Brad will hire Romanow as consultant

Immediately after Sask party was elected road construction Began.
The funny part is that first construction was from the 500 million budgeted by the NDP .
I have neighbours who thought they had a sask party road,not so boastful now that I told them it was from the previous govt budget

[bucket]

I drove to Saskatoon to pick up the inlaws.

Holy shit these roads are a ****ing mess.

Don't know where they are fixing roads but for being represented by the saskparty in those areas for the past 8 years ... that's gotta be a disappointment.

But then again saskparty mlas probably think those rows of big bins beside the highway don't **** them up as well.

Hauled in heavy and more than likely out as well.

There is only one road bed built to withstand the loads today..... its called a railway.

Sask3 i cant argue what the NDs did to sask but i do know what the Cons did to alta.. you say unions well we have the highest paid teachers and nurses and oil workers in the country and that is all from the good graces of the Cons.
You dont to seem to have fared to badly over the yrs of NDs rule or did you gust become wealthy in the last 10.
I hope all you in sask are happy on election day but I suspect nothing will change here on agriville,some happy ,some bitching.

I don't care who's in power , until we get a sustainable tax base to maintain the most miles per person on earth of hiways nothing will change much.
#1 the tax money is not there and never was to support the amount of hiways in this province
#2 not enough qualified people or equipment to even remotely keeps up to the amount of hiways and the climate that kicks the shit out of what's there.
#3 as long as there is a union involved it will never change regardless who's in power. They take more fukin time off for coffee and lunch breaks than the work actually done . On top of that probably 20% of them are on stress leave or busy maxing out their sick time to get anything realy accomplished .

Keeps up .. Dam fingers !! Keep up

The bridge crew worked all weekend.

The track hoe operator said he votes for wall.

I remember a time when highways were in pretty good shape but I wasn't passing super Bs just other cars and trucks. Shit wasn't wearing tinfoil back then either.

[SASKFARMER3]

The bridge crew is a private contractor from Fort I think. The Dept. of Holidays bridge crew took almost two years to do a bridge before this crew took over bridge building.
Our highways are in decent shape considering the amount of roads in this province.
Little over a million people to pay the bills and oil potash uranium royalties.
You need people for a tax base and good royalties structure to make a go of it.
Manitoba has similar population and they are 30 some billion in hole. Cam says were broke. Not even close.
Ontario has people for tax base and other options yet the most broke ass place in the world next to California.

Well they are driving dept of highway trucks and equipment.

[SASKFARMER3]

I'm just saying in East Sask most bridges are built by a company in Fort I think.
They do a real good job and are done on time. Years ago the Dept. of Holidays did one that took spring till summer the next year. Other side of town done in a few months.
Same river at different highway point a couple months.

[bucket]

I agree but the bridge they are replacing could have been done by now. But instead of detouring they had to build a temporary bridge.

And why the **** does fisheries have to be involved for in the middle of the prairies?

[SASKFARMER3]

Hey a grid south of us had issues due to fisheries and was delayed. Road was there since the thirties and water washed it away yet some civil servant from Ottawa stopped the replacement because it might effect the salmon. tongue in cheek.

[TraderJoe]

Bucket or anyone else thinking our highways are shit... take a drive to Manitoba and see what you find... when I moved to Sask 20 years ago, you could tell when you crossed from the good highways in MB to the garbage roads in SK with your eyes closed! Now, after 16 years or so of NDP in MB and SaskParty rule in Sask, it is pretty much the opposite! Alberta's new NDP hasn't had time to make a mess of things yet...just wait!

[bucket]

If we can't maintain the highways how did they build them in the first place.


It's like inheriting daddys equipment and junior can't afford the oil changes or the difference.

With the road building equipment today .....some one is blowing smoke.

[LEP]

Right bucket.

They rebuilt the thin membrane surface that goes past my farm a couple years ago. It involved grinding up the surface mixing it and cement and gravel and oil and then packing it.

The contractor said holy shit they just paved over dirt. Shitty foundation means shitty road.

If it wasn't built right to start with it won't last.

[stonepicker]

Like trader joe said, come to mb. if you wanna see poor roads! The only possible exception may be north of number 1 highway where they do have some good roads, and ya they've voted for the ndp for the last 30 years ( just a little bit of favoretism there. oh wait! the ndp don't do that! )
