Sask Irrigation project

[shtferbrains]

And Moe has preached the last few months about the federal government giving breaks to some and not others.Unfortunately Moe can do whatever he wants and get elected cause too many in sask were born to think politics is like a family religion.
.

Also widespread "anybody but the NDP" vote possibly brought on by all those suitcase for grad present years?

Grant Devine initiated the Ammonia plant at Belle Plaine.

He was widely chastized for making a deal with the evil Cargill for doing it.

Grant Devine put Rafferty in place also.But unfortunately so crooked that the PC party had to join the liberals to form the Sask Party to ditch their reputation.

Why any government would prioritize a ‘likely loss blood sucker project’ and not health care is beyond me. There is so much needed in our health regime here, we are shipping people to Alberta and US to get treatment when we should be training nurses/doctors right here. Come On Moe, use your head.

One would think governments would learn their lessons about using taxpayer money on these types of projects.

At the very least they should be subscription based where the people benefitting put up some money and X amount of years to infill , or at least the government is allowed the capital gain on their land when sold if the benefitting landowners put no money in.

The project will take at least 5 years to infill. The existing projects took 30 years to infill to the point where government has to start funding them again for expansion as they can't afford it on their own. (surprised yet )

I have learnt there are different types of farmer's opinions and backgrounds on a project like this.

1. The cheerleaders rah rah because the Saskparty did it. No understanding of the history.
2. Those that benefit and will spend their money until it's gone.
3. Young farmers that built a farm by themselves and realize how phucked this is.
4. Generational farmers that can look at it objectively but pay little attention.
5. The lobbyists that wouldn't do it on their own or spend their own money. ( closet socialists) pretending to be capitalists. I met one at an open house and he couldn't do the math on this.

Who are the lobbyists on this? Someone must be pushing for it.

I partly blame the opposition not being strong and calling out the government. They are getting better though. but Moe math does not add up.Moe is being funded by oil companies and companies like Brandt so advertisement money is no object.Seems like the teachers strike has taken a toll on the Sask party .My biggest fear with Moe is he is forming a tax department to grab all the capital gains and corporate tax from farmers .after all who else can he add taxes on and not lose a vote?

A certain owner of a JD dealer in the area that sells valley pivots. That's a start. Then there are all the lobby farmers that couldn't finish it over the last 40 years.

Again full on BS. Never been mentioned anywhere about this.

But what HAS been mentioned is the Liberals requirement to report bare trusts in the form of joint bank accounts and joint names on title. As well as any homes owned by partnerships or corporations for the underutilization tax.

All of this reporting is lining up so they know who owns what when they begin taxing capital gains on your house as well as adding additional taxes for bare trusts.

Brought to you by a needy socialist.
