NDP-Liberal coalition |
In his acceptance speech, for the leadership of the NDP Party and as a consequence for |
the premiership of Saskatchewan, Lorne Calvert has confirmed the demagogic positioning | |
of his leadership by stating that he will work to maintain the NDP-Liberal coalition, to | |
counter what he calls the coalition of disaffected Liberals, disgraced Tories, and Reformers | |
who make up the Saskatchewan Party. | |
|
|
United Church at work |
Referring to his father who was a strong supporter of the Co-operative Commonwealth |
Federation (CCF), the forerunner of the NDP, Calvert said that he grew up with the doctrine | |
that the 'The only friend of the working man is the CCF.' Calvert also said that 'The NDP is | |
the United Church at work.' | |
|
|
Coalition Church Way |
So while Roy Romanow built the Saskatchewan's world for the Few and Privileged under |
the banners of the Saskatchewan Way and the Coalition Liberal Way, we can expect | |
Calvert to build on Romanow's pile with the new banners of the Working Man Way and | |
the Coalition Church Way. I ask myself, where is any learning way? | |
