Wall. Announcement

[bucket]

Much like the downturn in oil prices....agriculture in Saskatchewan is hitting a rough spot this year....bit of hot weather and poor prices as well....don't hear this government with the same fervor to do something about it.....and we are not leaving a bunch of abandoned oil wells equivalents to clean up....

I am pretty sure most of us have had salesman show up at different times of our lives selling the next great thing....good talkers etc....Wall is a snake oil salesman....and most that get taken by them .....they don't want to admit they've been had. ....


So I will raise my hand and admit it....

But don't shit on me for saying he was a shitty premier....he created and did nothing but burn thru a boom not seen since Saskatchewan started....

Corrupt ....check.
Poor money manager.....check
Wasteful projects. ....check
Nothing to show for it .... check.

And the taxpayers still get to write the cheque for it....


And on a general note if the lack of family time is a reason to move on ....don't do it in the first place....that's a shitty excuse...you knew going in....


Like it or not ...we were all taken by a guy that could sell ice to eskimos....

He said the right things for the last 10 years and really doesn't want to roll up his sleeves...

The tough times are the real character building ....this speaks volumes about his character....

FFS he wasn't defeated in an election....although had he told the truth he probably would have.....

[farmaholic]

He never governed Sask alone! But he's falling on his sword for the Party.....lol. They're probably thinking with the exodus of longtimers and putting in new faces they may have a better chance next election. Kinda ironic they are putting the SaskParty ahead of responsibility to Saskatchewan.

[foragefarmer]

It's the cowardly and easy thing to do, leave the province in a total mess and then call it quits before you feel the wrath of the electorate. Those high paying oil company BoD jobs were just to tempting. Then Wall feeds the media with all the BS he wanted to be with family and give the Saskparty time to find it's next leader. Bullshit baffles brains here on Agriville with some posters

Keep praising Wall at the end of the day where did all that money go when oil was at $140- $150 a barrel.
Wall is no different than the NDP he just runs under a different party name!

[SASKFARMER3]

No its a trait of a smart politician.

10 years is way to long to stay in the game.

You become a carrier politician like Ralph and thats a useless cause.

Its a sure way to beat the NDP back to submission in saskatchewan.

Get new blood bow out ahead and move on. Harper F#$Ked up and didn't do that and we have the village idiot now.

Sask NDP has no real leader in the hunt just a bunch of useless fools with no vision. Local unions will support and die hard NDPs will think their great the general population won't.

So taking a page from the NDP book Split the votes.

36% love the NDP and you could beat them senseless and they would still vote NDP the Liberals and Cons and Sask switch any time they like a leader.

So split the vote. No liberals running NDP loose every time. They wrote the book on winning in sask and its just following their play book.

Horse he was the best guy for Sask. if you understand what happened to this province under the NDP we were like living on the East Germany side of the border only thing you could leave and our children did leave and fast as the grade 12 ink dried.

I liked a guy who stands up for his province. Hell roy or Allen didn't thats for sure. But cut him down thats your sunny ways.

NDP destroyed sask.

He brought us back to be proud of where we came from.

Wall did some things at the beginning to help us take advantage of the good times.High oil and high imigration to the province.Those things were going to happen no matter who was in Power.People bring money Money brings people.I commend Wall for not being blind to a political correction on its way if the Sask Party never made some changes.Sask Party was at its best when there was some Liberal still involved at the beginning.

[sofa.king]

Some of you best be careful what you wish for you may get it. Remember the high education tax on farmland the shitty roads (there is still lots of them) they will be coming back. Who built new children's hospital in saskatoon and brought in stars ambulance. Ndp will bring back tax and spend to pay big union wage increase just look at ont and alberta they're screwed. Wall was a good premier and will be missed.

[Casered]

I ask all of you Brad Wall supporters. What are 5 good things Brand wall has done for the province not said but done. If you can answer me I'll be impressed. I can think of 5 royal screwups. I can't think of 5 big successes. Poor financial management have left us in shambles. Blame the oil price all you want but the sask party was budgeting with a $100 barrel of oil. Any half assed economist could have told you that was a load of bull shit. But it got them re-elected. That's all politicians care about. They love creating a legacy and their cushy jobs. Both of those things are gone for wall.

[Robertbarlage]

14 state of the art schools
BHP
Mosaic stadium shoulda put roof on
Bypass everyone will love when done except some no minds
Bridges in toon town
Roads in sask better than ever
Small town water plants

[bucket]

BHP was looking before wall was here....didn't he shitcan BHP plans for potash?

He could tell some businesses what to do like BHP but leaves the grain cos to wreck the infrastructure locally...

[seldomseen]

For me it has been ten years of hope and progress with a positive attitude and if the this opens a crack for the poison to sneak back in it will be depression!

I agree with most things saskfarm3 says and I don't care if he makes a few spelling mistakes we know what he is trying to say.

[sk_wheatking]

Sf3 might hate my guts because I tease him on here once in a while but he is right on the money with his thoughts on wall. Saskatchewan has prospered well under the sask party but this province is so ndp that they can't handle forward movement and now are just overjoyed to slam wall. Sure he ****ed up here and there but that happens. The gth in regina is forward thinking. Children's hospital forward thinking. Road infrastructure.....on and on. Ndp logic is if your forced to build something make it only for what's needed today! To hell with growth or looking to the future. Don't worry you will get your ndp government complete with the same old has been wore out candidates who could never beat the sask party. Why do the people of saskatchewan fight against progressive government that gets things done. Yes we are in a down time.....Maybe if everyone in saskatchewan payed their fair share of taxes and I mean everyone because everyone uses public roads and the like.....things would be better. I wonder if more than 250,000 actually pay tax here in this province. One thing wall should have done was bring back that gas tax rebate from years back
And then instead of taxing a bunch of new stuff raise the pst 2% then drop it back to 5 accordingly. That gas tax rebate would have really worked. You could have put on a 5 cent a liter tax then sask residents could have filled out a form with their reciepts and claimed it back. Maybe 30% would do it but the government couldn't be blamed for another tax because they will rebate you back.

The most ignored accomplishment is the growth of our population. A mixture of some new immigrants. But a huge number of homegrown and return residents of upstanding value. Educated and contributing to the economy and society. Nothing the mess eastern Canada has because of Trudeau's arrogance. Hopefully we will not go through "well this is as good as it gets" unless you work for government.
