Congratulations Sask Party! 50 to 11

[farmaholic]

The NDP needs to fold their tents and rename their party.
Sure is working for the sask party..
That old stupid name just is a major turn off for the majority of people here.

.....mired in the past. Rebrand/re-invent with new ideas that appeal to young minds, not only seniors and useless union hacks. Get rid of "business" is evil attitude.

Why do you need companies to come here when we can build are own like Sask Power, Sask Tel which are both very good at what they do and provide much cheaper rates than what is available in rural Alberta!

SaskTel is being driven out by their own management.....

Try going in to buy a new cellphone and they can't match Bell's offers ....Bell is using their towers for phuck sakes....

They are doing Bell's sales for them....


disclaimer ...I am still with Sasktel...but am looking for a new deal for phone..I would like to know how everyone in poor countries can have a cellphone?

[jazz]

So the sask part won and destroyed the ndp progressives in the process. Great, thats all fine, but what now?

How does Sask take the next leap in progress and wealth? Cant sell oil, potash is over built, and I think we are getting close to tippy top in grain production. There are some industries in between all that but those are our main ones.

Our debt has gone from $6B to over $12B in a couple yrs. Its still the lowest per capita in the country but thats a big number for us.

Province feels maxed out. I dont see where 100k new jobs will come from like Moe promised.

An dutch Albertan has been sitting with land near Outlook waiting for the government to fund his plans for a feedlot....wont happen til the government sends the cheque....he has his own money but would rather appear to be the catalyst for growth using taxpayers money while paper bagging a few million for himself.

100K new jobs.....lol, that's like 8.5% of Sask's population.

That's the same as 0% unemployment and afew extra jobs.

We know 0% will NEVER happen so most off those jobs will have to come from an employed population increase.

A very well run campaign with this.....

"""We will have a strong Saskatchewan with the plan and the plan is strong to build Saskatchewan."""....

That type of say nothing double talk....

Alberta elected continuous conservative governments until the stench of corruption was so bad people held their nose and voted for the NDP....

The same thing is and will happen here.....Bill Boyd just ran a test run of what they can get away with....


Devine's few unethical people were peanuts compared to what the Saskparty corruption will amount to.

And devine left the province with a real plan for growth ....Wall and Moe have done SFA to build any sort of lasting projects that leave good paying jobs here.

While SF3 and I agree on most things .....we are offside on this one...

Not the NDP was the answer but giving Moe a larger majority was not the answer either...

People like chuck have no vision
They cannot see the future , nor can they learn from the past
That is why they cannot comprehend what mr. devine did for Sask
This money that trudope has blown will bring us nothing but hardship
There was no infrastructure , SFA

What will the NDP learn about attracting support in the 28 rural ridings?
-they are pro-carbon tax, opposite view of farmers
-they supported the rail blockades, opposed farmers moving grain
-they supported coop union strikers blocking farm diesel fuel at refinery and cardlock
-at the anti-carbon tax rally in Regina Meilli said he basically hated every farmer and energy worker there and they were “deniers”
-they had a few NFU’ers run and they barely got their relatives to vote for them
-NDP is opposed to cheap reliable power grid and has fantasies about solar & wind scams
-NDP and their union thugs also attended large anti-police “defund the police” rallies while telling us it isn’t safe to send kids and the STF to school
-Meilli’s platform called for an annual 1% wealth tax for a larger farms assets. Meilli says could pay a wealth tax on your farmland, pay property tax on your farmland and get to do it all again the following year.

Part of the results of this election was because of the coop union strike during Covid shutdown of many small businesses ..... it left a bad residue on the NDP for supporting them all the way through . Then threatening to tax farms even more than we are already and blindly supporting the carbon tax on top of it all .
Results speak for themselves.
Agree the NDP need to reinvent themselves and think beyond the union walls or they will never be a functioning party in Sask ever again .

The Sask party did get a bit of a wake up call with the buffalo party .... that was Sask party votes .

Good points. The SaskParty will have to move right and cut out wasteful spending to compete with the Buffalo Party. The Buffalo Party platform is all common sense in fact the Moe should have a talk with them and copy their ideas especially about keeping all the existing power plants going.

That would be Cor Van Raay , based out of Picture Butte Alberta. Correct me if I am wrong on that.

I think he is a major proponent for the west side irrigation project where ....while the NDP shut it down 40 years ago....the farmers that will benefit the most haven't been able to write their own cheques to finish it...

True capitalist at work...find a government that will fund your plans under your name...dead loss to taxpayers money...


The proof ...a 100000 acres of cadillac irrigation ...Riverhurst, Luck Lake and SSRID are receiving 40 bucks an acre for 5 years ...to grow the same crops dryland farmers do....

Before they can say that irrigation will help the economy it has to be off the government tit....

Kinda like what Gary Pike tried to do ?
Cor Van Ray should not get a dime Of sask taxpayer money .
Pike fleeced sask taxpayers and got away with it .

With only 3.5% of the vote the Buffalo party might as well head for the cliff now! The Sask Party is herding them them there very effectively. Neither the PCs or the Buffaloed party are any threat. Once O'tooles prime minister the motivation to is lost.

[sumdumguy]

The 153 Club - I could name 5. (Maybe 6)

GRIP payments changed the prosperity of a lot of farms. Similar programs in the US which is why we can’t compete when u aren’t guaranteed a cost of production. Any industry needs a kick in the nuts to reinvent itself and weed out the problems that plague it. Sometimes that help comes from politicians with fore sight to see what the industry needs to get it rolling. Problem is we have no politicians with fore sight or better yet balls to do what’s right. Like SF3 says the NDP has to change a bit to promote a good option for the people. Having one party rule for too long just leads to an Alberta situation or worse yet a bunch of dummies like we have in Ottawa.

Buffalo Party got more votes than the Greens Chucky. I guess the Greens should lead the way to that cliff!
