Sask Youth Summit, John Tzupa, and Typical NDP Hypocrisy

I have been meaning to post this all week but haven’t had the time. Nevertheless, I felt it was worth mentioning. The first weekend in February, I attended the Saskatchewan Youth Summit in Saskatoon. It was a blatant NDP love-in. The final resolutions that were hurriedly thrown together on the last day by NDP hacks were presented on orange and black PowerPoint slides. The resolutions were socialist solutions to the province’s problems. It is ironic that much of the reason that we have the problems we do in this province is due to the socialism that has plagued this province for decades. So when looking for an obvious solution to them, it’s obviously more socialism, right? It is sad that the socialism is so ingrained in our society that the youth of today know no other answer but to rely on government if problems need to be fixed. Following this waste of time, the youth were wined and dined as Pat Atkinson bragged to them about the great things that the government of Saskatchewan are doing. After being lied to by the Honourable Minister, they were treated to a dance to the music of Saskatchewan bands with lovely Orange lighting to subliminally influence their impressionable minds.

What perhaps is of even greater interest is the fact that one of the principle organizers of the summit, John Tzupa, was conveniently nominated Sunday night – once the summit was over – as the candidate in the Martensville by-election. It is convenient for Tzupa that the campaign didn’t start until the organization for the summit was complete. It is typical of the NDP that they would take care of their own first. It is perhaps even more typical that they would unabashedly try to pass off what is a clear election tactic organized by the President of the Young Dippers who will later run for them in a subsequent by-election as a non-partisan event so that it can be paid for by tax payers rather than the party coffers.

It should also be noted that sacrificial lamb, Tzupa, is on record criticizing the fact that the Saskatchewan Party ran Dustin Duncan in the Weyburn-Big Muddy by-election because he didn’t live in the riding at the time of the election, despite having been born and raised there. Now, Tzupa is hypocritically running as a parachute candidate in Martensville. This is yet another demonstration of NDP hypocrisy and arrogance.
