Good article parsley. This begs the question...Why did the Potash Corporation get privatized to start with? Didn't the Saskatchewan Gov't OWN it as a Crown Corporation at one time? Who was the genius that sold it?

I just read up on the events leading up to the privatization. So the Conservative Gov't of Sask. sold the Crown owned corporation. Figures...they left a very poor record behind when they bit the dust. Wasn't there a bit of corruption and some illegal government member dealings involved?

The Conservatives did indeed privatize.

And some of the them, including Conservative Senator Eric Bernston did indeed get kicked out of the senate, as well as some Saskatchewan MLA's accused for fraud.

I'll make futher comments, but first, Delicious Shower is calling my name. Pars

The ramifications of the bhp thing won't be played out over night, the conservatives privitized it, now considering world demand what if the province recieved more than just the royalties but the profits as well, and that should only rise with time. And yes I am sure the next post will say a governmnet run outfit never would make a profit well depends on the way it was run.

But politically the feds are backtracking on not killing the deal what will that do to the conservative seats in sk if they do not?

As more is talked about this deal the reality that Wall is saying gee don't trust big business, well aren't you the ones that brought this situation in the first place? Isn't that a support of what the ndp were saying years ago? Not saying I agree or disagree but how this plays out is what is important.

Will pcs flop if left alone, alot of people were complaining about the management prior to this, so if they flop will people say gee we should have taken the deal.

Pars didn't I say in Spring the reserves are looking at something a little more than what most are thinking. Now with their partner who really doesn't want to farm they could raise substantial money.
Hm only time will tell.

Wilagro you've been on this site long enough to know that if the people owned the potash and got all the profits thats called Communism which is bad-
but if a foreign company controls the potash and gives us a pittance ($30 per ton out of over 400)
thats called capitalism-which is good.

So Wait a Minute most of Us on this site OWN our land and get All the profits does this make us Commies lol lol lol
