wall must figure he's done, gonna burn it down, before he goes

I agree with sk3, if you guys really want inefficiency and ineptness AND severe overspending, vote for ndp. By the very nature of their candidates ( school teachers, union duds etc. ) their business sense is limited. Gotta give sask. party credit for holding the line on spending. sask. used to be a have not province and now is a have province. On the bright side for some of you, if ndp win next in sask. maybe you can get a gov. job cause guaranteed the ndp will be hiring thousands of gov. workers. That's THEIR job creation program!

I understand what you are saying....but when union contracts are signed... management gives their blessing as well ....they create part of the problem as well.

the end bus is not the end of the world.
but this continual selling of assets,
it is not sane in any party or any province .

party of business ,,my ass

and the nerve after promising not to sell off the crowns, to get elected.
to now be a slime ball, with his 49% BS.
and there is no reason to do it now . or ever
just buckle down, and get the books in order, like the NDP had to do after devine.

what brad wall line , are you supporting.

where he would never sell off the crows without a plebiscite.

now where he is selling them off without one.

so he is exactly the lieing conservative he said he would not be.
surprise surprise

[the big wheel]

Not to mention his slimy election where oh trust us it's not that bad. He went and spent millions negotiating with cities and towns and rural all these agreements basing them agreements on what he was saying that it wasn't so bad. But as we can see all of that was a lie or he's dumber than dumb.

And there is no plan for all us there is a plan for all of his friends and that's it.

Sask party better start talking leadership change or he ll do what Harper did which was outstay his welcome and that's exactly why we ended up with what we have now.

[the big wheel]

And the the best one yet is to tax the shit out of all the everyday people and even the less fortunate while kissing the ass of two oil companies giving them breaks to move here while he owns shares in those companies. I mean come on get fricken real. Conceited? Stupid? Or doesn't give a shit?

[sawfly1]

all of the above , but you forgot lying %^&$
he was pretty smooth, a kinder gentler , new approach guy
not the same at all as the old divine crew.
new name and everything. please forget the past .
and they did.
elected just in time to take credit for 100$ oil , good crops and 14 $ canola ,
1,000$ potash, only to lead us here, where we have to sell the farm.
( how the #@%^ did that happen)

at least devine had tough times, as an excuse.
these guys ?

i know the NDP can be a pain in the ass , paternalistic , holier than thou.
lots of things wrong . and a few whackos too .
But hey they balanced the books,
were not hell bent to sell our assets off for nothing.
and actually created a lot of the provinces assets.

it was kind of in vain, though , because every time the people elect a conservative/sask party
they get sold.
am beginning to wonder why the NDP should even bother,
they should be burn it down too , just like wall does.

i want it now, me me me now now now and that is why Norway has billions upon billions
in the bank , and alberta and sask have SFA

[oneoff]

We get the governments we deserve. And during those elections the parties that tend to win are the ones that align themselves with what people think they want at any particular moment.

No wonder that its all focused on what me me me would most benefit from for a short while.

Irony is: the most popular leaders are those who run deficits and debts for the future.

Aint that the truth. Then the electorate get pissed off when they start making cuts and mistakes trying to clean up what they should have been doing all along. The federal Liberal party have run deficits for decades with the exception of a few years when Paul Martin finally realized it was a politcally safe move to balance the budget.

[LEP]

Remember this budget only cut 3 to 4% off of spending. Can you imagine if it was a real austerity budget?

I think we are pissed off because it seems ag paid a big chunk of that. Usually in the past, they paid shortfalls by a general tax increase. Which in retrospect seems more fair than these targetted pst increases.

What people don't think about with the crowns is that the dividends they are either less or comparable to what they would pay in income tax. So how great an investment are they if they can't pay the equivalent to tax PLUS a return on investment. Christ the NDP had something like 75 crown corps. They even owned a company that sold swine breeding stock.

That said Saskpower, Sasktel, Saskenergy, I am ok with. But I think we need 10 or 15,000 less on the public payroll.
