Fyke's Report: Supporting the Tacit Self-fulfilling Prophecy to Shrink Saskatchewan to Greatness

Fyke's Report: Supporting the Tacit
Self-fulfilling Prophecy to Shrink Saskatchewan to Greatness

Nipawin - April 22, 2001 - by: Mario deSantis

In September 1999, appalled by the deceptive leadership of former premier Roy Romanow

I wrote

downsizing everything

"Premier Romanow has provided a provincial wide philosophy and leadership of downsizing everything; in fact, he has downsized health care, has downsized highways, has downsized crown corporations, has downsized agriculture, has downsized education, in conclusion he has put people out of work and out of the province."

And Timothy Shire, Editor of Ensign, has recently stated

grave
sites

"Implement the Fyke report and all that will remain on Saskatchewan prairies will be the grave sites of those who once lived here⁽¹⁾."

Robert
Roach
Now that I have read the report 'State of the West⁽²⁾' by Robert Roach, a policy analyst

for the Canada West Foundation, I realize how perspective I have been in naming our

leaders as our Big Brains. These Big Brains have consistently provided solutions to our

social and economic predicament by reactionary economic policies of downsizing, with

special interest in the reactionary downsizing of rural Saskatchewan.

shrink
Roach says that between 1972 and 1999, Saskatchewan suffered a net loss of 155,181

residents, or roughly 15% of its population, to other provinces⁽³⁾. What is more

frightening is that while the population of Saskatchewan has remained practically

constant at about 1,000,000 people for more than half century, Roach confirms that

Saskatchewan is the only western province with a population that is projected to shrink

during the next 25 years⁽⁴⁾.

Aboriginal
people
Now, as our largest cities have been experiencing a population growth, I just want the

readers imagine what will be happening to rural Saskatchewan if the Fyke's report is

going to be implemented at the time when our Aboriginal people are projected to double

their population in less than thirty years.

prophecy
As I am concerned, I see the implementation of the Fyke's report as a further infrastructure

set up by our Big Brains' tacit self-fulfilling prophecy to Shrink Saskatchewan to Greatness.
