Solidarity is not for ever!

A message for our insulting Barb Byers: Solidarity is not for ever!

By Mario deSantis, November 3, 1999

This coalition government has been formed by giving the finger⁽¹⁾ to the Saskatchewan electorate

urging Labour to mend fences with the government and beat back the Saskatchewan Party and it is now looking for any assistance to stay in power and further shrink this province to

greatness. The last convention of the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour (SFL) was attended

by Joanne Crofford, Minister of Labour, and her entourage of more than 10 cabinet ministers

and MLAs. At this convention, the president of the SFL, Barb Byers, has been urging Labour

to mend fences with the government and beat back the Saskatchewan Party⁽²⁾. She told SFL

members that the Saskatchewan Party is anti-labour and compared it to the Nazis by saying

"...In my darkest moments I half expect to wake up some morning, be listening to the radio,

and hear the Saskatchewan party has decided to invade Poland...⁽³⁾" Asked to apologise for

such insulting remark Byers responded "...my only regret is that I can't tell a joke better..."

Barb Byers is another hypocritical Tin Pot dictator getting to the side of our socialist Premier

she urges the members to support a Premier with a dictatorial track record against union members Roy Romanow. Instead to distance the SFL from any political affiliation, she urges the members

to support a Premier with a dictatorial track record against union members and against the people

of Saskatchewan. Byers has forgotten that the NDP locked out SaskPower employees and then

ordered them back to work, and that the NDP passed the alleged unconstitutional back-to-work

legislation against the nurses⁽⁴⁾. This government has done nothing to create wealth and allow a

sense of freedom for its people. Every sector of the economy is stagnant, agriculture is in

desperate conditions, health care is in a shamble, the WCB is defrauding the people⁽⁵⁾, SGI

is asking insurance claimants to take polygraphs tests, and the list goes on. Our future is in

our children and their education and yet we have a vision built on a mausoleum: the

Synchrotron⁽⁶⁾.

I have this simple message for Barb Byers: times have changed and solidarity is not for ever!
