Originally posted by jazz View PostThe bypass and the GTH and the stadium are pretty big fails in our recent history.
The stadium is barely used and can only be operated if there are 15,000 fans in the seats. Has no utility for the general public.
The bypass goes so far outside of Regina that you could fit another Regina inside. Someone has grandiose opinions on this town.
And the GTH started out as trying to lure warehouse and container business, ended up as a payday for Boyd and crew then morphed into a chinese immigration scheme. Finally a few legit businesses have occupied it now.

Ya I think the health guy should be canned. I get it that Scott gets the blame but what is health minister doing? If Scott was smart he'd get new person

Originally posted by bucket View PostThe only point I was trying to make was if the province has money for varying projects , good or bad, it seems putting a few more ICU beds for either covid or regular surgeries wouldn't be the worst thing to spend money on.
When I needed back surgery 6+ years ago, it was the same story. And IIRC, COVID wasn't as issue yet.
The problem of healthcare capacity lies entirely at the feet of government and healthcare bureaucracy. It seems like extra funding goes into the pockets of the inner circle and the plebeians can suffer.
Locally, the administrator of the catchment area rakes in huge dollars while he rides the frontliners for the care shortfalls.

Originally posted by shortbox View PostYou're starting to sound like an NDP, don't build anything. If we ran our farms that way we would all be 2 quarter farmers looking for government handouts
Case in point. At one point in these projects a very industrious person suggested the bypass be in a few miles closer to town and Mosaic be refurbished for those 10 rider games - basically building another covered side. That would have saved nearly $1B dollars which could have built an indoor hockey rink and with public rec center to replace Brandt and build 10 new schools in the city. Was rejected and that person is probably stuffing envelopes somewhere now.

Admittedly grant Devine was premier thru some tough years , but he did dig a hell if a hole to fill in even after selling everything that was not nailed down.
The NDP had to be lean and mean just to get the province solvent again.
Face it Devine spent like Trudeau.
Money that was not there.
You idolize one and trash the other

Devine invested in projects that improved Sask. and he did it during hard times creating jobs.
Trudeau spent money during good times and to my knowledge never created any jobs or improved anything.. an example: Water systems for reserves never got built..

SUN advertises that Sask has 10,000 nurses but we are perpetually short of specialized operating room and ICU nurses. Those specially trained nurses take time, money and incentive to train. Sask Health should concentrate on subsidizing those that will train for these positions. We need resperatoligists. calgary is closest college so subsidize if trainees will come here after to work for some years. JMHO

No sense saying how much the population has grown if the rest isn't growing along with it.
They justified the stadium because that's what big cities do.
Big cities build ICUs.

Newguy, au contraire, there are perpetual deficiencies in our health system. We pay big bucks for health boards and “experts†who aren’t forward-thinking enough to pinpoint the bottlenecks and dare to make bold moves to alleviate the shortages. Importing specialized professionals is not always the answer as they aren’t necessarily familiar with our conditions and we often need them up and running when they land.
