For the record

For the record, the author of this blog wrote to John Gormley with a request that is reasonable and relevant to Saskatchewan politics. Here is a copy of the email that was sent to him on April 16, 2010.


Dear Mr. Gormley
I listen to your show everyday and have written to you before. I would like to suggest that you bring Mr. Rick Swenson onto your show one morning as a guest. Mr. Swenson is with the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan and he is a past leader of the party. I know that you once sat in the House of Commons as a PC MP and I am sure that you have met Mr. Swenson in the past. Mr. Swenson is a gifted speaker and has insight into the current political landscape in Saskatchewan and it would be refreshing to hear him on your show.

Just a suggestion but it does get a little dull on the daily radio waves hearing only of the ongoing sparring between the NDP party and the Saskatchewan Party. Mr. Swenson would have some unique observations that your listeners would, I am confident, enjoy.

Your sincerely
XXXXXXXX

An update-
Well John Gormley sure slammed this blog today. He has sided completely with the Saskatchewan party staffers who do the bizzaro world opposite version of this blog. This morning he used every one of their lines word for word. This is Saskatchewan party radio. Don't count on hearing Rick Swenson on his show. In Gormley's world anyone who is not supporting the Saskatchewan party is an NDP. He forgets that PC's, Liberals and Greens also disagree with the Saskatchewan party and have a voice in a democracy. All you are going to hear on Gormley live is whatever the Saskatchewan party wants him to do. Word to the wise, if you ever write to Gormley be ready for him to break confidence and use your name on the air. Classy.
