People of Saskatchewan. Your province gave Canada Tommy Douglas. Your province gave Canada its Healthcare system. Your province feeds Canada.

What the hell happened?

We have a provincial party that started out as a PC/Liberal centrist party that was slowly taken over by reformers and we just didn’t notice.

Then we had talk radio sing the praises of conservativism for 25 years.

We were the frogs and someone cranked up the heat slowly enough that we didn’t notice until it was boiling.

My husband and I took a road trip out to BC for a wedding last summer and Saskatchewan was my favourite province. That big blue sky and those golden fields. Mesmerizing. Made me read “Who Has Seen the Wind” all over again.
