Dear Editor
Knowing premier Brad Wall’s earlier political mentor was Grant Devine should have been a red flag from the beginning. It was Roy Romano and Lorne Calvert who pulled this province from the brink and Wall caught and rode a wave while patting himself on the back. A responsible government would have dealt with a deficit when the economy was high. Wall and Doherty have squandered multi millions on white elephants long swept under the rug. One example being those not so “smart-meters” that cost us $45 million, whose sole purpose was to create unemployment. And those Texan “consultants” costing us $40 some million... actual cost was $1,511 dollars for every one dollar saved! Now their “slash, burn and tax” rampage that included profitable Crowns... and 49 per cent is like your daughter saying she's only 49 per cent pregnant!
To see the Sask Transit Commission sabotaged (let’s call it what it is) has much of the province livid. Only a dictator would sell or sabotage the peoples’ crowns without their consent and if you do the math you will find that the cost of that gold road around Regina would keep the STC running for another 105 years! Editorials in the Leader Post and Star Phoenix made it very clear that the STC was costing little more than $11 million in subsidies for operation, carrying 261,531 passengers in 2014, and freight to and from 253 communities, making the Commission and essential service in a growing province. Ridership dropped only because routes and schedules were cut. It seems Wall’s government is “of, by and for” the corporate elite, and the people can go hang!

What's next? Our schools and health care? Police and prisons? They're not making a profit either.
Hey, Rachel, Alberta is looking good!
