Paving the way

for giving their own supporters jobs. Nothing like setting up a trough for your friends to line up at. The same thing happened in the 1980's under Grant Devine.

Purge of Sask. civil service harmful: political scientist

While some might say that this is the way that all political parties work, it's unusual for there to be a purge of career civil servants who have no political affiliations. This sort of thing happens most under right-wing governments who have a very exaggerated sense of entitlement and are used to running businesses as their own personal fiefdoms. It'll likely only be a matter of time before the Sask. Party people start going to jail, much as they did under Devine. And the taxpayers pay, again and again...

Then, as now, the provincial gov't is but a microcosm of the federal. The current fiasco about Chalk River being one such.

Ah.. the days of the Devine Government... who can forget the two idiots from STC who asked for their bribes upfront.....
