It’s a powerful call to action and a reminder for both the governed and those who seek to lead them—that playing small serves no one.” -Senator Pamela Wallin.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThis is the story, Wallin says, “of Saskatchewan becoming a place where hope really does beat fear and where today, any party that claims moral superiority rather than a better idea does so at its peril.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eEdgy and thought-provoking, Left Out takes aim at the NDP, SK's natural governing party since the 1940s. Outspoken broadcaster and writer JG pulls no punches in an entertaining and informative rant that is as much a lament as a call to action on Saskatchewan politics. From the hundreds of thousands of people who fled the province to Saskatchewan’s decline in influence, Gormley pins this and more on successive NDP governments, particularly the Calvert NDP of the early 2000s. With a keen political insider’s eye, Gormley analyzes the elections of 2003 and 2007, Saskatchewan ’s finances and nearly a dozen political scandals which rocked the province in the early 2000s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe book also features an engaging and funny prescription for fixing Saskatchewan’s historic bad attitude and leaves no one unscathed, from powerful union leaders to a business community that often allows its own victimization at the hands of the political left. LEFT OUT challenges all of us to re-engage in politics for the sake of our Saskatchewan . The book will appeal especially to political junkies who love the chatter on coffee row, and the whispers in the halls of the Saskatchewan Legislature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor more info on this Author, please see: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.saskpower.com\/about-us\/senior-leadership\/board-members\/john-gormley\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eJohn Gormley, K.C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.saskpower.com\/about-us\/senior-leadership\/board-members\/john-gormley\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e1st Edition \u0026amp; Signed by Author  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eISBN: 9780986693601  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eGC\u0026amp;C Stock #5121\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47899146420454,"sku":"5121","price":35.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/6212\/8614\/files\/5121_1.jpg?v=1781726962","url":"https:\/\/gillmore.ca\/products\/left-out-saskatchewans-ndp-and-the-relentless-pursuit-of-mediocrity-by-john-gormley-1st-ed-signed","provider":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
