Wall has money.?????wtf???

Can someone explain the difference in incentives ....

"""""offers to subsidize relocation costs, trim taxes and royalties and help find space in unused government buildings if the oil and gas firm moves to Saskatchewan.""""


Or a fuel tax exemption for farmers if you are talking about open for business or ensuring that the base industry can compete with others.


And if it is such a good idea....why wasn't he doing this before it was a crisis....he's being reactive not proactive.

As if that offer won't be shown to Alberta as a negotiating point....race to the bottom...and then wonder why Quebec gets equalization.

Imo it comes back to size of govt and the line between NDP and SP is getting pretty fuzzy.. talk conservative act socialist. Govt only consumes and creates nothing. It's wealth redistribution with either party. It gets redistributed back to the provincial coffers!

Without governments investing in infrastructure, education, research, healthcare, and providing laws that protect investment and property rights and the rule of law, how would any market system work? Without good governance all hell breaks loose.

If we could get a few to leave alberta and Nut Case i think the flood gates would open.

lets look at it. Some still think she wont win next election. If the two right don't get their shit together she will win again and then watch Calgary empty out.

We shipped kids and companies west it could cause lots to head back east to us.

Plus who is going to pay her future 70 billion debt.

Really think about that long and hard.

And where does the money come from to pay for all this chuck? Industry and private sector jobs.

And with poor governance a state becomes hell and devours its inhabitants.



Canada irritates the crap out of me somedays... No corporation wants to start anything, do anything or create any new projects without government aid.


Government is Daddy, and everybody else is its kids... and without handholding nothing gets done. Good grief.

If you have a good royalty, and tax structure companies will come. No need to offer them office space, or all this other crap which is really just poor optics on Brad's part.

Alberta Way spend and Debt.


Sask way cut waste and tax.

[sawfly1]

first lesson in business, cutting prices destroys profits.
as i learned the hard way , in one little venture.

first the competition will drop them too.
then you're both worse off.

provinces reducing their cut is stupid.
the race to the bottom.

we have seen it already, Norway never cut royalties , and never gave up their stake in the business.
they are swimming in money.
alberta on the other hand , kept cutting, and kissed ass , whenever requested.
where are they now?

grant devine tried the same thing, did not work then , will not work now?
open for business , sold a whole bunch crowns and still , left us a billion in debt.

conservative economics. danny williams being the exception.

if wall was smart , alberta and sask would be the same rate.

There were times I thought the western provinces should join and make one big province. But look what Alberta did and BC is acting not much better. Again, I say we need a hellofa leader to come in and turn this bus around. It's pretty easy to govern when oil is over a hundred dollars a barrel, but what you do with the wealth is the true test. There is so much waste. I'd like to see how much taxpayer money is being frittered away daily so we can have group parties like gay parades.

There are no virtues for the ndp in Alberta but don't be fooled that the conservatives did much either...these boom and bust cycles all come back to the taxpayer. ...so why the conservative brag they do great things is beyond me....because to pay for it it doesn't come from the resources but my pocket...

And now Wall is using tax dollars to being companies here that will leave a bill when they are done....

[jensend]

Lol. I wouldn't worry this will cost much money. Maybe Brad Wall has never seen Calgary. I doubt companies will convince a lot of people to move.

[blackpowder]

International head offices only come to international citys. Dream on people.

Brad has to go after bigger fish....the kind that gets you on an intervenous of federal money....


Like a ford engine plant or auto sector or the real lottery ticket win of aeronautics....that's who he should be writing the letters to.

New models every year....
