It was administration policy. Doubt Ralph was against it, even if he didn't cook up the scheme himself.
Or to quote a certain CKA poster:
Classy! "Hey BC, they are your problem now! Thanks!" - Alberta

Obviously it was policy, as it happens enough to have it's own name. But that doesn't mean Ralph and Brad are down at the bus station handing out tickets.

Sarchasm. Aptly named!
But that doesn't mean Ralph and Brad are down at the bus station handing out tickets.
Nobody said they were.
When someone says "Ralph Klien/Brad Wall/Kathleen Wynne did this"...it doesn't mean they literally did it themselves but their government did so.
Man you like to weasel around. Nobody said they were handing out tickets themselves.
Ralph Klein was doing it long ago,

When people say things like that, you and I know they are usually wrong. Premiers may set policy and direction, and the Ministers will set that direction in the ministries, but it's the civil servants who carry it out.
Klein and Wall (and any other Premier) may agree with the policy of resettling the homeless via 'Greyhound Therapy', but that doesn't mean they had any say or knowledge of the matter.

I don't know if you're just trying to be funny, or what. Add a smiley or something, because at the moment it just comes off as inane.

Wall probably didn't even know about it, this doesn't sound like established policy for Saskatchewan. In Klein's case it went on for years and was well publicized. If he didn't like it, he could have stopped it. Since he didn't, he owns it.

Of course. That's what andy meant by his comments.
I don't think you understand what was being said.

If they didn't have any knowledge, they're not doing their jobs. As you said above, they set policy and direction.

Leave him be, he's having too much fun in one of his little weasel fests where he's playing around with words while the meaning was clear. He's just trying to amuse himself.
