Nope. Under Lorne Calvert, the GDP of the oil and gas sector in Saskatchewan actually grew at a faster rate than in Alberta. In fact, back then, the industry was declining in Alberta. Calvert saw the industry grow 13.4%, it fell in Alberta by 6.5%. #skpoli

We've lost nearly $20 Billion in #Sask to an inefficient potash royalty system that hurts provincial finances and discourages investment and competition, + we've spent over $10 Billion on corporate subsidies that a consensus of economists oppose as wasteful and distortionary. /7

In 2007, a Government came in facing a booming economy and stable finances. It brought in billions in waste and scrapped the balanced budget law. Since then, that Government has hiked taxes and tripled debt. The economy has stagnated, as have jobs and wages. #skpoli

This is misleading. The argument that the Saskatchewan Party is effectively making here is that the purchasing power of teachers in #Saskatchewan should be cut 9.5%, not raised by 7%. Teachers are asking the government to at least maintain their purchasing power. #skpoli

While the STF says this isn’t about money, they continue to demand a 23.5% increase. Your Saskatchewan Party Government will continue to address issues around class size and composition, while ensuring that a fair deal for teachers is also a fair deal for Saskatchewan taxpayers.
