On positive discussions

Anybody who's been keeping tabs primarily on the Sask Party's actions over the past little while may be wondering if there's anything at all positive happening in Saskatchewan politics. Fortunately, the answer is "yes", as the Saskatchewan NDP's policy renewal process got underway last weekend - and for those who couldn't make it, there's plenty of information available about the proceeedings.

In particular, Kent has blogged about his impressions of the event, while the NDP itself has posted videos and slideshows from the forum. And even better, the party is facilitating the generation of new ideas by anybody interested in sharing them.

Of course, the most important part of the policy review will be working with those ideas to shape the NDP's vision - and that's the one part of the Moose Jaw proceedings which isn't yet being made public. But at the very least, Saskatchewan citizens can take heart that at least one party is working to encourage discussion and debate about where the province is headed - and hopefully we'll see many more people involved as the process continues.
