I wish my Father in Law was still with us. Back in the day, he was a high ranking member of the NDP government in SK under Allan Blakeney. Over the years he became more conservative and we had conversations about how today's NDP wasn't remotely the same as when he was in the party. He left us 2.5 years ago and this is, seemingly, beyond what the NDP was even then. This is absolutely absurd and I would love to hear what he would have to say about this. As has been pointed out by others, this would be comical if it wasn't so fucked up, although, that's what makes it comical.
