I'm from Saskatchewan and really can't stand Stelmach.

- Raising the royalties? Why? There is only one reason that Saskatchewan didn't have the oil boom that Alberta had/has. Sky high royalties. If Stelmach wants to level the playing field let him we'll take the boom. The oil companies won't drill as much in Alberta and look to Saskatchewan as a viable source. Or roads could use the money!!!

- Adding a second licence plate? Saskatchewan got rid of their front plate about 2 years ago TO SAVE MONEY.

- Bar age to 19? What's the difference. If a minor wants to drink they will find a way. I'm sure the kids are more knowledable these days and choose not drink and drive. I know more older people who drink and drive than younger people. And I'm 27. BTW Sask. has the highest D&D stats in Canada last I read, and our age limit is 19. Do they realize how many 18 year old Sask kids go to Alberta just to drink? If they raise the limit the bars close to the borders will lose lost of buisness.

- Minimum drink prices? Like that will stop people from drinking? They will just think about where they will get thier alcohol from. Going to a bar or going to a friend's house with a case of beer. Though I'm sure if one will pay $7 for a beer at a hockey game, they will pay $5 at a bar.
