Positively Negative
for paNOW
The NDP did some spectacular spin-doctoring after their biggest defeat in ages.
“We ran a positive campaign,” was the theme of their rush to cover the horrible results of an election that was a foregone conclusion. Nobody foresaw the disastrous results for the NDP though, in either camp.
If the NDP wanted to run a positive campaign, they would have had Dwain Lingenfelter resign before, not after, the election. Even when he is trying to be as positive as can be, he is negative. No one had forgotten 'the loser' comment. It, and other comments about Wall and the Saskatchewan Party turned everything he did sour for him. The former leader put the resources managements on high alert. His plans to give everybody something super, at the expense of the potash corporations in particular, made a lot of people nervous. If an NDP provincial government demanded too much, would the corporations go elsewhere? There is lots of potash 'elsewhere'.
