    One of 2 reasons they let it get to that state.
    1 The ferry cost them to much to operate so if tjey let the road to it get bad enough no one will use and they will pull because of lack of use.
    2 They can increase oil revenue by forcing people to drive further.
    That is nuts.

      Wmoebis.

      See why I say they should quit dropping bombs in the middle east and just run a bombing mission down 42 and rebuild it like they do over there?

      A decade of attempts on that highway and over 40 million spent.

      And they just let the same thing happen down by hodgeville by tearing out the tracks.

      They can't afford highways.

      Sure is good to have a senior cabinet minister for an mla. Hey lyle stewart. What a dud.

        What really pisses me off is they built a new stadium for 9 games a year. Didn't make it a year round facility.

        But there ae people wanting to get to the lake with their campers, kids and wake board boats and spend 500 bucks a weekend in gas and golfing. That's a real economic driver but the government says **** it you can wreck your 100000 boat trying to get there.

          All those things went through my head in the last Hr and half. Next time Ritz,Raitt are in Sask for photo op make sure they get to drive that road. Preferably with their family car.

            You will phone someone about your adventure?

            Farmers sold grain to the eyebrow elevator from the marquis area. Then viterra trucked the grain back over 42 to Raymore. Brilliant hey.

            In two days with about 30 loads they blew it apart. Bad timing but viterra downloaded a 20 million highway bill to the taxpayers to load a few trains.

              Nope, not going. Too much to do right now. Aside from my lack of interest.

                  Yup and the highways staff in regina act stupid. All they have to do is look at the trucking companies bill of lading.

                  Lyle ****head stewart says the eyebrow elevator should have never been built there. Wonder who told him that at his board seat interview. Too ****ing bad it's there and so is a rail line - use it.

                    Hodgeville is a similar to eyebrow. Hodgeville is slated to be blown up.

                    Meanwhile the cwb builds a 42000 tonne elevator at moose jaw.

                    Road costs increase well past 100 million to allow farmers to truck grain somewhere.

                    On order to build a highway to super b loads you have to essentially build a rail bed for a highway. Interesting hey.

                    They are tearing one up right now.

                    This isn't rocket science.

                      What a gong show! Bucket, you are spot on, but government loves the "progress" to big central delivery. Remember the days of 9 elevators within 8 miles of your farms? Sitting on a rail line. Fond memories.

                        What no one realizes is that 3 tons in front of wooden elevators is exactly the same as super Bs in front of concretes.

                        It's not progress.

                        It's downloading of costs to farmers.

                        And so is the bin building going on today.

                        It's assenine.

                          Make work/economy for BIG business and Govs. Need to get our money into other's pockets. F*ck I call it regress. Total lack of vision. Yes fondly remember elevators 7 miles apart here. Extremely short 4 mile hauls. Life was good, shit show now, grain passing each other in super b's. Classic is lots of local bushels go 50 miles N to 3 Tisdale elevators, then right back past me on CP at 5 mph all spring.
