Reader Letters - Star Phoenix
Were it not for the flat-earthers in Trumpville, Alberta, we in Saskatchewan would be the laughingstock of this country. Imagine the modifying shame of it all if Alberta didn’t exist.
Minister of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety Christine Tell speaks at an event at the Regina Wildlife Federation on Monday, September 27, 2021 near White City.

We have a premier who must have missed the day at school his teacher taught arithmetic , and who doesn’t know if his ministers vet who is invited to sit in the public gallery.
A minister of public safety who states that it doesn’t bother her that a convicted murderer was a guest of the government for last week’s throne speech as “he’s a free citizen.”
And yet she won’t allow the RCMP to use provincial funds to assist in the federal handgun buy-back program, stating that the “handgun freeze” will not “in any significant way affect actual crime.”
In fact, the individual who sat in the gallery for the throne speech is on full life parole. The federal gun program is not a freeze or confiscation, it’s a buy-back program. Why does the program have to reduce crime in a “significant” manner? If it saves only one life, is that not worth it? What is an “actual” crime?

Police training must have been very different back when Ms. Tell graduated.
Then we have the minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority, who must have been in the premier’s math class, stating that the government is getting out of retail liquor sales because the stores could start losing money, even though they are currently profitable.
Oh, the shame of it all. Thank God for Alberta.
