The reason many of us are sick and tired of ALL political leadership is that they say one thing when out of power and do another when they get in. All of their decisions are based on their political survival ...certainty not on their principles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-33986366814749338162010-10-22T09:30:03.762-06:002010-10-22T09:30:03.762-06:00Anon 2:14 - I agree with you.

Whether we take a hit to the provincial coffers now, or a decade from now, the hit is coming as a result of that agreement. Perhaps that is why the NDP are not as vocal as expected. As for the Sask Party supporters, what's their alternative?<br /><br />Anyone still wonder why we have poor voter turnout?Civic Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443710689996286139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-30616014656284865932010-10-22T08:21:41.741-06:002010-10-22T08:21:41.741-06:00Anon 8:46;

If it were an NDP leader taking this stance this blog would be full of the usual b.s. rhetoric of needing to throw the socialists out. Thats why many of us are disgusted by partisan politics. The usual political hacks from all parties have no objectivity....merely whatever there party leaders do is ok with them...sheep?? Wall is merely playing to public opinion and the pressures of his many Sask. Party supporters on the PCS Board of Directors. Hardly a decision based on sound business or what is in the public's best interest.

That is why we can't allow Ling back in government. I would hope that the negotiations that happen are put in writing and I think that is what Wall is looking for. One can never commit to what prices and markets will do in the future but definitely protecting our royalty structure is a good idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-77328317341078101212010-10-20T20:22:09.371-06:002010-10-20T20:22:09.371-06:00I never thought I would say that PM Harper got som...I never thought I would say that PM Harper got something right but his "An American corporation operating in Canada being bought by an Australian corporation operating in Canada". <br />Not sure there are any rules that would stop this one from happening. <br />Wall was painted into a corner in this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319042645944598014.post-12570197370204504402010-10-20T19:42:23.098-06:002010-10-20T19:42:23.098-06:00Of course if BHP manages to dismantle canpotex and...Of course if BHP manages to dismantle canpotex and potash prices decline then the royalties to the prov treasury will decline too.
