    The government flies in freeloaders from Tunisia and Middle East to look at our operations and cattle. Think they buy anything?

    Think they pay for anything? They get treated like royalty with no track record. I know this for a fact because we were asked to tour them around a few years back (actually Fed Trade Dept.) The experience was quite interesting as the Tunisians that we entertained grew white asparagus, garden produce and they farmed shrimp by forming a pond in the Mediterranean. They had their own jets and flew their produce to high-end restaurants in Paris and Rome twice a week. There approx 500 workers were paid about $5 a day, just enough to buy a pound of hamburger. They were here looking at cattle that they would fly back in Russian cargo plane??? Ever seen one of those at the Regina airport?? But what do I know?
    And do you think people representing us aren't being "greased" so to speak by these rich observers?

    Yet we farmers have to pay to get into shows that are advertising equipment they want to sell to us???
    Aren't we smart??? Hahahaha pay coming pay going.

    The amount of money an mla costs is way more than people think. You have to think all the support staff all the pensions offices travel etc etc. If they can't actually speak their mind what point is it to have them?

      The saskparty isn't cutting it for me .....we have had a pulse tariff for over a year and no one is doing much....

      This is a government issue now.


      Too much corruption....

      People will start looking at the NDP again.....the saskparty started helping them when they pulled the fuel tax and more taxes on insurance...etc....

      Along with all the money for everything ag related except primary production....

      Devine never left farmers hanging to dry.....
