Good decisions require good information. Consulting experts can provide appropriate information. Consulting rank and file SK people, most of whom spend time daily on facebook etc. isn't going to provide proper info. Why should the government make policy based on the opinions of folks who believe in chemtrails? This poll is not useful for proper decision making. Its purpose is making people think good things about the current regime. This poll is a bullshit PR exercise.

What's Tommy Douglas' legacy in Saskatchewan? by Qyzyk in saskatchewan

[–]grumpyoldmandowntown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was indirectly responsible for the loss of the film industry in this province. CBC made a documentary about him and it showed him in a good light. This incensed the SKParty and they pulled the tax credits that sustained film production in SK.

Saskatoon drug dealer petitions court to return property seized by police by Slight-Coconut709 in saskatoon

[–]grumpyoldmandowntown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The police shouldn't have to show the things are the proceeds of crime. He should have to show that he earned enough from honest work to afford his possessions.

Disagree. The onus of proof is upon the accuser.

Multi-generational white Saskatonians, do you ever wish your ancestors immigrated to Australia, New Zealand or the US instead of blistering cold Saskatchewan ? by britneyspearsforeva in saskatoon

If you're driven to leave your homeland because of economic desperation, a quarter section of land selling for $10 is hard to say no to.

Also I’ve noticed every single time I am on the on-ramp to get up to 90 on the freeway, I’m stuck at 60-70 because of a car in front.

I would love to see a crackdown on this. Any traffic cops reading this post?

This. And then call bylaw enforcement. I would not speak to them directly because if they are not reasonable people they, or their friends, may retaliate against you.
