Dept of highways Saskatchewan

[the big wheel]

Sometimes yes if the leadership
Isn't up to par I agree. But nothing guarantees quality or efficiency in the system where friends of the government get selected for the jobs no matter what. Or selected for liquor boards etc etc.
Only so much money is given if the private guys want to pocket the money and skip quality who looks at that?
Nobody when its friends of friends. Some of the latest road work private is a real shit show doesn't even last a year then people go blame maintenance which is lacking but if there was quality to start would require less maintenance to begin with.
It's plains and simply mismanaged private and public I agree.

But where are the contractors that should be working?

What's new sask has had the sittiest​ roads since the beginning of time. I think they have closed the gap compared to other provinces in the last 10 years. Really unfortunate you guys are wasting all that taxpayer money on the Regina bypass. Could have been put to better use.

I agree with the terrible job done at rail crossings many places and I did hit those ones you're speaking of on a trip up to look at some northern land. Holy cow!!!

Many of the roads are beyond maintenance and dangerous. Only going to get worse there is no plans to fix them either.

Klause I travel to manitoba often for various things. Where are these terrible roads? I assume up north? Because the ones more south at least where I ve been are nothing like here. But I m sure there are some bad ones there as well.

Cutting the grass is another thing left way too long here.

You're funny big wheel! Surely you jest about good roads in southern mb.? Some of the newer ones are not bad but the older highways are a disaster and there's lots of those. And you also say the union workers aren't the problem? As caseih said, it's hard to get anything done in a 3 hour day. Sheesh! My dog pisses on big wheels.

Mine pisses on little stones!!!
Maybe add something with some thought instead of your usual political playbook shit.

It should be law that every cent collected from saskatchewan gas tax be applied to road maintenance and or building of highways. It should never go into general revenue.

Oh and Robert when nobody gives a **** in government whether it's ndp pc sask party liberal green party or whatever this is what you get. Roads in Alberta were good under Ralph Klein! Say what you want about him but he seemed to care about the average every day person and what they had to deal with in their everyday life. I'm from sask and love it here but it seems every gov turns into a disgrace after a few years. I'm still for wall but he's in trouble if the ndp can find anyone with an ounce of credibility to run against him. If they can convince roy Romano to run the sask party is history!

[the big wheel]

Yes when Ralph ran things alberta roads were the envy of the west for sure. And not only the roads.

lol, good one! Political playbook shit? Doesn't matter what gov. is in power, unions are inept and lazy. Their goal is to get paid more for working less.

[farmaholic]

When you compare the level, quality and amount of maintenance and from the past to present it is an absolute disgrace. The old crew spent the whole summer standing on that hot blacktop sand sealing the cracks with an oil wand and shovel for the sand! Ditches were mowed..... the shoulders earlier in the season and then the whole ****ing right of way before the snow flew(that way the ****ing willows and brush wouldn't take over). Culverts were marked. Large pieces of debris and road kill cleaned up.

Tell me what happened.

[sofa.king]

****in unions want a share of the wealth in the good times and never share the bad times. They had their place at one point in time but now are a waste of money with nothing to show for it.

[the big wheel]

Farma That's exactly what I d like to know what s happenned?
Arguing about whose roads are worse pointless except to say some of them are dangerous to drive onand getting worse.
Has the budget all gone for the hub?

[sofa.king]

Just a thought but the prisons are full and there is lots of young offenders on probation with nothing to do maybe time to bring back the chain gang. It would be a cheap way to fix potholes and these let's could help pay their debt to society.

Deflation is a bastard. We could shrink govt ....... nah. Other then people and labor is there any assets in govt? Just wondering cause Illinois is flat ass broke, I wonder what the employees are gonna do when they paycheck bounces? Finding out there's no pension should really make them jump on cars. It's don't matter one bit what color flag they wave, they are all totally incompetent with other people's money.

Reason why we call them Department of Holidays.
