A Saskatchewan Way Of Economic Growth:
Good Psychology

stupid statement
It was two years ago, at the time of my youngest son's high school graduation that I heard

from the master of ceremony that in accordance to the United Nations Human Development

Index, Saskatchewan was the best place to live in the world. As I heard such stupid comment,

and I want to point out that every absolute statement is a stupid statement, I raised my

eyebrows and told my sons James and Eric "here we go again with another B.S.; instead to

be constructive, have a vision and work for a better future, we continue to live in our past

glory."

sobering tale
So, as I read the article How do I measure thee? Let me count the ways⁽¹⁾ by Jeffrey Simpson,

journalist with The Globe and Mail, I don't feel alone with my sense of alienation in

understanding our politicians and bureaucrats. In this article, Simpson states that Canada is

not number one among industrialized countries and that The Conference Board of Canada

has developed a much more comprehensive set of yardsticks by which to measure Canada's

international performance against six other countries. Simpson says that these yardsticks

comparing Canada to the United States, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Australia and Japan tell a

sobering tale and he is disappointed by our sunshine patriots who govern us and who continue

to expose this Canada No 1 fallacy.

skewing of information
As I have been publishing my articles on Ensign, I have gradually appreciated the outright

abuses of power of this government, their lying,their skewing of information and their pursuing

of social growth by the so called good psychology. The truth is that we must forget the use of

the good psychology approach to run our business, and be realistic in appreciating our social

conditions and in creating our own future.

deceiving ourselves
We in Saskatchewan are not No 1, and we will be No 1 only at the time when we are going to do

better than in the past and not when we are going to compare ourselves to others! We must stop

deceiving ourselves, but then, how can anyone help when we hear Minister of Health Pat Atkinson

saying that the problem of our medical specialists leaving the province is due to "personality

conflicts"which are not conducive to "a positive environment⁽²⁾."
