Why I didn’t know that sooner ?

Is there any Saskatchewanean (???) in the room that could give me a « on the ground » critic of their services ?

    The Saskparty is trying to run over SaskTel so citizens are forced to pay more for private telecom services.

    I work for SaskTel so make of these statements what you will.

    SaskTel is not perfect. We do what we can to ensure good coverage for the people of Saskatchewan at decent prices. Unfortunately the SaskParty has been chipping away at us via underfunding and headcount mandates. This makes it much harder to keep services supported as well as they should be.

    SaskTel is under attack. Quietly. Stealthily. All in an attempt to prove that it would be better to sell to private interest. If anyone else is here from SK, please don’t vote SaskParty. They are quietly killing our crown corps (SGI, SaskPower, and SaskEnergy too).

        Do you mean for internet or cellular?

        Cellular yes, but home internet, I don’t think so. Though I am not sure if you need a SK side address to sign up for services or not. I’m more the IT side of things haha.

          Yes, I mean cellular. It’s must be soo cool to live in the border town since you can get the best of both worlds. Better cell service from Sask and lower drinking age from Berta.

    We had to draw provinces in Grade Three. I got Saskatchewan and still got a ‘C’.

    I lived in Regina for a few years and it’s everything a public service should be. We should probably have more public services, and we shouldn’t let the government sabotage them on behalf of private interests so that the private sector can pretend they’re saving the day. Don’t let the private interests and their government lackies scam you. A government is perfectly capable of running an extraordinarily effective public service. The governments we vote for aren’t interested in doing that, though.
