I've always wondered why Sask. never moved ahead like Alberta did. The province has a lot going for it but seemed to just keep going downhill.
I remember an engineer telling me that Sask. has a lot of oil and gas but the govt. was so restrictive that the companys just didn't bother drilling unless it looked really good. A lot of the people in the "patch" come from Saskatchewan. And I don't just mean the roughnecks but engineers, drillers, consultants etc.
If the people of Saskatchewan were to get rid of their NDP govt. would things get better? Were things better when Devine was running the show?
How come Saskatchewan has all this cheap grain and feeder cattle, and yet they ship both to feedlot alley? To let someone else have all the profits and jobs? Nillson Bros. now own the MooseJaw plant and it is a topnotch facility. They have indicated a willingness to expand if they can get a feeding industry going. What is holding this back? Is Saskatchewans main problem their government?
