    As a person from Regina, our incumbent politicians are bought and paid for by O+G and local conservative interests align to these values, you can’t even get an MP or MLA to talk without them interjecting party rhetoric and official letters come back with generic party templates, rather than actual human interest.

    It sadly doesn’t shock me that this pseudo-grassroot movement is backed by the same vested party interests, this is just another funnel to hire fresh faces in order to perpetuate the rhetoric as “concerned citizens” and keep towing the party line of government of do-nothings rather than to be honest, accountable or actionable.

    Furthermore, these same cretins actively fund private schools with tax dollars that churn out ACE junk educations and sexually abuse kids in the process (search for “Aaron Travis Benneweis” for proof)

    All of this is in order to create a base of conservative-voting true believers that will jump when you tell them to, all from the pulpit.

    Welcome to Regina, I hope you enjoy the experience

      I grew up in Regina (aka Vagina). Left there over 45 years ago.

      I see not much has changed. :/

        Being stuck nearly 50 years behind the times is a succinct way of describing Saskatchewan as a whole.
