When i read stuff like this i always think of that simpsons episode where Homer invents the "everything is ok alarm" and a loud siren goes off all the time and if it stops then somethings wrong,then he shoots marge in the face with a makeup shotgun.

Going to be some rough rides. An unmanageable operating loan or advance will wipe out some farmers overnight when interest rates pop up like maple bugs do in the fall. imho Pars

Stupid is as stupid does. Can't believe my taxes are going to pay for this.

Come to saskaboom dalek.

The province is considering building a three hundred million dollar dome stadium for the riders.

Sounds like a good idea until you drive down some of our highways and think hmm..maybe we need money for this to,what about the provincial debt?,what about that billion dollar nuclear reactor,what about our unfunded liabilities..oh well we'll just borrow the money and let our children pay it off,after all there is an entire 1million people here now.

Cottonpicken.... the media excitement for a domed
stadium is indicative of the urbanization of this
Country ... including our Province.

It was clear to me a few years ago when Minister
Doreen Hamilton replied to a question regarding
the condition of our secondary highways.

She responded there was more traffic in her alley
than on these roads!

Do you think a new stadium would be on the radar
without the revenues/royalties from agriculture,
resources, tourism, small businesses, etc.?

Parsley.... in the current environment, perspectives
without any indication of targets and time lines are
largely disregarded.

What do you foresee as unbearable interest and
when?

I ask you because the cost of lost opportunity can
be very high.

BTW.... even a stopped clock is correct twice a
day!... lol.... Bill

[bduke]

Parsley.... I should have asked you what "pop up like
maple bugs in the fall" is in numbers...... 5%?.. 10%?...
15%?... 30%?

If the maple bugs in our yard are any indication, I
would relate your comment to 50%!..lol... Bill

[parsley]

I just got home and had a lonnnnng day, but I say within a year's time, I can see interest rates passing 24%.

Hokey, you say? LOL Wanna put some cash on the line? A euro? Aha. Let's see if you are bold. lol Pars

PS You have heard of a Euro, right? LOL

[cottonpicken]

I cant get to mad at city folk for the venture(although mr.hyde is)progress and the scence of progress is very important...but preeching to the choir- getting ahead of yourself is "not smart".I want my own dome stadium but i NEED fertilizer.

[parsley]

hyde, what are you smokin' these days?


LOL

[parsley]

Read that again, hyde. It's July, isn't it?.

Duke, I mention interest rates and you lose interest. LOL

I should be able to take a bit of money offa you. lol
