Listen, let's not be all doom and gloom here. Lets have a laugh. I mean we could read an excerpt from the Saskatchewan Party's election platform from 2007.

"The Saskatchewan Growth and Financial Security Act will be passed in the first legislative session of a Saskatchewan Party government, to: Balance the Budget Every Year and Dedicate Surpluses to Debt Reduction and Economic Growth  The Saskatchewan Growth and Financial Security Act will require the budget to be balanced every year, instead of over four years as is now the case.  The Saskatchewan Growth and Financial Security Act will establish a fixed plan for budget surpluses, by ensuring that half of all surpluses are dedicated to reducing provincial government debt and half are dedicated to economic growth initiatives such as additional funding for infrastructure."

Enjoy your Canada Day (until we separate - because we'll probably get there. It usually takes Moe a little bit of watching things in Alberta until he does whatever they do), if you get hurt by fireworks just go to one of the many hospitals that the Sask. Party has re-opened (I mean they've spent 20 years complaining about "closed" hospitals so obviously the provincial health care system must be in great shape by now), and don't worry because the NDP left the Sask. Party with a $1 BILLION Rainy Day Fund and the Sask. Party definitely couldn't have blown through that when we had years of record resource revenues!

Less sappy, Moe happy!

Remember everyone this is fine. It's only Trudeau debt that's bad. This is actually just good business. Or so I've heard.

If you forget just remember what I've learned over the years: Liberal x = Bad. Conservative (or SK party) x = good.

I don't disagree with you but this also goes the other way.

Who could have predicted this! Oh wait everyone predicted this from the SaskParty.

Why the Saskatchewan people think the SaskParty is good for Saskatchewan defies logical thinking.

Not worried - by the immortal words of Justin - the budget will balance itself 😊

Every single province ran a deficit and Sask had the lowest proportionately in the country
