Book Synopsis Natural Resources and Government Revenue: Recent Trends in Saskatchewan by : John W. Warnock
Download or read book Natural Resources and Government Revenue: Recent Trends in Saskatchewan written by John W. Warnock and published by Canadian Centre Policy Alternatives. This book was released on 2005 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the expansion of democracy, and the election of the CCF Government in 1944, the people of Saskatchewan have consistently felt that natural resources should be developed for the benefit of all. [...] In Canada today, and in many other countries, economic rent from resource extraction and use is considered to be the difference between the basic international price of a commodity less all the costs of production - including exploration, development of the extraction process, operating the system, the capital invested and the transportation costs. [...] Economic rent under this definition would include the excess profits captured by the corporations, as well as the special taxes, fees and royalties, which are used by governments to try to appropriate a share of the rent for the general public - the legal owners of the natural resources. [...] The theory is that the private company responsible for the extraction owes royalties to the owners of the resource, the general public, and this should be considered a basic cost of production. [...] For example, in 2004-5 there was a major increase in the price of oil and natural gas unrelated to the cost of extraction, and the monopoly rent was captured by the private corporations and their owners.
Download or read book Saskatchewan Book written by and published by Rocky Mountain Books Incorporated. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evocative collection of contemporary photography that shines a light on the charm and disintegration of small towns in Saskatchewan. Captured over 30 years, the 200 images in this finely wrought exhibition document prairie landscapes and rural structures like no other in recent memory. With skill, sensitivity, and a renowned eye for detail, documentary photographer George Webber once again transports the viewer with his lens across time, geography, and history. Bright colours, sun-baked facades, endless horizons, and straight edges are all beautifully haunted by the shadow of time's inevitable decay and nature's slow embrace of abandoned human settlements. The varying shades of prairie-blue skies can hum with optimistic vibrancy, while fists of cloud can march toward an unknowable front. Saskatchewan Book shows us that small prairie towns remain beacons of affection and bastions of memory, all the while succumbing to the enigmatic fate that eventually enfolds all living things.

Book Synopsis New Directions in Saskatchewan Public Policy by : David McGrane
Download or read book New Directions in Saskatchewan Public Policy written by David McGrane and published by University of Regina Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new scholarly compilation by David P. McGrane, established and emerging trends in Saskatchewan public policy are the foundation for setting new directions for the province in the 21st century. In what direction should Saskatchewan be headed in the 21st century? To answer this question, academics from various disciplines at the University of Regina and University of Saskatchewan have come together to produce New Directions in Saskatchewan Public Policy, the first edited book exclusively devoted to public policy in the province, with chapters discussing taxation, immigration, agriculture, urban affairs, poverty reduction, the social economy, labour, aging, Aboriginal public administration, and climate change. The authors provide an analysis and description of the current policies of the Wall government, and also look back to explore what the Romanow and Calvert governments did in these areas. The overarching theme of the book is that, despite the province's robust economic growth, significant public policy challenges remina for the Saskatchewan provincial government. The lesson is that economic growth does not magically solve entrenched societal problems and that economic prosperity will dissipate if worrisome social trends are left unchecked. While many scholarly books shy away from prescription, the authors of this book include sections in their chapters that set out new directions for policy development. As such, the book not only contains solid analysis of the present policy situation, but also offers concrete ideas for future policy makers.

Farmers and ranchers; researchers, teachers, and inventors; leaders in 4-H and the cooperative movement; home economists and agriculture extension workers; journalists, politicians, and activists--whatever the individual endeavour, all worked with the goal of improving farming, and ultimately, improving the lives of those who farmed.

Book Synopsis The Literary History of Saskatchewan by : David Carpenter
Download or read book The Literary History of Saskatchewan written by David Carpenter and published by Coteau Books. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 3 shifts its focus to Regina’s literary culture and to the coming generation of younger writers, but it continues to examine the best work from Saskatchewan. The impact, the relevance, the illuminations of our best writers’ work tend to move well beyond the borders of our province. This work transcends the regional sources of its inspiration. Just as Marilynne Robinson has much to say to Canadians about the disruptions and the graces of family life, Dianne Warren has much to say to Americans about the omnipresence of the past, the shadows it casts on people’s lives in the present. Many of our best books are nurtured by the history and the life of this province, but they spring into literature roughly in proportion to their applications and their immemorial responses to the human condition.
