Regina bypass

[newguy]

Would be nice not to take 6 years putting in passing lanes from Regina to North Portal.After all I would guess that area down there paid for a good chunk of the bypass.

[the big wheel]

Just remember if the ndp was in charge you definitely would not need bypasses anywhere.

Give me a *** break, the only thing the sask parry has done is spent more than they brought in from the high price of oil boom and now we all are still paying for it. They’ve made farmers pay for their corrupt and stupid decisions. Name some policies that have helped ag as much as they’ve given away money to the oil industry?

They’re actually worse than the ndp ever was.
We’re stuck here now crying about oil
It’s getting embarrassing the ag sector mainly farmers have all faced worse than all these oil companies going tits up because they can’t make a go of it unless they pay nothing in royalties and soak the shit out of all of us. The world market is speaking its saying they don’t want our oil wake the fk up.
These bought off self interested crooks they aren’t looking out for all of us it’s for
Themselves. They’re going to destroy not only our province but our country due to corrupt ran incompetent behaviour.
Kenney Harper Wall were all a part of an era of majority governments fed and prov at the same time and what did they do? Now we’re crying about equalization we’ll tell me what circumstance would have been better to deal with that issue and all the other issues? Get these losers out!!!!

The Sask party spent over a billion dollars on the bypass which has some benefits to be sure but at the same time they cut STC and public transportation for rural Saskatchewan affecting seniors, students and those who don't drive the most.

Seniors without families or community support will find it more difficult to stay in small towns. It was an attack on small town Saskatchewan.

The Sask party cut STC based on very small savings of $17 million per year. Public transportation is a service just like public roads. They are both essential infrastructure..

The taxpayer subsidies to highways are massive. If subsidies are wrong then maybe we should privatize the highways or make users pay the full cost?

My oldest works by Evraz in Regina and from our home in Wascana he says at 7 am it takes him 15 min to get to work but if a train is on the tracks all bets are off. The other day we went to saskatoon and drove from Arcola all the way around and it took 20 min or exactly similar to going through the city. Basically yes it's far around but no traffic and 110. Winnipeg if anyone can remember when they build their road was miles out now it's not.

Come on NDP supporters it's a good road.

Sort of like the NDP and the General hospital, I wonder if you followed the money who made out on that shit show. Close the plains and relocate to a total shit show in the middle of the city.

Ah the NDP are so great.

[SASKFARMER]

Oh, Chuck the CWB isnt coming back.

Your leader sad sack Ryan is a disaster and will lose seats.

The NDP is finally dead in Sask and that is a good thing.

Keep electing idiots to run the party and like the dinosaur, it will be gone.

[chuckChuck]

Do you read? Or have too many margaritas addled your brain?

"the bypass which has some benefits to be sure"

Try to stick to the subject of the thread.

No doubt its a good road but is it appropriate for this city. Regina is not going to double in size and the bypass wont make that happen either. So I dont see the need to swing 6 miles south of the city.

The bypass it great and there is still bottlenecking at chamberlain and only a two lane highway south to the border....

Now the question is where is the traffic coming from or going to?


The GTH for a million people in the province will never work when the goods have come from through the most populated cities in North America...That is a really simple fact...or if you are going to bring goods to regina and then truck them to the polluted cities....well its just stupid....and inefficient....

How much corruption and payoffs and profits to friends of the party did this cost the tax payer?

Sure it looks nice and modern great but when you don’t have decent hospitals in both cities when you don’t staff the hospitals properly building a road like this is just seems disproportionate. It was built in the idea that 110 dollar oil would go to 200 and production. Would ramp up is what this really was built on.
The only way Regina will grow to fully utilize this is if other industries besides oil get developed within the province. And this government has no interest in developing anything other than the oil industry. Which has a time limit in it. It will not totally be eliminated not sure if ever but much of it will be replaced and demand will be lower that is a fact.

We desperately need a new thinking on what we should be producing.

No industry is coming to Saskatchewan unless government gives them a handout ....I have been to enough meetings and listened to people talk.....every industry looks for handouts in the form of tax breaks or direct money...

1. Why wasn't Roquette located here?
2. What happened to the pea plant in Moose Jaw ?
3. Morris industries has been given money ?
4. DOT is the prairie's bombardier and will be for a while...
5. Why isn't there a healthy feedlot and slaughter industry here in saskatchewan?


I can go on but the capitalists are the biggest government pigs and tit suckers and politicians fall for it everytime...for a lousy per diem or board seat while primary producers are forgotten....

[bucket]

The bigger question for the bypass is....do they have an infill plan?

residential, commercial, industrial and are they going to keep it well spaced to allow more traffic lanes....

City planners seem a little stupid when you look at parking lots around box stores on the east side of regina for allowing curbs to be built and micro traffic issues ....coupled with the annoyance of winter cleaning....

[jazz]

I never thought I would say this but the pure capitalist angle is probably not the way. Its too easy for any industry to simply bail when they dont like the condtions. Yes there should be free flow of capital but when it lands it has to come with some sort of committment past the next quarter.

Maybe there needs to be a P3 type funding plan for creating business here. where the public and govt can be a minority backer but not involved in the operations and if the company decides the take off, that entitty could buy it out and make sure it remains local. Kind of like the upgrader, except that was the opposite, govt money first then a private buyer.

We have pension plans that could be part owner in these things.

[the big wheel]

If we have a fraction of the subsidies to these companies instead of oil companies they would all be here just think about that it is a fact. We farmers could have a lot of secondary opportunities for our product right here if they got help like the oil industry does.

But we ve been brainwashed into thinking the oil industry just does all they do on their own they don’t.

We have an oil owned provincial government and that is the main reason there has been next to nothing else happen here.

[SASKFARMER]

Maybe here is a big benefit


No one ****ing died trying to cross at Balgonie, pilot bute or going to timmys at white city.


**** people wake up.

I drive that road every day twice and I’ve seen enough blankets covering someone who’s dead a few times.

It’s a bypass.

Also let’s look at the ndp and all the shit they destroyed.

How many loyal guards of the ndp got payoffs.
