The notoriously weak Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce comes out swinging against SP/Leader Post columnist and NDP apologist Murray Mandryk
Murray Mandryk is completely off base in saying an argument for changing potash royalties is "(Bill) Doyle's vast personal wealth created via the Saskatchewan people's resource."
I can't think of a weaker argument. It's rooted in envy, and reflects the very reason we were a have-not province for so many years. The idea seems to be that Saskatchewan people somehow are losers because a world-class CEO has built a successful company here and is rewarded handsomely by his employer.
It's about time, Steve... Let's just see if you can continue down this new found path.

The Saskatchewan COC Grows a Pair

If you've ever owned a business in this province you will know how difficult it is to stand up to the NDP when they are in power.
It's document in Robert Tyre's book "Douglas in Saskatchewan" that the CCF would stop government advertising with the Leader-Post if they published an unfavorable article on the CCF.
During the SPUDCO scandal, former NDP cabinet minister, Maynard Sonntag, is documented with holding payment to a greenhouse in hopes of bankrupting them.
My father has fought the NDP for over 30 years in a variety of businesses and it was never easy and always very dirty.
Sure, the COC hasn't taken on the NDP for their anti-business ways, but, when you consider the CCF/NDP were once called "The Saskatchewan Mafia" for their strong arm tactics and shakedowns, can you really blame the COC for not wanting to fight the socialist army of lawyers?
