What they say |
What they mean |
|
“Austerity” |
“More cuts. More privatization. More chaos.” |
|
“Balanced Budgets” |
“Crown Corporation Firesale.” |
|
“Justin Trudeau” |
“Please think about anything but our record.” |
|
“Urgent Care Centres” |
“Ignore that we just announced 4 years of austerity and cuts to healthcare.” |
|
“They’ll drive up the deficit” |
“You don’t deserve healthcare that’s there when you need it.” |
|
“They’ll raise taxes” |
“Everyone’s forgotten the PST hike, right?” |
|
“Carbon Tax” |
“Please please please forget the PST hike.” |

“The Last NDP government…” |
“We are totally out of new ideas. The tank is empty.” |
Scott Moe and the Sask. Party have been in power, and taking people for granted, for too long. Their answer to every problem is more cuts, more privatization and more chaos – with families paying the price.
Saskatchewan can do better.
