an opinion!

This whole Saskatchewan dust storm smells like the work of an “inexperienced staffer.”

Lords of Listerine!
That’s a keeper.
