globalization and undemocratization | Premier Roy Romanow has created a new form of intelligence in the "written word(1)". |
As a consequence, our government, our bureaucracy, our legal community, and big | |
corporations have taken advantage of the written word--just or unjust--to establish | |
an overall pervasive Rule of Law and speed up the processes of globalization and | |
undemocratization in Saskatchewan(2) against competing individual businesses and | |
farmers. | |
In the 90's my business had the tangible potential to create relevant local wealth in the | |
single out the federal government for the farm crisis | health care industry; however, the written word of our powerful Big Brains(3)(4) not only |
prevented my business to be viable, but caused incredible social pains for me and my | |
family. Today the situation is worse, and the social implications of our globalization | |
policies have affected our children and our local farmers. Governments should assure | |
the right of every responsible citizen to a healthy and creative living; instead, we have a | |
provincial government which trades the lives of our children for science(5), and which | |
uses the written word to single out the federal government for the farm crisis in the Prairies. | |
sole responsibility of the federal government to assist our farmers | Twenty five per cent of our children live in poverty and the first priority of our politicians |
is to build a Synchrotron in Saskatoon so that they may be reelected in the next election(6). | |
Most of our fifty five thousand farmers are experiencing the greatest drop in their income | |
since the depression, and our Honourable Dwain Lingenfelter(7)(8), Minister of Agriculture, | |
says that in accordance to the written word it is the sole responsibility of the federal | |
government to assist our farmers(9). | |
large corporate farms and profits will be the bottom line | Our Premier Romanow refuses to provide any governmental direct assistance to our fifty |
five thousand farmers, and as a hypocrite has stated "Put the method of production in the | |
hands of large corporate farms and profits will be the bottom line, and they will pay and | |
pay and pay and pay for expensive food(10)." | |
Dear Honourable Roy Romanow, a contract has been put on your head for your incompetence | |
and arrogance(11), why don't you trade our money for the lives of our local farmers? | |
