Sask. Election Prediction

[mustardman]

Brad is an excellent speaker and motivator.
He does however, need to convince Mr. Boyd that we need to make a bank account for a rainy day.
From a small increase in royalty rates. Pumping an oil well royalty free for first 3 years !!??

Saskfarmer let me rent some land From You, I won't pay anything the first 3 years but on the fourth I'll toss you a few shillings. Ok

[mustardman]

By the way Saskfarmer you'd better study your political history a little more. There has never been a government in Sask come to power WITH more MONEY in the gov't coffers as the sask party came into in 2007.
Most of The long term debt could be attributed to Brad's old party.

Bucket won. Congratulations.

The NDP never wanted to pay off the debt. They
wanted to point to that as long as they could as a
reason not to vote right.

They also never wanted to grow the population in
the province. The kids born and raised here and
didn't leave were more likely to vote NDP.

Mustard do you remember Spudco?? Lautermilch
lies under oath, apologizes and returns to cabinet.
You don't send a bunch of union leaders, united
church ministers and school teachers to run a
province. Good Riddance.

I see the remains of Spudco everytime I pick up the mail.

Outstanding! can't wait to see all the improvements for agriculture!

LEP, you nailed it! Supporters of the NDP always like to point out that the boom and turn around started under Calvert, but what they don't seem to want to remember is is how Calvert just wanted to piss it all away. In the 2007 election, that's all the NDP was offering, spend the money! Flash forward to this campaign, Lingenfelter offering the voters a 3 Billion dollar budget and wanted to spend it all again, sure they said they would through a few nickles in the drawer but we still remember the "three card monte" they played with the rainy day fund, the non existent savings account that the province supposedly had.
Brad Wall payed down 3 Billion in debt, and I believe that's how he will win the next election, by paying down the rest of the debt. Then watch this province kick ass. The NDP would have never paid down the debt with this booming opportunity, they would have just pissed it away, the proof is in their platforms.

Thanks charliep for declaring Bucket the official
winner....do you want your prize, bucket? Pars

LEP.

There is a good chance that teachers taught every one of the current crop of Sask Party people that were elected last night. What does that say? They may even have been instrumental in your education process.

Mustardman.

Well said.

I believe Russ Marchuk is a teacher!

[blackpowder]

Overheard a conversation between a franchise territory manager and a franchisee. His area straddled AB/SK.
Said SK reminded him of AB in 08 and prior. Biggest difference he sees is AB clients too used to money and using a lot of debt. SK clients all cash and lots of it.
Keep pulling those dragons from the ground and congratulations.

Mustard, "Pumping an oil well royalty free for first 3 years !!??"

Mustard, You forget, these oil companies pay huge sums , up front, for the right to drill these crown lands via the crown land sales. Also, no guarantee they will hit oil so huge risk. Royalty free period fair IMHO.
