Comment from Understand the Times:

The following short news item explains why some Saskatchewan government ministers are so connected to the thinkers and the shakers of the world. These "free thinkers" from China and the USA and other places, have one thing in common.

They have big $$$$$$$$$$$, power and influence and they meet together, sometimes behind closed doors.

However, the farmers of Saskatchewan have power too, when they unite and make a noise. When the light goes on, people vote the leader's out the door, don't they?

The Farmer's Advocate is dedicated to turning on lights and helping farmers see when they are being duped.

Hope this helps!

October 7 - Head office faceoff - Gov't seeks to ensure Sask.'s potash presence

Article: One World Government

The Saskatchewan Party government said Wednesday it is prepared to act -- potentially through the force of law -- to boost the provincial head office presence of Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc., no matter who ends up owning the company.

The issue arose as the Opposition NDP called for the return of PotashCorp's full head office and senior executives to Saskatchewan, even if the corporation isn't acquired in a hostile takeover by Australian mining giant BHP Billiton. BHP Billiton has said it will make Saskatoon the location of its head office for global potash operations if it is successful in its $38.6-billion US bid.

The government will start with persuasion, he said, but then may turn to other remedies. "You may look at legislation, to further strengthen the legislation around this issue," said Boyd.

"We hope there will be a voluntary move by the companies to strengthen their head office jobs here in Saskatchewan. We think that's a very, very important thing to the people of our province and we would be moving accordingly if that doesn't happen," he added.

The Saskatchewan Party government also has a "historic opportunity" to demand that the current management of PotashCorp relocate in full to Saskatoon even if the deal doesn't go through, he said.

The seeming agreement on the issue by the Sask. Party and NDP "reflects the fraught nature of the politics around the Potash Corporation."

Lingenfelter said he would like to see the companies spread more money farther beyond the borders of Saskatoon because potash is a provincial resource.
