one step forward....two steps retraction, anyone want to dance?

So here we are again, doing the Sask Party dance..

Despite statements that the newly elected Brad Wall will work with groups and have consultation with all parties affected by new legislation, the Sask Government is going to move ahead on essential services legislation and talk to stakeholders about it"later".

Labour Minister Rob Norris says consultations will take place after the legislation is put forward during the fall session of the legislature, which starts Monday.
He says the Saskatchewan Party government will move ahead with the bill, but adds that he'll listen to ideas from business and labour groups later. http://www.canadaeast.com/business/article/148924

Premier Brad Wall said Thursday his health minister made a mistake when he ruled out essential services legislation as an Opposition member just days before a provincial election call.

McMorris told reporters Thursday he had misspoke in October but he could not explain why that occurred. "I have been informed and I should have known this absolutely that our leader and now the premier had talked about all the different options ... not excluding legislation and I was not aware of that," he said.

Even Murray Mandryk is questioning the back peddle!! http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/news/viewpoints/story.html?id=7d7976c7-6f3c-410b-9d7e-0e94ba6dec57

So if I pretend I am at my old High School Dance;
Step forward - D'Autremont is selling the Crowns,
Step back - Brad Wall says Dan is wrong
Step back - to be decided shortly
Step forward - Vote for Hickie is a vote for the Mill,
Step back - Brad Wall says Darryl was wrong
Step back - Wall scraps MOU
Step forward - No need to legislate essential services,
Step back - Wall says McMorris is wrong
Step back - Legislation slated for Dec 10th

To make matters even more scarier; Andy Iwanchuk, the NDP Labour Critic, (who deserves a blog just on him alone) comes out with a staggering rebuttal "What else to they have in store for us?"

So as the dance unfolds, I will need to get new dancing shoes, I think this is going to the dance of a lifetime and lord knows Iwanchuk isn't going to cut in at any time!!!!
