For the party that pretends to care about women's rights, it sure has an awful record of violating them.
Unfortunately, it seems that under the leadership of Dwain Lingenfelter, the harassment of women continues.
The latest example is that of Stephen Moore, Chief of Staff for the NDP Caucus.
"According to the Saskatchewan Party's Terri Harris the person was asking questions about the Last Stand Adventure Company that Brad Wall ran eleven years ago. Harris maintains the person did not identify themselves at the beginning of the call and Mrs Wall had to dig to find out exactly who was calling. Harris says when pressed the person said, "Stephen from the Legislature". Harris goes on to say when she asked further he said he was from the NDP"
This was not a mistake.
The fact that Moore did not immediately identify himself means that he completely aware of what he was doing. Identifying oneself as "from the Legislature" is not a typical introduction for ordinary citizens. This is a greeting you would expect only from someone who knew you knew a bit about politics. Such as Tami Wall.
No moral human being would call anyone's spouse at home and grill them about their husband's previous business activities. If Moore had a question about Premier Wall's previous business, he should have asked him directly.
But then again, this wasn't about the business. This was about something much more nefarious.
If a Sask Party staffer had called Rubiela Lingenfelter and inquired about Lingenfelter's land acquisitions, the NDP would immediately launch a complaint and demand that individual be fired.
And where exactly is the outrage from the female members of the NDP caucus? Where are the condemnations from Atkinson, Junor, Chartier or Morin? If the privacy of a conservative female is violated, that is acceptable to these standard bearers of women's rights? Such is the NDP double standard.
The fact that Lingenfelter has not fired or even reprimanded Moore speaks to the fact that he condones this conduct.
For Lingenfelter and the NDP, when it comes to trying to make political gains, it seems that nothing is sacred.

No surprizes here; the NDP worship Tommy Douglas who called single mothers "common prostitutes" and their children "imbeciles and morons".
When you tkae into consideration that the NDP have absolutely no problems with Douglas' treatment of women it explains why they are so comfortable with the likes of Murdock Carrier, Mark Stobbe and Robert Todd.
Politics have definately taken a turn towards the sleazy side since Link slithered back in an attempt to lead us all. What Arrogance!!! Keep up the good work here...and let's make sure stinky linky never becomes premier of this great province.
