Civics they maybe know, spelling not quite so!

One hopes this is not an indication as to the state of education in the province of Saskatchewan.

The Opposition Saskatchewan Party recently aired a TV commercial across the province that outlined what the party might do for the province if it ever forms a government there.

First thing might be to spell the province's name right. In the commercial which featured leader Brad Wall, Saskatchewan appeared on a backdrop missing the letter "e", changing the name of the province to Saskatchwan. Perhaps there is a subliminal message involved here, something like cutting costs by cutting letters was the intention of the ad.

The spelling woes continued for the opposition as they put out a press release stating some of the party's goals should it ever take the reigns of government in the province, only problem was that government was missing the letter "n".

That day may be delayed a bit, while the party faithful take a few remedial English lessons and brush up on their spelling. After all if you can't spell the word government, are you really fit to be the government?

The good news for the Saskatchewan party is that there are only 24 more letters to the alphabet and they'll be home free! Here to help them out, is a brief refresher course in the A-B-C's.
