The Saskatchewan Party doesn't watch TV.

Because if they did, they'd realize that it's ususally directors and producers who make films, not politicians.

CBC News: Sask. politicians want apology over Douglas miniseries

Actually, I think the provincial NDP should apologize. I imagine it'd go something like this:

"Um, the NDP would like to sincerely apologize to the Saskatchewan Party for the inaccuracies in the Tommy Douglas story. Even though we didn't make the film. Some CBC producers did. But we're still really, really sorry about it. In fact, one of our ministers swears he saw the screenwriter steal an old lady's bus seat once. We probably should've realized, at that point, what we were getting into. Or, well, not really getting into. Because we didn't actually have anything to do with it. We could have, though. We could've sent them a stern e-mail filled with frowny emoticons. But we didn't. And we're sorry."

Also: I had to google "Evil Roy Slade" to figure out just how evil this portrayal truly was. The answer - not very. However, I would have been quite disappointed if someone named "Evil Roy Slade" was not in possession of one of those evil, easily-twirlable moustaches. Thankfully, cheesy 1970s slapstick comedy has once again met my lofty expectations.
