Wonder if government will have to bail out the casinos and vlt lounges ?
I would hope this will help some get past their gambling addictions.
But then who am I to talk about gambling......

Those f-N things are a tax on addiction.

Addiction knows no social class distinction....rich or poor.

As Mark Cuban says, good time to buy real estate.

Lots of Permantly Unemployed

If people have enough money to supply there (needs) to cover the basics I wonder what percentage of the work force is needed. Compared to our (wants) where the extras like eating out, travel,casino,sports,etc not to judge just realizing this part of people’s lives employs so many people in this day and age compared to say 50 years ago the extra cost to the average person whether needed or not is expensive

I wouldn't get in a rush. Unless someone is in the lucky spot of too much cash on hand.

No not quite yet, give it another 3 or 4 months or longer.

the same sunday scrum talked about this being a good time to phase out of alberta and Saskatchewan's oil and gas industry and move to a "cleaner economy." this debate will also get around to focussing on agriculture, how we can move to a more "organic" industry that the nfu is pushing for.

Listening to Sunday Scrum this morning. Missed the source, either National Post or G&M.

It is now estimated that 1/2 of all restaurants across country will never reopen. Bankruptcies will soon explode.

I did a quick google and 1.2 million people employed in restaurants in Canada in 2017. So 1/2 of that is a lot but realistically just the tip of the iceberg. Not sure anybody is prepared for what is coming!

Quit beating my drum you guys....land prices only go up you know.
Some say land will slip, some say it's going to continue on it's way up.
Anything selling in your backyard?
Until I see it change at ISC(Land titles Sask) and the values on Farmland Security Board web site...I don't believe the coffee-shop talk. It gets "talked up" pretty fast, sometimes to unbelievable prices. It makes for good "conversation". I usually dont repeat rumors that I haven't verified, easier to say "I don't know".

Yep. I don't even pay attention to the women as they represent the socialists and the Indians. I only watch to see John Ibbitson's point of view as he is relatively sane.
