Things of Concern
Nov. 5th, 2019 05:49 amI used to live in Regina. For a decade. Until I graduated high school. So this lead-in-the-water issue matters. Yes, it was decades ago. But I'm not sure that it matters.
Depending on which other cities and towns are affected to what degrees, that problem might be a contributing factor in the "Wexit" mess. Certainly not the only one. I expect international oil industry money has a hand in it, too. And a century or so's worth of cultural conditioning going back to fostering of resentment of Laurier's decision to not allow One Big Province where Alberta and Saskatchewan now stand. You could call Frederick Haultain a political ancestor of Manning, Klein, Kenney and Wall as a result of this 1905 mess.
There's the ongoing transit confusions. More wordage needed than I can spare right now for that. Because I've got to get to work shortly.
