Irrigation project cost would exceed return to provincial government

lose 80% overhead and company functions much better....let that sink in

Seems like an excellent model to apply to the government. Imagine how much better the economy could function if he succeeds in removing that burden.

But A5 you persist in your climate change denial views that are just not supported by much of anything. Go figure?

You continue to make this claim.

As we have discussed in countless times in the past, in complete opposition to denying, I fully embrace the benefits of climate change, and the associated benefits of increased CO2.
As I have said over and over, as of the end of the last cooling phase in the 70's this area could hardly grow barley and oats, the season was too short, and the heat units were so lacking.
Now we are successfully growing wheat and long season canola.

I can imagine but it would be naive to think the powers that be would allow it.

Hopefully much like Twitter.
Look at things differently and get rid of all the Departments of nice to have that haven't done anything for generations.
Let the people keep thier money.

Let the people keep thier money.

Nothing more than a faux concern on Agriville, when some on here have bragged about being eager and willing Takers to get a fiscal advantage over their neighbors.

So much for walking the talk.

Trump wins this election tomorrow. As much as I see through his bs and despise his soft stance on Russia and draconian women rights views his previous policies must’ve been sound enough that the Biden regime kept many intact. Doesn’t matter who wins trade relations between Canada and the USA will be strained going forward. Keystone at least gets built and hopefully waste cutting truly is enacted. Once the democrats get their heads out of their asses and realize they need to listen and act upon middle American concerns they will be doomed to where they are.

. Once the democrats get their heads out of their asses and realize they need to listen and act upon middle American concerns they will be doomed to where they are.

It has been interesting watching the Democrats evolve throughout the course of this campaign. At the current pace, they will soon be further right than where the Republicans started out at.

Apparently they figured out a little too late that woke and climate and aren't election winning strategies. I doubt the Canadian left will ever learn that simple lesson.

More to getting kids on with Musk, niece and nephews son graduated from engineering in Stoon 5 years ago and got a great job in Fort Mac. They came for him after year 2, paid for a lot of the remainder of school, helped him financially to buy a house and gave raises each year. Musks team called him a year ago and asked if he would do an interview. Would require moving to Texas which he was in favour of. He did the interview, actually a series of interviews and got a job offer. Ended up declining the offer when his current employer gave him a new position and is in the process of moving him to Calgary, where he was originally from. Quite an interesting career so far for a 26 year old. Hope he doesn’t regret letting that move to Texas go.

You claim climate change is good for you after a drier than normal year in your area, but if southern Alberta and the US gets hotter and drier and suffers more crop losses you are still okay with that?

And there are the negative impacts in most of the rest of the world. Which you seem not to be concerned with.

To summarize, as long as you perceive a personal benefit nothing else matters?

Well that explains it then!
