Brad Wall - really......????????

[bucket]

Once again you missed the point.

The ceo of the health district probably got a "uuuge" bonus for bringing he hospital in on budget even though the deficiency list is very long and very expensive.

How about taking the bonus and some of her salary to pay for the deficiency list not only on the hospital but the overall district as well. Instead of a parking lot fee?

When the ceo can't figure out a simple thing like you need enough staff parking for 2 shifts for coverage in the hospital maybe they are in over their head. Or to have given notice to the hyperbolic chamber doctor in public?

Just examples of Wall's team at work.

Speaking of space. Much like every john deere store the new hospital has enough room for an 18 foot Christmas tree. Wasted space. Most people don't care about when visiting people in a hospital. Well except for more room where the patient is.

Priorities are getting a little off base when it's all show no substance.

Wall's M.O. is just that.

I was referring to parking spaces at the farm progress show that you were griping about.

Anyway I am quite sure Brad doesn't have time to put parking spaces on the agenda for a cabinet meeting.

Your beef is with the health district in Moose Jaw and the city of Regina.

He had time for license plates that I am sure the ceo of sgi could have handled.

You are missing points.

And it was brad wall that made the announcement about the hyperbaric chamber so he is involved and it becomes his responsibility.

No matter... if you show up at a new hospital to ribbon cut and the majority of the important people get shuttled in ... don't you think you should question the upper management that is spending the publics money?


Considering they greenfielded the hospital site? Small details missed create big problems later that taxpayers continue to pay for. I would question their competence.

About the farm show, heard from a few different booths at new farm show northwest of Saskatoon this past summer that regina and its unionized, poor access, high priced, poorly timed gong show was quickly losing its appeal. Some said they would not go back to Regina. That would be just fine by me.

A new stadium with a roof and the farm show could have been held in poor weather in the off season.

Seems odd at the way they say how much money comes into the city for farm shows and in 30 years haven't looked at making it a more useable area.

Bucket, this is the difference between "how can we help" and "this is how it is, take it or leave it". Excited about show at stoon this summer. Dealers love the easy access, site cost is lower and room to expand is almost unlimited.

The Ag in Motion show near Langham is more convenient to attend than the Farm Progress Show, the outdoor show with plots has more of an appeal to me and less of a hassle to park.

Seems a little silly for people on here to blame the stadium design on the premier.
The city can still add a roof if they somehow find an extra $200 million.

Regarding Farm Progress etc. It is well known in Regina Exhibition Association circles that they don't want and don't care about Farm Progress or Agribition and could give 2 shits if they were held in Regina
When the Ex board was broke many years ago they had to sell their soul to the City of Regina to survive. The Ex board would have got rid of these "farm" events years ago because they don't make big money and they are a pain in the ass to them. However City of Regina said they stay because these events leave a huge amount of money in the city.
Thats why the football stadium is there because of the prestige and the fact it will make money IN THE CITY at every event held in it and yes the general public of Sask will help pay for it. The farm functions are left to be handled by the Ex Board thats why they are treated like toxic shit and why these events are becoming a pain in the ass to attend.Just my two cents so let it rip
