Poll suggests narrow race between NDP, Sask. Party in general election

Shake my head at the asinine comments coming out of the mouths of the federal environment minister or Charlie Angus. Especially angus as he represents a riding which benefits from roads and resources. Guilbert is an eco terrorist so he’s radicalized and I am quite frankly surprised he’s gone this long without saying something dumb.

Guilbert has said/done stupid things before this while in office.
Seems to me, people with level heads and non-biased opinions would be very beneficial in a political/cabinet position. But then again, would we have much of a cabinet?

Angry Moe sent a bill of over 100 grand to the NDP for them to get information released on conflict of interest issues.while Sask party has no problem buying ads with Brandt industry and oil company donations.At the beginning when the conservatives and liberal parties joined together to create the sask party cause the crooked Devine government ruined the conservatives they were very good.Now Moe and Devine governments have a lot in common.

Appears to be that way but does is warrant electing the ndp back in? We’re caught between a rock and a hard place. Be nice if we had an alternative that didn’t stink of the past and communism.

Exactly. Perhaps 10 new candidates will help bring a better attitude.

I think there needs to be a sharper focus on the economy healthcare and education. Maybe skip the multi billion dollar investment in irrigation at this time.

A new NDP government would be mostly newbies in addition to the existing uninspiring candidates. Definitely a recipe for disaster.

NDP party has changed in Sask.would have never thought I would vote that way but if Sask does not get a political correction I am afraid when Moe forms a sask revenue of its own he will put massive farm corporation and capital gains tax on farmers thinking he will keep their vote anyway.Education and health care need some attention in sask for a few years before another sask party government comes back in with a fresh new slate of people To run the province.

I have never heard a mention of higher corporate or capital gains taxes on farmers. That is pure fiction, made up BS.

"Carbon tax is not rebated"? Huh? Do you never look at your bank account because it is direct deposited. I received $1120 last year in carbon tax rebates in 2023. Just got a quarterly payment of $280 a few weeks ago which easily covers all our farm direct carbon tax payments for gas and electricity.

80% of consumers in provinces that don't have their own carbon tax receive rebates.

90% of the carbon tax is rebated.

The parlimentary budget officer and economist Trevor Tombe showed that the carbon tax has very little impact on inflation and is well below 1%.

How did you figure out how much carbon tax you pay?
It gets listed when I buy propane and it is shown on the natural gas bill which is easy to see.
Do you know how much the trucking company that hauls grain for you pays? What about the railroad that moves your grain?
All the trucks that bring groceries to all the town stores? Plus the carbon tax the local grocery store pays on heating?
All the mining companies that provide fertilizer?
This list could go on and on!
That 1120 is a small fraction of what we really pay.

I agree with you in part but I’d be more inclined to believe the ndp would be more so apt to hammer the capitol gains than would the Sask party. I know you have issues with the expansion of the pst and other taxes but I can’t quite understand your reasoning that a change to another party with a known track record of increased taxation especially on business would achieve different results.

I have it figured out now. CC is like a Rockefeller. Previous generations created generations of wealth for which realistically the heirs have it made to pursue whatever they wish even if it involves spitting in the eye of the industry and the set of conditions (free market, capitalism) which created their comfortable existence. Maybe it is white mans guilt bestowed upon them or it’s a vile hatred of fellow peers in the industry but it makes for a bloody hypocrite.

There was a woman on the radio from Sask Trucking Assn. a while back who said average fleet pays $20,000 a year per truck.

I live near a small town where I hear about 5 trucks gearing up on the hyway when they leave in the morning. Log trailers mostly.
One guy leaves at 3:15 am like clockwork and they are all gone by 6AM.
Tough way to make a living.
So those 5 guys probably pay $100,000+ yr Carbon Tax or 1/2 Million every 5 yrs?
That has to be a lifestyle adjustment in that business.
No doubt Mr Trudeau can get better value for that money than they can?

The rebate to individuals is just a distraction to buy votes.

PST on insurance- totally absurd!
