We have covered quite extensively the pitfalls of Saskatchewan's No Fault insurance and no matter what our government and our corporate gurus are saying what matters is what we expressed in June 2000, that is "No-Fault is not an administrative matter, it is a political matter, it affects all of us."

We are witnessing the widespread corruption in our political, business and economic system and this is the result of the preaching of the gospel of the Free Market under the social credo of unbridled Greed. Greed is the omnipresent value system of the Free Market, and Greed has been institutionalized in our legal system as our sold out gurus have been correlating (and equating) Accounting and Economics to Law.

We don't need the Law anymore for pursuing justice as the Law has become the efficient vehicle to optimize the scarce social resources in accordance to the so-called demand and supply of the market place. And so the Government of Saskatchewan is planning the passage of Bill 57 to optimize our auto insurance in accordance to the accounting and economic gurus of our corporate Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI). And if the implementation of Bill 57 will not be enough to optimize the accounting and economics of auto insurance, then our government will use its managerial techniques of spying and lying on claimants and people at large.

Lorie Terry, spokesperson for the Coalition Against No Fault insurance, has recently stated

"We do not believe that SGI has any intentions of letting Tort succeed, but that to the contrary will sabotage the tort program by raising premiums making it an unaffordable two tiered system, which will again take away the rights of Saskatchewan citizens."

I agree with Lorie Terry. This government will give us the choice of No Fault along with the option of a Tort system, but in the end, we can't trust this Saskatchewan Government as they continue to spy and lie on us.
