Given that the dataset used (and listed) in the graphic spans nearly 600 months and covers every province, it was never going to be realistic for it to be broken down in granular detail.

However, other more recent annual datasets indicate that the bloat is largely in healthcare administration.

To be fair, and as the chart shows, the public sector share of employment did fall under Devine, and it was held flat under Wall. So both of those campaign promises were followed through upon by their respective proponents.

I need to post on here more often. Will also be posting more on Facebook as well since it is by far the largest and most used platform in the province.

The motion condemns Trump for proposing to annex Canada and imposing tariffs and does not support Canada putting export tariffs on Canadian resources.

The motion passes. #skpoli

When BHP attempted to buy PCS in 2010, Premier @BradWall306 vociferously opposed the move, saying his government didn’t support BHP’s philosophy, which was in reality economics 101.

Today? Radio silence on an uncompetitive merger that will slam #sask grain farmers.

U of S ag economics associate prof Tristan Skolrud at 27:20. You won't regret listening to his take which is expands upon what Ty Thiessen has posted here.

Ask yourselves why are we spending this money for so little in return? #skpoli #saskatchewan

The Diefenbaker Project makes sense for no one but a handful of landowners.

If #Saskatchewan is serious about supporting producers and delivering economic growth, the project should be scrapped.

Alternatives like R+D are far superior in all regards.

#Saskatchewan spends the least on research and development as a percentage of GDP in Canada.

If the province reversed that record, they could vastly expand economic output, advance the agriculture sector, support producers, and deliver returns for #Sask taxpayers.

Research and development is where subsidies make sense. Individual firms don’t capture substantial benefits from their own investments in R+D, creating a market failure where the #Saskatchewan Government can prudently take up the slack.

At a fraction of the cost of the Diefenbaker Project, the #sask provincial government could establish an endowment to finance research grants at the University of #Saskatchewan to reduce water stress, improve crop yields, and advance soil health. The possibilities are vast.

#Saskatchewan has, in #yxe, one of the best agricultural and water research institutions in the world, the University of Saskatchewan. The WIRP barely has the potential to benefit less than 1% of the province’s producers. Research and development benefits all producers and all of #Sask.
