Then and now.....

Yes I don't think anyone can say for sure this way or that way.
The Ndp likely would have asked more royalty and would the oil companies stayed out with 140 oil? I doubt it. Maybe not as much development but there would have been some for sure.

So who knows. It's everyone's opinion including mine on all of this.

It s obvious to me that farmers aren't a priority with the former Ndp or what we have now. Other than to use us because of the fact that we are devided.

The one thing blatantly obvious from both budgets is government is completely incapable of living within their means. They view us as an unending source of funding. Do we really work for them??? Wait til the rm's set their rates. Can they keep their hands off other people's money with a big fat reassessment coming? I highly doubt it. It's ironic that when commodity prices decline causing a reduction in govt revenue that they go to the same people that are affected by the same decline. Now really whether it's oil Co or farmers or potash we are all getting clipped by deflation. So we tighten our belts for $5 weed (wheat, but it's like a drug we keep growing it) then the 3 levels of govt pile on because they can't take a cut? Rough estimate my tax bill has gone up at minimum $10k. Where is the end in size of govt and who works for who? Because this is really looking like a state where we work for govt or their employees. I'm with farmaholic.

For the record, I want a wrecking ball through all three levels of govt. Kneecap the bastards
