Unpaid leave to help provinces finances

[Hamloc]

Perfecho, I think Ralph was a victim of his own success. The low income tax rates and large influx of workers created an increased demand on infrastructure and services that couldn't be met without a large increase in spending. Did they make some bad investment decisions absolutely. Has every government spent more than they brought, absolutely.

Interesting, had a salesman in my yard today who deals mostly with the colonies. He was telling me of what is available through growing forward 2 for energy efficiency improvements. They will pay up to 70% of the project cost up to 750000 dollars. He was telling me he had worked with colonies building new shops and with lighting, insulation and then installing high efficiency boiler systems they had received over 250000 dollars towards these projects, one was 400000 dollars. Am I that out of the loop to realize this existed or is MNP keeping the Colonies that far ahead of the rest of us. Looked on the government sight out of money for this year, no surprise.

Perfecho if your worried about bad government investments wait until the government starts doling out carbon tax money.

oliver here we go again, conservatives/ sask party in power'
start spending fast and loose. and in the best of times at that.

just like the last time, now again ,you want to start selling off assets.
potash corp. and others last time,
sask tel sask power this time.

how long do you think you would survive if ran run a farm like that.

sure sell off your assets, sell the land , rent it back
sell the equipment lease it back.
pretty soon you have nothing , then what?.

then you have to elect the NDP to tax the shit out of every one for eight years.
to get the books back in order.

then change your party name, to get elected , pretend your all new and better.

and screw it up again.

Well, Hamloc, think it was more than success....he got full of himself and hung around a crowd that "respected" him when he helped them......he did forget what got him there. He grabbed onto the "entitlement" cliché that did in his party. There were way too many back room deals that cost Alberta big time.
Yeah, the return of the carbon levy will be interesting, and unlike most here, I am OK with it. I think of it as a "too much" tax.....people drive way bigger vehicles, waste gallons of fuel leaving trucks, tractors idling unnecessarily....there is a better way, and what I like is people are talking and thinking about our wasteful society. We even think about taking one vehicle to town more often, even though gas is cheaper than it has been.....we are trying to do things differently because we want to help make a difference.
And to me...that is the important part, and I think the younger generation is more cognizant of this sort of thing and I find lots of young people are "less entitled" than their parents were...and its good to see. Although I still won't give up the motor home, the big house, because I too, am entitled.
Stop in some day on your way to Edmonton...we are just off number 2....

That would be an interesting visit Perfecho, I hope it works out someday.
