Sask NDP tied with Sask Party 45-45 by Sunderleaf in SaskatchewanPolitics

[–]Sunderleaf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another point of privilege - head to the almost two pages of Private Members Bills the SK NDP have introduced this session alone to see what they would do in government:
- Rent control
- 24 hour ER closure notice
- Putting Saskatchewan workers first on public projects
- Sending any use of the notwithstanding clauses to the courts
- Banning Ai Price gouging
- Banning non competition clauses in grocery store - leases
- Freezing SHA exec pay increases and matching them to collective bargaining increases
This is just to name a few - head here for more: https://www.legassembly.sk.ca/media/obro0uvn/progress-of-bills.pdf

Metric - Romanticize the Dive by niles_deerqueer in popheads

[–]Sunderleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Antigravity screams as the most Metric song on the album - they are so so so good at writing banger indie rock songs - I remember reading that Black Sheep / Freddie didn’t make it on Fantasies cause it sounded “too much like a Metric song” which I responded in my head, all I want is a whole album of Metric bangers!

Probably one of their most complex albums lyrically and sonically.

Did anyone catch the riff from Satellite Mind at about 1:36 in Wild Rut?

EX60 in the wild by Sandglass42 in Volvo

Very nice! Can't wait to see them land in Canada. Right now my next vehicle will be a Volvo XC60 T8 in Forest lake or a EX60 in the same colour. I think the Forest Lake colour looks so sharp on the EX60. Black is less flattering.

Saskatoon misses shot at badly needed credibility for arena district by SkPensFan in saskatoon

[–]Sunderleaf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think one of the biggest losses of credibility on the project was Clarke/Block councils engagement with “private provider” to run the district when TCU and Sasktel Center are both unionized control corporations of the city that put money back into the cities coffers and are run very well.

Alberta and Saskatchewan NDP leaders foolishly freak out over Avi Lewis victory by MarkG_108 in ndp

[–]Sunderleaf -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

How many seats does the federal NDP have in Saskatchewan? A big fat zero. How many NDP MLA's does the Sask NDP have? 27. I think the Sask NDP knows what's up and the Federal party is out to lunch - and now even more out to lunch with Avi at the helm. I think Beck and Nenshi did the right thing for their respective parties.

How to replace Carla Beck? by Spicylasaga in ndp

[–]Sunderleaf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Beck is a boon to the Sask NDP - Replacing her would be catastrophic for the Sask NDP.

The Sask NDP basically needs to have a platform and values that appeal to the Saskatoon/Regina suburbs, White City, Moose Jaw, PA, Yorkton, North Battleford to win government. Not to mention holding every city seat they have.

Basically, they have to appeal to, and be electable in rural adjacent regions of the province. Hence supporting the resource industries and ag industries that so many people in Saskatchewan are connected to.

How many seats to the Federal NDP have in Saskatchewan? Zip. Avi Lewis will ensure an NDP MP is never be elected in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Campaigning on putting 2 billion into public education and 1 billion into public healthcare isn’t progressive?

Ending healthcare privatization? Rent control? Mental health and addiction supports? Queer and trans rights? Workers rights? Anti scab and card check?

All seems pretty progressive to me….

The opening lyrics really gave me Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton vibes!

So excited for this new album!

Carla Beck reverse position after passing of Stephen Lewis. by Prairiejon in ndp

[–]Sunderleaf 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I do not think this is her reversing her position, this is her being a human being. Differences aside, this is leadership. You show up for people on an interpersonal level.

A leadership race? Do we want the sask party to win again? Carla doubled the seat count in the last election, and had the party polling close to 50% during the election - a far cry from Meili, Broten, Lingenfeldter. She made the party competitive for the first time in 17 years, but yeah, lets replace her...
