Political leadership in Saskatchewan and Canada: |
|
Nipawin - November 5, 2000 - By: Mario deSantis | |
Dwain Lingenfelter |
Our experiences in no-fault government in Canada is a reflection of our decadent democracy |
which put money and speculation before the interests of people. This no-fault approach to | |
government has been more severe in Saskatchewan where a socialistic regime at the mercy of | |
our big corporate culture and corrupted politicians has led this small province to become the | |
worst run province in the country(1). This blatant lack of democracy and speculative motivation | |
is best represented by our former deputy premier Dwain Lingenfelter who has recently left | |
the provincial cabinet to join a $250,000 executive position with Occidental Oil of Calgary | |
while his poor wife Louise Simard, former minister of health, has been left all alone in her | |
Regina's mansion to head the notorious Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations | |
(SAHO). | |

look after himself |
It is not the $250,000 that bothers me, it is the fact that this prominent politician had built a |
career within a socialist party for the only reason to look after himself, his poor wife and his | |
friends. This is pure deception and you have to tell me what is the difference between left | |
and right or between one party's platform and another, when everybody agrees to serve | |
themselves once in power(2). | |

leadership |
There is no difference, and that is why the first priority for all people of any colour is to |
combat the current political corruption(3)! Yesterday I wrote an article on the hearing for | |
Colin Thatcher's early parole(4) and I was amazed at the statement made by psychiatrist | |
Julio Arboleda-Florez that our elements of leadership are the same elements which | |
characterize a psycopath, that is glibness, grandiose sense of self-worth, pathological lying, | |
no remorse, no sense of guilt, lack of empathy and callousness. And I am disconcerted to | |
realize how far away this characterization of leadership is from what it should be, a leadership | |
for teaching people how to learn better in a knowledge society(5), a leadership for coaching | |
people how to become leaders themselves(6). Leadership in Saskatchewan, and for that | |
matter in Canada, is not only the inner sanctum of the privileged but the inner sanctum of | |
the corrupted, and our politicians are at the forefront of this new world's vision. | |
