    Vale

    Can someone explain to me how a Brazilian miner with horrible reputation of exploitation can walk in and buy up 15000 acres of prime farmland just outside of Regina? The Sask Farm Land Security Act S84(1) states "no non-Canadian-owned entity may have or acquire an aggregate land holding of more than 10 acres".

    I think that law has loop holes in it so big that a small country can slide thru it with ease

          I hardly think Vale's intent was to get into farming. They even sold some of the houses off the yard sites.

          I personally can't imagine there is enough room for all the existing and proposed mines in today's market. Although these are loooong term projects.

          And if everything is Sask was for sale, why didn't the Sask Party sell the Potash Corp when they had a chance?

              Let's review brad wall's record.

              Funds a stadium with no roof. He like foozball. He also reminds me of the water boy.

              He helps fund the ring road bypass in regina only to end up in the city. And cost have tripled in a month. He likes to spend.

              He allows cppib to buy land. Essentially farmers funding the scheme. Haven't quite figured that out.

              The government is also in the process of giving away a 100 million dollar infrastructure to about 30 farmers. The highest subsidized farmers at about 5000 dollars per acre.

              Stellar absolutely stellar.

                Yup, didn't go far enough around Regina in my opinion.

                  It's more like 60,000 acres.

                    They probably did it during the review or with the distraction of the cppib purchase.
