Yes, this is a file photo of a potash mine. I don’t have any photos of Jansen yet. And the piece was about all potash, not just one mine, in case anyone was wondering.
“Mine! Mine! All mine!”, I cackle. Sorry, the old reflexes die hard.
A lot of conjecture, even if well founded.
More revenue for the province generally results in more spending and more waste. Is more spending going to fix an education system that preaches woke ideology? Is more spending going to fix a medical system that mandates a potentially lethal jab, serves to enrich big Pharma and doesn’t take a healthy diet and lifestyle seriously?
One observation in the article is low share ownership by Saskatchewan residents. If Saskatchewan people like their crown corporations, there should be some resource revenue converted to investment on behalf of residents. The investment fund would pay out residents upon their retirement.
Okay. Obviously the NDP refuses to accept responsibility for its role since 1944 in how things turned out. But, the NDP claims to have all the remedies.
Because it’s full of Canadians.
