The Political Mission Of Premier Romanow:

|
By Mario deSantis, April 18, 1999 |
|
| The state of confusion, mismanagement and trust disintegration of our politicians and | |
|
a planned |
bureaucrats has reached a new momentum with the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses |
| (SUN) strike and their just defiance to the back-to-work legislation, a law conceptualized | |
| within the chronic bad faith mentality of our Premier Roy Romanow(1). Last Thursday, | |
| as I casually talked to Timothy Shire(2), I recounted how sickening this governmental | |
| administration is getting in pursuing a planned and hidden public policy of dividing | |
| people(3) and maintaining a state of permanent confusion where only the powerful and | |
| the privileged are the winners. I mentioned to Timothy, that only a few people are realizing | |
| how Premier Romanow is a subtle man of division, who uses the ancient Roman policy | |
| of "break and conquer" in order to maintain his political power. | |
| We are now in 1999 and at a time when we appreciate our differences and come | |
|
at a time |
together by communicating all over the world through the Internet and doing business |
| within a global village, this policy of "break and conquer" is regressive and should not | |
| be tolerated anymore and anywhere, especially in Saskatchewan. I went on to say | |
| how last Wednesday, while watching the news on TV, I became disturbed in listening | |
| to Greg Trew, union official with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). | |
| In announcing the reaching of a tentative agreement with the Saskatchewan | |
| Association of Health Organizations (SAHO), Greg Trew thanked Premier Romanow | |
| for his participation in this dispute. Here we are in the middle of the nurses strike, | |
| at a time when all unions and concerned citizens should sympathize for the retention | |
| of our rights to freely negotiate collective agreements, and we have a union spokesman | |
| thanking Premier Romanow. | |
| We have now a union against another union and both of them are in healthcare! | |
|
"...you win some and you lose some..." |
This is the master mind of our leader Premier Romanow, who when asked |
| if he should take some credit for brokering this deal replied "...you win some and | |
| you lose some..."(4) The visionary mentality of our Premier is showing its true color | |
| and becoming much clearer: a number game again(5) and again(6) within the | |
| governmental mission of "break and conquer". | |
