on the move

[binthere]

aside from a few gliches sask is still on the move. oil thermal plants coming on stream at edam and vaune. helium plant down south. sask will be leaps and bounds ahead. we have come a long way from land banks, state run potatoe and hog farms.

Without a significant improvement in the price of oil, it is doubtful Husky has the money to go ahead with construction on the other proposed projects so it will be a while before we see them. Hopefully Wall is not putting tax dough into them. Unlike AB not screwing around with a royalty review right now is very helpful.

hahaha! that's too funny sask is in good shape?

everything from drug crime to mental break downs are on the steep rise.
estevan and weyburn are basket cases
not being reported coccain is paying the truck payments its sad.

reality is being hidden until after the election.

Bradley Wall put 11 million into the pockets of 2 guys that the department of highways could have paid 205acres x 9000 or 1.845 million thru the expropriation process.

Yeah like he won't get buffaloed on some schemes disguised as make work projects.

The ****ing moron.

The highways thing hits home for us.

My Wife's parents live along what will now be Highway 16.

They have 1 quarter here, grow some grain, pasture their pet horses... and live there... (remember, they farm down in Abbey, but Darcy's Mom works in the city).


Anyway, the highway cut right through their quarter, it's less than 100 yards from their house, filled in a slough so now all the water runs into the yard, and their house is 150 yards from the 4-lane highway.


This is right outside of Clavet... Highways "appraised" it based off of land values in North Battleford... and offered them a whopping 60K. They won't buy out their yard even though they've completely f**ed it...

Yet somehow 11 mil in Regina is doable, eh?

Just curious .... would you vote for the saskparty after that?

[Klause]

Unfortunately, yes... because the only other choice is to vote for a party that wants to bring in guaranteed minimum income.... Carbon tax.... "social licencing" for farmers... and the list goes on.


As all political parties there's corruption in the Saskparty... but I can't bring myself to vote for the NDP.

That's an honest answer. Thanks.

Ndp , sorry i mean spudco, cost 35 million . Just saying.

[bucket]

And just wait until the saskparty subsidizes a 110000 acre irrigation project again.

They will justify it by economic diversity although any new participants will be on the government tit much like the spudco deal.

Except that it will be like the GTH land deal and portrayed as the open market working. But still government backed.
