Corporate Tax Cuts Paying Off?
Saskatchewan’s job numbers are increasing! Statistics Canada confirms that Saskatchewan has added 9,600 people to the labour force since one year ago. This pales in comparison to the nearly 100,000 added in Alberta but does out-do our neighbor to the East by almost 2,000.
It appears that the corporate tax cuts introduced in the last provincial budget may be paying off. It’s too bad they came years after the Saskatchewan Party began advocating for such cuts. Maybe if this had been done earlier, we wouldn’t have lost thousands of people to Alberta in the last year.

Right you are. It is just like the rise in oil royalty paymants a couple of years ago that was caused by a lowering of the rates. Simple economics, but socialists usually act against economic principles to buy votes.

I don't think it would be any different. Alberta is in a sedimentry basin. The oil sands are closer to the surface. Alberta was going to have a boom before us because of that. Saskatchewan is still a better place to live than Alberta reagardless.

Another reason to vote NDP, a well managed economy.

I'm not saying that oil isn't a part of it, but I think that the corporate tax cuts have definitely gone a long way to creating these jobs and will continue to in the future. If you don't believe me, ask Ms. Atkinson, the Minister of Advanced Training and Employment who stated essentially the same thing today in Swift Current.

Sorry, but it's not a well managed economy we need but one that is left to the market to determine. That we still don't have in this province.
