I was referring to overall 'resource wealth'. Saskatchewan has something like 1/3 of the entire world's uranium deposits, as well as being one of the major if not the only sources of potash. Add in the many other mines - gold, diamonds, and who knows what else along with vast tracts of timber and being the buckle in the country's 'grain belt' and what it boils down to is a difference in resource management, rather than a difference in resource wealth.
I think that Saskatchewan could be one of the foremost economic regions in the country if we could just elect some assholes that were on
our side instead of looking out for their own interests. That's pretty much the story of Canadian politics in general though, isn't it? Nice democracy we have - once, for a day, every four or five years. <sigh>
