[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by rossrobertmoorejr</i> <br />Just out of curiosity, was that radio station part of the Asper family's CanWest group? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />It was 800 CHAB from Moose Jaw.

I understand that when, and if, that happy day ever occurs, a boom in cross-border rail grain traffic is expected. Since the Saskatchewan Party is heavily pressing for this, are they doing better in the polls these days against the Provincial NDP's? I understand that Stephen Harper's Federal CPC's would also like to get rid of the CWB? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I actually haven't heard anything about that in the news lately. It was a hot topic a while ago, but it seems to have lost some of its momentum since then. The last election was pretty close and I believe that the Saskatchewan Party is doing better now than they were before. Some are predicting that they'll replace the NDP in the next election. There was something happening a few months ago that had a lot of people thinking that the NDP would end up losing its power and having to call an election. I can't remember what it was now. I feel like an idiot because I should know this. It's going to be bugging me until I can think of it. Anyway, whatever it was, it didn't happen, so we've still got the NDP until the next election.
