No more Blame Devine


I have been doing a lot of driving lately. That gives me a lot more time to think (scary thought) and listen to news and radio talk shows etc.
I listened to stories that told how Saskatchewan is leading the nation in several areas including economic growth. Saskatchewan's population is growing. We don't seem to have the same employment problems that other provinces are
experiencing and all in all life under Wall and the Sask Party seems to be pretty good. Even as I listened to talk shows there seem to be more positives than negatives and believe it or not even the Saskatchewan RoughRiders were sharing first place in the West.
Then it struck me. Something is missing. What could it be? Then like a revelation from heaven it dawned on me.
As I listened to talk shows there didn't seem to be any NDP'ers phoning in and complaining about Brad Wall or as is more common among the NDP blaming Grant Devine for everything. You know the terrible debt we have. Blame Grant Devine.
The problems with labor. Blame Grant Devine. The economic situation. Blame Grant Devine. Several years ago after a
significant drubbing inflicted on the RoughRiders, I heard a caller to a talk show phone up, and say it was Grant Devine's fault.
Of course he was kidding but you get the point. There seems to be no-one these days "Blaming Grant Devine"
How frustrating this must be for the NDP. This must leave these old cronies with frustration on their brows. What's the point of blaming Grant Devine when the province is doing so well. The last of the old fossils, Lorne Calvert, has been shunted aside.
There is a new leader in Brad Wall who some have even touted as Prime Minister material. People are returning to the province, our economic outlook is the best in the nation and things look good. And now the NDP brings back one of the old boys club
to lead the party and try to defeat Brad Wall in the 2011 election.
What will happen when the NDP loses that election to the Sask Party and the improvements continue?
Well blame Grant Devine.

Ok I'm a political junkie. Provincial, federal, world - I follow it all. Also enjoy talk radio

Kind of said most of it above. I do love to travel though. Would love to visit every major city out there. Enjoy learning the culture of other countries. I'm a people watcher and a people person. Some say I love to talk and I guess that would be accurate
