Lep"


I think Danielle Smith would be good."


Smith quit the Ab Conservative party 2009 and joined the Wild Rose party that year and was elected the leader Oct 17, 2009

"Jim Prentice became PC leader and premier. Under Prentice, the PCs swept four by-elections in October.[14] Smith was dealt a second blow at the Wildrose annual general meeting, when an anti-discrimination resolution that she strongly supported was voted down while she was out of the room.
On December 17, 2014, Smith announced that she, deputy leader Rob Anderson, and seven other Wildrose MLAs were crossing the floor to join the PCs. Smith had criticized two other Wildrose MLAs for defecting to the PCs a month earlier; she had publicly stated that "there'll be no more floor crossings. It was later revealed, however, that Smith and Prentice had been in talks about a possible merger for several months.

Hell of a great choice on your part Lep, now I understand why support Trump the six time bankrupt president.

My choice for the panel is Virden Manitoba born Jim Treliving who at the age of 18 join the RCMP and made his own millions, not some washed up fly by night ex Politian turned talk show host!

I guess that makes me more of a capitalist than you Lep!!!

Wow most of those people contributed to the mess we all were facing prior to the virus speeding the problem up. Income inequality is something no one wants to deal with. Front line workers getting minimum or low wages hockey players and exec s making millions a year. That’s our biggest problem.

How about first making a list of what are essential occupations and businesses for our country to be more self reliant should any other shit hit the fan.
Look at what industries will bring stable income through good and a bad times?
Look at what manufacturing secondary processing can be done here.
A National emergency plan for keeping the rest of the world out next time.

It would be interesting because we don’t have a large population to support using up our resources. That’s why trade is critical to get our stuff moving.

Cannot be fixated on fixing the global weather issue ourselves.

Cannot be fixated on one industry OIL. Who knows how long that price problem will last we d have been fkd even without the virus because that’s what we waste so much resources and time fighting about.

Brad wall and the like couldn’t manage things when he had money rolling in faster than he could count and look what he did with that and lol where we are? Slowly becoming a one industry province. Beyond dumb.

excellent choice furrow

Maybe have two task forces .....
one for Western Canada , one for eastern Canada .
Would create a quicker more targeted response to each region and less division of politics
Just an idea .

like the idea about list of essential occupations
can't figure out why you hate conservatives so much ?
surely you were here during the dark years?

This would be key, there are totally different priorities on each side of Thunder Bay.

[Oliver88]

That was the cost of bringing Sask. out of the stone age and the investment he made has payed back thousands of time over!

1985 natural gas expansion project is a good example.

Good discussion boys and one that needs to happen on a national level.
The way I see it is we need a good mix of people from the private sector, along with a couple current federal mp’s to be the contact between the task force and current administration, as well as a few past political leaders who understand how govt works and have experience. They must be willing to work together and not allow politics to interfere. The government needs to take the recommendations and act on them immediately and not play politics!!
I can not emphasize the following point enough!! The current federal and provincial governments need to do their job instead of trying to keep their job!! please do what is right and not what is popular or what you think will get you re elected!

[furrowtickler]

For something like this to work efficiently you need high level business people and leaders and few politicians.
As shown already on here by a few , phuck all would get accomplished with the pissing and moaning about a politicians past .
This needs a common sense hands on approach. It will be critical to get it done right or we will all be screwed.

Exactly

some of these lessons are invaluable
i think her heart was in the right place but was beat from the start by the big orange socialist machine

Case, if you bring that witch back into anything I'm leaving.

Grant Devine just about bankrupted Saskatchewan.

Under Devine's premiership, Saskatchewan's debt grew from $3.5 billion to $12 billion.[5] Devine governed during some of the worst droughts since the "Dirty Thirties". The price of oil and agricultural commodities collapsed. In the end, the high cost of government mortgage rate reduction policies during 19 per-cent interest rates and his agricultural rescue policies resulted in a large deficit. The year Devine came to government the provincial GDP only grew 0.6 per cent, down from 20.9 per cent growth the previous year.[6]

Grant was in charge when - Although Devine himself was never implicated in any criminal wrongdoing, 13 out of 55 Conservative MLAs and staffers were subsequently charged with expense account fraud committed during Devine's second term (1986–1991). The scheme accounted for $837,000 of defrauded government funds.[15] Of these a handful were acquitted while some served prison time.[16][17]

Usually i just sit quiet and follow the debates on here if you could call them that especially when you are involved. You never ever have any reasoned input except to spew bullshit. Just **** off already your ****ing wheat board glory days are over and done. Get a grip on reality. Sorry to the rest of you on here for the outburst but enough is enough.I'm guessing i won't be on here much longer anyway.
