Is anyone else tired of our little premier yapping

[stonepicker]

Hmm if the provinces can't come up with a carbon price then justin will set it for them. Sounds like a dictator! lol, but i'm sure people like mustard will now just call it strong leadership.

Could the same question could be asked about the oilsands in saskatchewan and the imaginary border?

Same thing. Sask has oilsands galore in a belt almost across the province down to Hudson bay town, but it is shale as you go east. Lots of exploration has been done, but not much is said. It is kind of hush hush for some reason. According to a certain oil company, the sask oil sands are even richer in terms of how laden the sands are. IE proportion of oil to sand.

We shall see. Nothing for sure will happen under the ndp. I have a sneaking suspicion this is why Mr. Wall is so very pro pipeline. we got the oil, just no way to ship it yet...

brad wall isn't perfect but unlike notley he cares about his province .as I said before , I dont much give a shit about politics but how any farmer can farmer can vote NDP is beyond my realm of thinking ?? short memories ?

[Guest]

bucket , with all the bad press the oil sands are getting worldwide , maybe we are lucky there was an a imaginary border there ? or maybe or leaders were being cautious ?

Stonedpicker. It's 2016 and we need to ramp up the change to new energy system and if this takes a carbon tax to encourage it then so be it.

Mr. Wall comes from a very ingenious innovative group of people ,the Mennonites
So let's get on with it
I am sure some of you said rubber tired tractors would never work either

[stonepicker]

So mustard, you and others don't agree with oil companies getting tax breaks and such, even though you would have to agree that oil companies put a huge amount of money back into the economy through high wages etc. ( isn't that what profitable co's should do as in pay their employee's well? ) Do you agree with the billions of dollars being given in subsidy's to solar and wind power projects?

I can't imagine that there are enough socialists in SK to elect Broten in April. I guess in a way we could thank PM Selfie and Stephanie Ding Dong for focusing our anger with NEP Ver II but I'm about 110% sure the Wall government will be re-elected regardless of what the lesser of 2 Trudeaus does. There's plenty of us who can remember what it was like under the socialists, no matter how the likes of mustardman want to distort the picture. I'd like to say "never again" but that might be unduly optimistic. Maybe I can at least hope for "not in my lifetime".

Sorry about the 2nd post but this forum software is prehistoric.

Mustard: the "new energy system" is called nuclear. Can I assume you support that? If so then I'll agree with you that it is long past time to move in that direction.

[stonepicker]

Hey bobofthenorth, does that mean that sask. is a rat-free province?

[mustardman]

Bob nuclear was developed during the 40's to blow people up.
It's not New tech and the ONlY investors it will ever have is govt . Look up money pit in the dictionary and the answer is Nuclear power.
As an investor I mite as well invest in the telegraph system as nuclear

There is a form of nuclear that would work But it's not the form we are using that creates spent fuel rods that we have to find a hiding place for

True about the extension of oilsands to saskatchewan.

Stonepicker

The high wages are great until those people end up on government assistance.
If oil had bottomed at 55 bucks a barrel I think it may have worked out better.

[bobofthenorth]

Mustard that is the most juvenile thinking. Any technology can be used for good or evil - a scalpel can as easily cut your jugular as it can remove a tumour.

I assume from your comments that the so-called new technologies which you support are those that can only exist by virtue of massive government subsidies.

[mustardman]

No one invest in nuclear Except Governments
There is no more Expensive energy source

[SASKFARMER3]

One big nuke plant north of PA feeding south should of been built right away! Give local native groups share portion also province a share! We're home of the worlds largest nuke fuel source yet we have none! But again that's the NDP way.
Nothing ever happened here move along leave us be here is a civil servant job welcome to the NDP party.
Never again at least in my life time! They destroyed our province.
