One way to see the drive for austerity is as an application of a sort of reverse Hippocratic oath: “First, do nothing to mitigate harm”. For the people must suffer if neoliberal reforms are to prosper.

On minimum standards
Kudos to Joe Kuchta for his post on the Sask Party's minimum wage secrecy which has been picked up by the Saskatchewan NDP. But I do think it's worth wondering: is it more likely the Sask Party is hiding the Minimum Wage Board's review because it recommends positive changes to the minimum wage (such as the indexing planned for by the NDP), or because it succeeded in stacking the board to the point where the report itself attacks workers enough to be embarrassing to the Wall government?
