The left in Saskatchewan and Canada needs to re-discover its sense of boldness and challenge the status quo. This leaflet from 1973 reflects a time when it was thought posssible that radical social change could be brought about. Many proposals caught the public imagination.
The campaign to create a publicly owned oil industry, from well to pump, was one Waffle initiative. "Sask Oil, It Can Be Done" demonstrated the strength of the left as the Saskatchewan NDP set up a water-downed version in the 1970's.
The left needs to organize and be bold once again.
