Partners I always asked questions. Our democratic duty Isn't done at just marking an X

[riders2010]

Why is your only defence of freeride that we re ndpers? Honestly if you think that agriculture has prospered under freeride think again. Crap insurance is worse, agristability is for the corps that fcc and the banks want to deal with now not the saskatxhewan family farm. Grain movement logic is a joke. Roads are a mess. What have they done for agriculture as something you can say has a vision? The only vision freeride has is to wait for oil to go up and to create environment where farm families have no rights up against foreigners that are given things to bolster oil puppets.

Can you answer me partners do you not feel the by pass situation stinks?
If freeride had an ounce of class he would have shuffled those responsible out. And you know why because even with an admittance he still would have gotten a freeride. So why didn't he?
Is it because he s as guilty as the rest?

Wow what standRds we have!!!

[riders2010]

You are correct boarder the sask party reform isn't anything left right or centre they are just oil.

Riders, you feel so ill from "oil", maybe you should give up everything constructed from crude, including your smart phone and computer. Just go off-grid and make an example for the rest of us to follow. When you demonstrate you can live without crude, then we'll all join you. Maybe you can patent it as the "Riders method of living life without crude"!

Truth is, if it weren't for crude over the past 5 years, this country would be in the middle of a multi year recession, I guess some call that a depression.

Nobody PERFECT, just have to be better than the rest....

[Partners]

Mustardman..so your NDP buddies must have just said NO, because you don't live in Saskatoon, or Regina..

[riders2010]

Oil has its place and a good one but not as a single issue and single focus.
OIl is on the way to extinction eventually food is not we re giving away our food production rights and going hog wild into oil!!
Outstanding!!!

[stonepicker]

Riders, i really can't see how you think oil is all sask. is about. Sk. is one of the most diversifyed provinces in the country, you've got potash, uranium, farm machinery manufacturing, ( flexi coil, borgault, degalman, remvac, seed hauk, seed master, honeybee, etc. ) That's a pretty proud history of sask. ingenuity! and you have oil. There was good times in oil and ask. took advantage of it ( mb. didn't ) All those high paid oil workers you complain about, spent a lot of money which helped build your economy and a lot of those workers saved a lot of money and are now starting businesses or started farming with their parents. ( at least there's some of that around here ) Take a look at the whole picture.

I can't remember but we are the last provincial Conservative party right?pretty funny how we where the ones that started the ndp

[riders2010]

I wouldn't call this a conservative party, conservatives have a conscience for everyday people this is an all for who ever has the most money to buy us party. realy it is. Some of the things not talked about is the rights of individuals that have been lost under the reform federals and sask party. It s not just in the form of farmer grain and seed rights its all rights. You deal with any lending institution they have all the rights you name it we ve gone backwards as individuals.

[riders2010]

And I hate to say it but a part of the reason we are more diversified is that naturally we have good land for farming and have forests and have potash. And when the ndp were in power they did not go all hog wild into oil, which caused these industries to be the focus. that ironically has left us in better shape now than any policy the best of leaders have had, and its laughable because I m sure it wasn't planned but it is the truth of what happened.

[mustardman]

The old NDP would have had more oil activity but

As the saying goes" it's hard to run a *****house if next door they're Giving it away for Free"

Our royalties (until last NDP govt) were always higher than Alta and if we dropped them then Alta dropped theirs (OIL companies LOVED this race to the Bottom)
Too bad both provinces didn't get work together instead of letting oil cos Divide and Conquer

[Guest]

yes your right , leave it in the ground till nobody needs it anymore ??? there was lotsa work in any oilpatch sask , alta or bc for anyone that wanted it , yea that was bad for us ?.
we live in a small town in ne sask , I can't believe how much oilpatch money is NOT coming here anymore . it's hurting a lot of people and we are 5 hrs from the nearest activity ? time for people to give their heads a shake . no doubt sask party made mistakes but they got lots right also
anyways dark side -18 , Brad -43
