October 14, 2011 Friday 5:30 p.m. in front of CBC Saskatchewan, Broad St., Regina, SK Help me take back control of our political system from media executives who pre-package our political choices. Democracy belongs to the people, not to CBC, CTV, or Global big-wigs. If Link or Yens and other NDP candidates show up to […]

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Debate Injustice
It’s going to be a busy week for protesting injustice. On Saturday the Occupy Regina protest is underway, and now on Friday evening I’m again organizing a protest in front of CBC. Last time was for the federal election’s anti-democratic debate format that excluded (subsequently elected) Green Party leader Elizabeth May from the Broadcast Consortium’s […]

Great commentary from The Globe and my favourite part:“At the same time, voters will have to decide what they make of today’s Americanized Conservatives as represented by Mr. Harper, Mr. Hudak and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford – all men who yearn for a simpler, long-vanished society that no longer represents

“At the same time, voters will have to decide what they make of today’s Americanized Conservatives as represented by Mr. Harper, Mr. Hudak and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford – all men who yearn for a simpler, long-vanished society that no longer represents today’s Canada.”
I for one do not want our fine country to resemble our neighbours to the south. As much as I respect and admire them and look at them as brothers and sisters I don’t want anything to do with their government or policies.

Yeah, yeah… I and everyone else was off base last time when all of we so-called “pundits” tried to pick the outcome of the May 2 election. And I have learned my lesson and won’t do it again. …. NOT! I love trying to predict outcomes of elections! Back in the old days (before May […]

It’s becoming more and more clear that the Andrea Howarth led NDP party is NOT the NDP of the past fighting for social injustice. In fact, I think this NDP’s new direction seems like a deceptive representation of the NDP brand and almost right leaning. Some claim Andrea Howarth and Ontario NDP are only

I think one of the biggest issues in the upcoming provincial election is JOBS! I’ve seen it all over the media and it’s also of personal interest to me as I’m looking for work right now.
So I thought I would do a little analysis of each of the major party’s platform strategies for job creation. Here goes:
PC PARTY
Looking at the PC platform there isn’t much there regarding any plan or strategy towards job creation except for this statement:
“A Tim Hudak government will focus on letting the job creators – not the government – drive new job growth.”
Since when has that ever worked???!! We’ve been seeing unemployment rates soar while businesses post record profits and rich shareholders make gains. It’s obvious that the job creators aren’t going to use any gains towards driving new growth as shareholders are more important to them.
Anyhow, the PC platform goes on about:
- Lowering family tax rates
- Cutting red tape for businesses
- Lowering corporate tax
- Updating the apprenticeship system (however it’s unclear and poorly written as to how or why)
- Raising corporate taxes
- Tax breaks for businesses that provide training for employees
- Tax breaks for businesses that buy Ontario goods
- Freezing tuition rates for post secondary education
- Make Ontario more competitive globally to attract jobs
- Education
- Increased early childhood education
- Summer learning for struggling students
- Changes to teacher’s education programs to increase “hands-on” experience
- Grants for low-mid income family’s post-secondary education
- Relief with loan payment for post-secondary graduates
- Incentives for job creators
- Doubling trade missions to attract global investment in Ontario
- Promoting innovative businesses in Ontario
- “Green” energy incentives
- Lowering taxes on new business investment
- Continued support of apprenticeship programs
- Continue to make Ontario people healthy and healthcare more accessible
- Leadership in Northern Ontario mining jobs and industry
FYI – A recent article proving value in “green” energy.

It would truly be a shame for Ontario to benefit from this project and become world leaders and innovators at producing clean renewable energy. Yah! It makes more sense to keep burning coal and gas until prices skyrocket even more and all the oil and coal are gone.
Quality journalism and editorial at it’s best below in the National Post! Cover one side of the story and barely that.
I seriously can’t believe people buy into this.
