The saskparty and the local socialists (NDP) are very different. And though, as an american, bernie sanders might or might not map well on this divide...I'd imagine he's probably more on the NDP/socialist side of things ie willing to *fix* the mess here rather than intentionally make it worse
@jeffcliff@feld@lhubich you say it's intentionally making things worse, but I'm willing to bet most any of the responsible parties would argue that their intention was to improve conditions. It's easy for good intentions to have bad outcomes. But I'm sure your intentional improvements will be great :sunglasses_cowboy:
Looking at how the NDP were more than happy to serve the interests of foreign corporations (to the ultimate financial detriment of the British Columbian taxpayer and Canadian workers since up to 70% of the workers were to be foreign imports) during their approval of Pacific NorthWest LNG on the coast, the Socialists will fit in just fine with the Saskatchewan status quo. The only reason the NDP in BC make a big deal of how many "Candian jobs" LNG creates is because their tax and worker concessions were leaked several years ago.
