Honourable Janice MacKinnon and her rolling economy in Phonyland

showing her confident
The business section of last Saturday's edition of The StarPhoenix⁽¹⁾ includes the picture of

Economic and Co-operative Development Minister Janice MacKinnon showing her confident

and aggressive smile while she had been murmuring either "sex" or "cheese" to the photographer.

Saskatchewan economy is very much on a roll
We are living in Phonyland⁽²⁾ and our leaders must carry their commitment to be phony in their

appearances as well as in their words. Therefore, after Dr. Cassidy's researches have exposed the

clothes of our emperors to the entire research world⁽³⁾⁽⁴⁾, we have Honourable Janice MacKinnon

rejoicing to the critical thinking news that Saskatchewan's jobs have jumped 10,000 in a year.

So, last January, Honourable MacKinnon rejoiced to the supposed news that Saskatchewan's

jobs jumped 12,400 in a year⁽⁵⁾, and today she astutely smiles as she cons the public and says

"I think we're doing extremely well and the job numbers this month reinforce the fact the

Saskatchewan economy is very much on a roll." I don't trust the number of jobs jumping by

12,400 last January⁽⁶⁾, and therefore I don't trust the number of jobs jumping by 10,000 last

April. Trust aside, maybe Honourable MacKinnon could tell us what happened to the job

numbers between January and April of this year.
