downsized
Our provincial NDP government has downsized Saskatchewan for the purpose to save money,

stimulate economic growth, and provide efficient public services, and instead we are spending

more money, we are experiencing the worst economic predicament of any other province, and

our public services are deteriorating.

Andrew
Thomson
And when the Saskatchewan Party put a non-confidence vote for the governmental dismal

job creation record⁽¹⁾, MLA Andrew Thomson retorted

"They don't talk about the job growth which has been steadily increasing during that time period, year over year over year. What they focus in on Mr. Deputy Speaker, are the negatives."

recession
So, we have governments which are continuing their economic direction driven by cheating

the public and focusing on the positives, and this reminds me of our financial analysts who

predict ever growing stock values by trying not to murmur the letter "R" for recession.

Focusing on the positives without learning does nothing else but reinforce the spiraling

breakdown of our own individual freedom.

learning
Focusing on the negatives is as bad as focusing on the positives. We have to focus on

learning how to create our own well being together rather than how to create additional

Gross Domestic Product for the few and privileged.

police
state
I already mentioned how Roy Romanow and Jean Chretien have been creating discretional

new laws out of current laws⁽²⁾, and this same decrepit legal mind set of our governments

has been castigated by journalist Terence Corcoran of the National Post⁽³⁾. Corcoran has

recently stated that Canada is one step closer to a police state, that our police has the power

to break the law to enforce the law, and that new laws and regulations are turning bankers,

lawyers and accountants into government spies on their customers.

Nortel
In the meantime, without mentioning the letter "R" we have big business Nortel Network

telling the world that another 10,000 employees are being laid off for a total of 30,000

employees. So, as governments continue to constrain our individual freedom, so their big

corporate friends continue to make money at the expense of common people.
