NDP angered that Sask. doctors aren't covered by essential services laws

Provincial NDP leader Dwain Lingenfelter argues this highlights the inadequacies in the government's essential services law.

"If you are a right wing government that believes there should be essential services, how do you pick and choose who it will apply to?" he asked Thursday.

So let's see if I have this right...

The NDP doesn't like the essential services legislation. They and their buddies fought tooth and nail against it, both before it was passed and after it got royal ascent. We get it. They think that it's bad for their side, and they're right. But to now argue that MORE people should be covered by what they feel is a bad piece of legislation seems, I don't know, ironic at least and hypocritical at most. I hate to point this out to the NDP and the unions, but if you don't like a piece of legislation, you use the doctors' withdrawal of services to prove why the legislation SHOULDN'T BE THERE AT ALL, not to complain that the piece of legislation they don't like should apply to MORE people. It's using an exception to prove their own rule, and while it makes sense that they would complain that someone else has it better and to want that too, they are going about it the wrong way.
