Premier Brad Wall's handout to Skip the Dishes hard to stomach - what does skip the dishes charge restaurants

The Wall Street government's decision to hand over $3 million in public funds to skip the dishes seems to be just one of many painful surprises after the campaign, in which, the ruling party has provided little indication of its other term plan.
Many commentators have pointed out that skipping dish subsidies is an example of the province's Party's "picking winners and losers", which is directly contradictory to what they themselves call the core idea.
This will certainly lead to fair criticism.
Although the handouts provided for skipping dishes are not very different from the giveaways that are regularly provided to other preferred businesses (especially the resource department.
But there is a more important comparison between skipping the plate's money and the government's choice after taking power for the first time.
In 2007, the Calvert NDP government promised to provide provincial funding to the Western project of Saskatoon station 20, which plans to include a range of services for poor-service communities, including a grocery store in a neighborhood that has not been available for decades.
After taking office, despite massive public protests, the Wall Street government withdrew the money with little explanation.
Although a smaller one
The scale version of station 20 West End was finally completed through alternative funding sources, and the loss of promised provincial support was both delayed and weakened.
The finished version does include
Grocery store-
Until this year the beginning of good intersection close.
The reasons for its failure can be traced back to many failures in the provincial government.
No one wants to take advantage of the new inner world --
City grocery store.
But the money they have to spend is very limited, and more than half of them face some form of food insecurity.
Therefore, when buying a small amount of fresh vegetables and other nutritious food compared to other grocery stores, a good food connection is not proportional --
It is usually a supplement to the charity provided by Saskatoon food bank (Saskatchewan Party explicitly mentions that this is the preferred food source for the region ).
This is not a profitable business model;
For a group that is often overlooked, it does provide a service that is clearly needed.
For the government of the wall, it is clear that the establishment and maintenance of even a minimum supply of basic nutrition has never been considered a priority.
Of course, it is impossible to ensure that people have enough income to buy healthier food.
Now, after closing the Good Food connection, a blockbuster Saskatoon is back to where it started --
There are no close groceries that have to be done again.
We never know if it will succeed on a larger scale.
If the government does not intervene in the first place, the scale will expand.
In contrast, skipping dishes is built on a business model that provides restaurant meals, especially those that cannot support delivery services on their own.
This seems to be a valuable addition to our consumer environment, and it is worth recognizing the people who achieve this.
However, it cannot be considered to have significant social value that calls for public funds.
But Wall clearly has a different view.
In terms of promoting public access to healthy food, wall will do everything in its power to avoid helping.
But in terms of subsidized takeout
Eating outside, he can't distribute public funds quickly enough.
This is a set of priorities that we should not be prepared to accept.
