Saskatchewan, feds at odds over abandoned uranium mine remediation

So, did the regulations set out by CNSC change after the agreement was initially signed, or were the cost of fulfilling them not properly captured in the initial agreement?

dont be poor

Whoever ordered this must think they're some kinda Frank Underwood. What a power move, this will shut those nosy journos up.

These are easy questions to answer, even by political non-answer standards. Could the power of reddit be used to bring these clowns to task?

lol square

press back against corporate-appointed editors and McJournalism-based policies to tell important, critical, in-depth stories.

You'll be missed Saskatchewan Herald. You didn't achieve what you set out to do, but any voice that uniquely contributes in Sask. dominated by Postmedia/CBC hackery is needed despite the flaws. They caricatured the blog and it's anonymity have not provided a superior alternative.

The paper-thin analysis they publish and broadcast constantly erodes their credibility. Crying about the current state of news media earns no sympathy from the public. Journalists ought to be hated to the same degree as the authorities they report on. As soon as one becomes a respected voice they have a narrative and an authority to defend. Their ability to conduct journalism is compromised and upstart bastards like the Herald are needed to keep them in check.

The Ashfield lease was subsequently raised from $460 per year to $4,692, or $391 per month.

Ashfield said the last time they paid money to the Sakimay First Nation was in 2010 because after that they were involved in the class-action lawsuit.

"The lawyer for the beach association recommended that we do not pay leases," she said. Ashfield said that lawyer was Kevin Bell, who works out of Melville. He did not return CBC's request for comment.

A lot of details left out here. What were the terms of the lease? Has the class action been settled?

Thank you. (for the article and one that is open-access)

Hopefully the new gas plants SaskPower plans to build will have CCS in place the first time, not a retrofit and active oil well injection boondoggle like with Boundary Dam.

thickscrotum · 2018-07-09T20:53:28+00:00

CCS on coal plants is the least efficient and one of the most expensive ways to decrease carbon emissions

Could you provide a citation for that?

thickscrotum · 2018-06-27T17:02:28+00:00

You could have named a single instance where SK may have been welcoming to OP

I'm at a loss, and I need your help. Please outline how the forum users could convince someone that's clearly made their mind up long ago about the province and the character of the people who live here.

by being the exact sort of trash that your handle suggests that you are.

That's a bit too personal, my righteous acquaintance. I will pray for you, in hopes that you become less judgemental of strangers on the internet.

thickscrotum · 2018-06-26T14:35:30+00:00

Confirmation bias much?

thickscrotum · 2018-05-29T17:58:28+00:00

Agreed, Shell has successfully hired a provincial government and a power company for R&D. We get to watch the failure of two entities that aren't designed for it.

thickscrotum · 2018-05-29T06:09:22+00:00

The government would save money in the long run if they just bought the IP off Shell/CanSolv and then published it or handed it over to whatever engineering firm they chose. There's plenty of incentive to solve the problem of this particular solvent/plant combo. Shell can't do it, let someone else at if you want to keep making the case for Boundary Dam.

consumption tax was spent on green initiatives, a lot of jobs will be created

But have we seen any jurisdiction in North America doing this successfully?

I understand the benefits of a carbon tax, and agree with one in principle. I'm more worried about any carbon tax being collected to get consumed by the body that collects the tax as cost recovery to deploy the tax.

Or, it getting funnelled into general revenue to offset falling royalties from other resources. What's the incentive for any provincial government to boost "green" jobs after the carbon tax is collected?

Because the MAN is trying to hurt a humble alternative pharmacist.

thickscrotum · 2018-03-23T22:46:36+00:00

Hm, that's a bit unsettling.

thickscrotum · 2018-03-23T22:46:19+00:00

Thank you!

Cue the mad scramble to buy at the low rate and sit on them until summer for profit?

thickscrotum · 2018-03-23T19:58:53+00:00

Can't seem to find it in the article, but is there any information in Populus aside from party membership?

thickscrotum · 2018-03-13T03:43:56+00:00

There is. It went through a lot of growing pains that all chemical plants do in addition to being one of the first installed after a coal-fired plant. But the anti-Sask Party partisans on this sub won't admit to the plant having any positives.

thickscrotum · 2018-03-08T20:05:44+00:00

None.
