New CEP Propaganda


"He was quite specific about considering the sell off of
SecurTek, and theSaskTel internet service."


The NDP Boogeyman is out full force on that comment. This flyer is being handed out to SaskTel employees and union members of other crowns as well.

I am a SaskTel employee and TOTALLY supporting the Saskatchewan Party. Many of my co-workers also support and in fact, assist on campaigns.

Every election the unions send out this bunk; only this time the jig is up.

My message to the CEP local 1-S people:

Your rank and file membership is not buying any more of your bunk. We are unhappy with the fact that the union brass and the management team are in cahoots in everything that goes on. We know the union is in bed with the NDP, who dictates what the management team does. How is that for the benefit of the workers? It only benefits the full time union workers and NDP hacks.

We, the unionized members, will not be fooled again!

Goodbye Lorne Calvert...we'll see you in hell Reverend.

I'm pleased that many SaskTel employees are realizing that they have been pawns in a political game, where only the NDP and union brass have benefitted.

I, like you, look forward to the election and wish you great fortune and happiness at your place of work.

CEP should learn to spell 'integrity', something they have a complete lack of by wasting their members' money on this partisan garbage.

Thanks for the support boogeyman!

I don't see myself at SaskTel much longer in the future. SaskTel can't compete in the markets they are in due to the small size in relation to their competitors.

When directors are stepping down from a firm, that does not instill confidence in the management team. They are usually the first to bail off a sinking ship.

"In those areas where the Crowns continue to compete against private industry … that's an area where we may need to look at directing those Crown corporations in a different direction," D'Autremont said in an interview.

Initially, the veteran Sask. Party MLA told the Leader-Post he was wrong because he had been out of the country and didn't know the policy on ending competition with the private sector in areas like SecurTek has been changed "two or three weeks ago."

However, later Friday D'Autremont again contacted the Leader-Post and said he was wrong for a second time. Since February 2005, the Sask. Party policy is only to "review" competition and that policy wasn't recently changed, D'Autremont said.

D'Autremont is:
- a founding and high-ranking member of the Sask Party;
- Vice Chair of the Crown and Central Agencies Committee;
- Deputy Critic for the major commercial Crown Corporations (Sask Power, Sask Tel, Sask Energy and SGI);
- Chair of the Crown and Central Agencies caucus committee.

And you want me to believe he doesn't know what he's talking about? Give me a fucking break.

Deron, do you believe it is the job of the govt to compete with private business? I'm just wondering. Personally I don't know why they have to be involved in as many ares as they are when the private sector cold do it. I think that the Sask Party believes in selling some of the crowns but don't have the political will to do it. They have been emphatic about not doing it and I don't think they could ever get away with it.

Soup:

My beliefs on the Crowns are irrelevant to this discussion. The Sask Party has been emphatic about selling the Crowns, not keeping them: we heard Hermanson say that he would dismantle them in 2003, and we heard D'Autremont, amidst furious backpedaling,
restate this policy during this election.

Brad Wall lied to Saskatchewan's people when he said the Sask Party would not sell the Crowns. He lied because this is their last shot at government, and if he doesn't win, the party will collapse. He, and the rest of the Sask Party candidates, are saying anything to get elected. And if you don't believe that, take a another look at D'Autremont's pedigree and tell me, like Wall did, that he didn't know what he was saying.

Deron, you are deliberately distorting things; why?

Deron said...

Pavlov:

I've sourced everything in my comment. How am I distorting things?

The NDP Boogeyman said...

He, and the rest of the Sask Party candidates, are saying anything to get elected.

Did you source that too, deron?

Opinions are not sources...

Deron sourced nothing; Deron Deliberately distorts again.

Deron said...

Thank you, anonymous, for the alliteration. It looks like we can always count on you to add... nothing.

Let me say again, I sourced everything in my original comment. Do any of you want to argue those points?

I'm betting no.

Here's the link for Wall claiming D'Autremont was "literally making stuff up": (at CBC)

And here, for anyone who cares, is a link to the Sask Party Code of Ethics: (via Google)

Please note the section under disseminating false information that reads, "Members shall use care to avoid disseminating false information
and shall not knowingly do so."

But so much for that, I guess; the Sask Party cares so little for ethics that a panel wasn't even convened over D'Autremont's actions.

In fact, the whole Code of Ethics has been conveniently stripped from the Sask Party's website.

I wonder which points they were concerned with breaching?

Daron, you are lying about 2003, you are lying about the Crowens; that is what you have failed to source- and what's sad is that you know that you;re lying; that makes you very unpleasant.

and I think that its the NDP that has a hidden secret agenda to eradicate all private enterpirse and make us all "work" for the government; a secret agenda to nationalize all industires and resoureces; and a secret p[lan to make Deron a manager of the world's largest collective farm, and create a huge gulag in Northern Saskatchewqan for reprogramming those that resist.
