deficits

"There are real deficits in our society. Deficits in the provision of a safe, uplifting environment for all of our citizens. Deficits in education of the young and protection of all from violence. Deficits in preservation and improvement of the country's natural resources of land, water, and air."--Robert Eisner, Economist

 

 

terrorism

We are at a turning point of our social understanding, and instead to consider terrorism as a crime universally recognized by any person and any country, we are taking our law in our own hands and wage a war against terrorism in Afghanistan. As more civilian casualties occur as collateral damage from bombing, so the war is increasingly taking the perception of a vindication against the Pashtun people of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

 

 

poverty

The same has been occurring in Saskatchewan where our governments have become a private contractual deal, take the law in their own hands, and wage a private war against poverty by increasing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), teaching the aboriginal people how to follow the white man's footsteps and sell themselves for business and how to become instantly rich through native sponsored lotteries. As this war against poverty has been causing more deaths in the freezing winter of Saskatchewan so more cops are needed to defend our private Rule of Law.

 

 

covering
up

Yesterday I read Timothy Shire's perspective of what has been happening in Saskatchewan and Saskatoon in light of the recent and well known revelation that the RCMP is covering up the crimes of possible death squads operating in the Saskatoon's police department.

 

 

Ed
Holgart




coalition





spin-doctor

Yesterday I read the news that lawyer Ed Holgart has withdrawn his services to defend Richard Klassen in his lawsuit against the Saskatoon's police and many other parties including ministries of the government of Saskatchewan.

We have all learned that our own government of Saskatchewan has become formulating a private contract as MLAs Ron Osika and Jim Melenchuk will be sitting on their assets as they sold themselves and stay in the coalition government. This is the private Rule of Law in Saskatchewan, the teaming up of governments, business, lawyers and police to increase the GDP against the good of their clients, that is the people of Saskatchewan.

But our private Rule of Law is taking a definite fight against poverty and now it is going to wage a public relations war to show that Saskatchewan is a vibrant province. In fact, after former Economic Development Minister Janice MacKinnon spin-doctored the economic growth of Saskatchewan it is now up to her husband Peter MacKinnon, president of the University of Saskatchewan, to spin-doctor and sell our province to the world. In fact, the provincial government and the university have teamed up to provide $100,000 each for professor Bill Waiser to produce a book on Saskatchewan's history in time for its 100 birthday in 2005. Incidently, we can appreciate what has happened to this province as professor Waiser says

third in
Canada

"People forget that up into the 1930s Saskatchewan was the third most populated province in Canada, and two-thirds of that population was rural."
