To listen to Regina-Qu'Appelle MP Andrew Scheer smugly tell us that the federal Conservatives are just being prudent in not supporting things such as a new stadium in Regina even as they are pouring billions into Ontario and Quebec is a little too much to take.
The reality is that we have a prime minister who places little value in any promise or commitment that doesn't yield the additional seats he needs for a majority government.
And he's already got about as many Conservative seats out of Saskatchewan as he will get.
The other truth is that we've elected a bunch of Conservative MPs who put their party's interests -- and perhaps their own cabinet aspirations -- ahead of standing up for Saskatchewan and the people who elected them.
So when the Conservatives come knocking on your door with their list of what they've supposedly done for you, you might want to remind them of what they haven't done.
All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind.
