And it will continue to be,jensend.IF, you are a net taxpayer there,you will be one of only 136000,out of 1,000,000.And by 2025 it will be even less taxpayers.You`d better get out working ,because nobody else will be left to pay the bills.Now you can see why the land is so cheap.Nobody wants that much of the `Saskatchewan Experience`

Good morning you all: We moved to Sask from Alberta 31 years ago. 20 years ago it must be, I watched a auctioneer selling a bull and he kind of summed up the difference bettween Albeta and Saskatchewan. He was trying hard to raise the bid and he said he had been selling bulls in sothern Alberta the other day and a bull such as this would have brought twice as much. The difference he said bettween the two provinces was this " in Alberta a rancher brags about how MUCH he pays for a bull and in Saskatchewan he brags about how LITTLE he pays for a bull"
I had a good laugh....enjoy your coffee...

we ran into exactly the same situation this spring. one day i was in alberta buying a couple of bulls and some of my old neighbours were watching me pay near the top of the sale and saying what nice bulls those were. at the same time my wife was in regina picking a bull off for what was near the top of that sale and our new neighbours were thinking she was completely off the mark when they were buying bulls for 2000 and less.

You're right about Sask. My roots come from Sask to Ab in about 1945 as have so many others so what does that make it a 60 year old brain drain.

Yes...but be warned. When some of our NDP ministers quit here, they go to Alberta and work as executives for BIG oil companies. Go figure?
Funny how they hate big business, unless of course, they run it.

Maybe that's why so many of our oil companies know how to blow money! You would not believe the waste in the oil patch! They are pretty tight when it comes to giving the farmer very much but sure know how to blow it otherwise! A lot of the engineers are as tight as can be and know how to squeeze every nickel until it squeeks but the head offices are so incompetent you'd swear they were the government!!! I had one contract I got paid for three times!!! And when I informed the company about it the accountant said it would be too difficult to correct it! Now that was a lucrative little bit of work!
