Swift Current NDP News

The SP platform doesn’t suggest anything new but is built on the NDP platform. Listening to the Sask Party platform I find it necessary to point out what B Wall isn’t saying. Presently, provincial tax is not charged on a used car that is less than $3000. That will save people a lot of money.
The tuition money they will get when they graduate will not help them to pay their tuition while attending. How many students will be able to pay the tuition in the first place?
A lot of new ideas – spoken by the glib B Wall.

David Anderson’s flyer in the mail today states
In the 2007 federal budget, Canada’s Conservative government supported programs to combat elder abuse and fraud.
The Government of Canada expanded the New Horizons for Seniors program by $10 million a year to achieve these goals. (He hasn’t used the New Government lately.)
And the NDP voted AGAINST it.

It is very interesting that rumours abound about a provincial election call and we receive this propaganda discussing the federal budget. Wasn't the federal budget 2007 delivered quite a while back? Suddenly, in Anderson’s eyes, it becomes very important that the federal NDP voted against it. This isn’t the first brochure Anderson has put out promoting Brad which makes me wonder why his supporters aren’t questioning his actions. Is Anderson using federal advertising money to help Brad in Sask? Is this another wolf in sheep’s clothing? Usually you hear the “you can’t trust a liberal” rhetoric but suddenly it is the NDP.
There has been a clear message from Anderson in the brochures that have arrived in our mail boxes - Don't trust his or Harper's word.
Transparent, honest, dictatorial government that we have now. Ha!
How does that saying go? Lower than a snake’s belly?
