Regina Leader-Post

Sask. Party doing little for province

-

I am really quite tired of the Saskatchew­an Party indicating they are standing up for Saskatchew­an. They are doing nothing of the sort.

Our economy is faltering, and there are cuts to health care and social services.

They cut out the provincial bus line; yes, it was a moneylosin­g enterprise, but so is the ‘Global Waste of Money’ (Global Transporta­tion

Hub).

The bus line was a vital transporta­tion link for the elderly and disabled in rural areas. We have the secondlowe­st minimum wage and the second-highest HIV rate in Canada.

How is this looking after Saskatchew­an? P3s are not working correctly, ‘lean’ was a huge waste of money. Teachers are doing more with less.

They use out-of-province contractor­s; sure they hire some Saskatchew­an people, but the profits leave Saskatchew­an.

Moose Jaw MLAS have done nothing for Moose Jaw. Lots of good-paying jobs have left the city, which were mostly unionized, no surprise.

The Moose Jaw North

MLA also indicated that his government has a three-year plan to reduce dependence on resource revenue, then his government encouraged further growth with a four-year Mineral Developmen­t Strategy to encourage mineral exploratio­n, and the Fraser Institute in 2017 ranked Saskatchew­an second out of 91 for world mining investment.

Also, the Sask. Party continues to explore ways to maintain and improve the competitiv­eness of the oil and gas industry.

The right hand does not know what left hand is doing.

All while standing up for Saskatchew­an.

How gullible do they think we are? Quite a bit, by the looks of it.

Gary Vieser, Moose Jaw
