Holy Schmoly!!

Saskatchewan Positioned for Population Boom
"Statistics Canada thinks there will be a lot less elbow room in this province by 2036.

The federal agency says Saskatchewan's population could boom to as much as 1.3 million.

Labour minister Rob Norris believes it's a realistic goal, and the province will be ready."

""People have come up and said, 'Keep going. Don't back down.' We want to make sure that population growth continues. We want to make sure that the economy continues to be recognized as one of the leading forces in the country."

The 1.3 million projection is on the high end of StatsCan's forecast. The low end has just over 1.1 million people calling this province home a quarter-century from now.

Norris says the newcomers or returning expats will be needed to address what he calls a talent challenge."
We can do it, Saskbabies. All we gotta do is keep the Now Dead Party, and their enablers, at bay for the next quarter century. Should be doable.
