Should property taxes be a combination of the property itself and the amount of families/non family members that live in them?
Regina City tax has increased 23.8% over the past 3 years, making it the highest increased tax city in Western Canada over that time. The city council is looking to raise taxes between 5.5-11% again for 2027. This is Ludacris! What are your thoughts on this?
This was 2 years ago and just crickets….SK Party continuous to be the worst, 20 years of this is enough!
Earlier this week, our government announced the location for a new joint-use elementary and high school in east Regina.
The new elementary school is set to accommodate a combined total of 1,400 students, with 800 spots allocated for the public school and 600 for the Catholic school. The high school will be in the same neighbourhood and is being designed to accommodate up to 2,000 students.
A strong economy means we can build new schools and a bright future for our students.
Remember this!!!! Yup Sask Party announced we actually have spent all that surplus, which is $300 million now. Damn I hate being right but with the Sask Party you just knew this was going to happen. Same old Sask Party BS!
Welcome to Sask Party Saskatchewan. The province has made $300 million more than they budgeted because oil revenue spikes. But wait….oh the Sask Party just announced, actually we spent $337 million of unbudgeted money in that same time on other things. They are just awful!
Every dollar over the SK party’s budget of $59.75 per barrel of oil Sk makes $44,000 extra per day. February 1st too today SK has made a surplus of $150 million, without looking at uranium or potash. But don’t worry we will be told the province has no money, it’s the SK party way
SK teachers continue to be the lowest paid in western Canada. In Manitoba a teacher with a B. Ed is a class 5 and in Saskatchewan they are a Class 4 (same teachers) A 10 year highly qualified experienced teacher is making $12000 dollars more a year in Manitoba than Sk
When people ask me what political point of view I am I say “on what issue”, it’s not a blanket all one way and don’t listen to the other. Stop acting like children and start listening and talking again.
Here’s a fun fact build pipelines, open up Canada’s economy to the world, encourage investment in Canada, also protect women’s right to chose, increase public wages, and realize their are crazy people on the right and left. This pick a side bullshit needs to end.
Honest question why are we paying the Governor General of Canada $1 million dollars a year through wage, staffing, and allowances? Why are we paying the same for each lieutenant governor in each prov/terr? Honestly we have Docusign technology, a Canadian subscription is less.
Just like to thank the 55% of teachers that rejected the governments “final offer” deal that had ZERO classroom complexity in the contract. The reason that we now have a contract with that language is 100% because of those Brave teachers that said enough is enough! Thank you!!!
Had a friend suggest this: As the cost of living in Saskatoon and Regina sky rocket higher than rural SK, should the cities be charging more for people using the facilities and amenities that do not live within them? Seems the tax base is compensating for everyone else. Thoughts?
Western Canadian teaching averages
Manitoba is currently the highest paid with $103,000 per year, second is Alberta with $102,000 per year, third is BC with $101,000 per year and SK is last with $87,000.
After SK teachers signed their new contract they are still the lowest paid in western Canada and it’s not even close. And we all need to stop saying well it’s cost of living. Fun fact a teacher living in Saskatoon(way higher cost of living) vs one living in Midale make the same
Has anyone followed how much money @BradWall306 has made for selling out our kids for his corporate donors then turning around and getting a corporate job afterwards. No big deal it’s only our kids.
The SK Party once again is saying that our students are worthless. They have decided to cut education property tax huge for Agriculture and Resources, both incredibly wealthy industries. This is right on par with the SK Party. It’s time for change! cjme.com/2025/03/11/sask-bud…
Imagine being conservative trump lap dogs like @PremierScottMoe and @ABDanielleSmith telling people don’t worry this is all only about the border. 😂🥴 time for Sk and Alberta to get some real leadership again that actually cares about people.
