Seriously

[GDR]

This is retaliation to what is happening in Alberta against many Sask workers.

Doing it to level playing field.

I heard them say that on the news? Does anyone feel there is truth to that?

As an employer I would hire the best person or company for the job wouldn't care beyond being Canadian. Only thing may be is a local person to the job site might be more likely to stay on the job long term and not quit to go back home.

Don't think there is any rivalry or bad feelings between AB/SK. Now BC that's a different issue them fellas out there got a big chip on their shoulders towards the rest of the west.

Maybe Brad is a closet union hack. ;-)

Alberta has 4 % Growth , we are broke , Brads just trying to do one Last Pulpit Speech and collect a few coins for the empty coffers

Just looked at Alberta's and Saskatchewan's debt clock. Per capita Alberta's debt is $9149 and Saskatchewan's per capita is $7450 so who is really broke? Alberta continues to add debt much quicker than Saskatchewan! As for the licence plate scrap I think that Brad Wall is bringing attention to the disadvantage Saskatchewan companies face with a 6% sales tax in Saskatchewan and no sales tax in Alberta. If Alberta had a sales tax instead of a carbon tax we would be much farther ahead imo.

Brad should be carefull tho, Husky is an Albertan company isn't it and if they want to use Alberta trucks to haul all that Albertan money over to Mervin and Paradise Hill country, I say let them.

I drive lots every day and yes seeing Alberta plates on vehicles pisses you off in construction sites. Not to the NDP supporters on here because Alberta is NDP.
If you want crews here for years doing jobs switch you vehicles to here

Would the trucking industry be behind this?
You know building highways needs a lot of gravel hauled?
Lots of gravel trucks in Edmonton............................

Hm every one of the gravel haulers is Alberta plates or just about every one

Maybe AB plates are cheaper. Last I heard, if you are in another province for more than 6 months, you have to register the vehicle in the new jurisdiction but then there are complications, like residency, etc.

Not sure how it works for commercial but for private you need plates in province you reside.
Farm plates is dif you need plates in prov where the vehicle is going to be used. Issue comes that you can't get Sask plates inless you have Sask hospitalization number. So if you live in AB but farm in Sask you can't get Sask plates on farm truck and you can't get AB plates because vehicle main use is in Sask.

In my case SGI made me a phoney Hosp # just so I could liscence my farm trucks in Sask.

Not sure how they are going to make this work. Have to get out of province insp and plates everytime you cross border.
