From the NDP convention this weekend, the policies;
- Potash royalty review
- Rent control
- 50% of all energy from renewable resources by 2025
- $100 million in affordable housing initiatives
- a renewed equalization fight with the Feds (which will only work if they get us back in "have-not" status)
The NDP election and policy platform will economically destroy us and drive people out of the province. But I believe that is what the intention is...
The NDP are a menace to the New Saskatchewan and want us to go back to the Old NDP Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan became a "have" province in spring and summer of 2007. Oh sorry, that was just according to Edmonton Journal, Bloomberg, Canada.com..... No wait...RBC had already made its growth predictions for 2008 by July of 2007 as well. Oh well... you tried.
So who are you trying to convince? Getting a better deal on equalization seems to be a tactic of a party that's uncomfortable with prosperity. True, Saskatchewan's fortunes rose before 2007, but that was due to soaring commodity prices, not government policy. It's way easier to halt prosperity than to cause it. Anybody with even a passing knowledge of Saskatchewan history knows that.
How would having higher royalty rates on Potash cause Saskatchewan to crash economically?
Potash companies reconsider future investment in places with the royalty structures similar to the one the NDP wants to implement. The structure we have is a big reason we are an economically vibrant province.
