Coal Revival: From living on borrowed time to once again having a future: United Mine Workers of America
Eight years. That’s how long the leadership of United Mine Workers of America Local 7606 has been fighting what until very recently was a losing battle to maintain coal mining jobs at the Westmoreland Estevan Mine.
Coal Revival: RM of Estevan Reeve Jason LeBlanc gave a speech in the snow on Parliament hill in support of coal, now it has been saved
“We are over the top happy. The reason I say that is because the RM has been a strong advocate and been really pushing hard for the provincial government to get control of SaskPower, and they’re now taking a leadership role in common sense practice.” – Jason LeBlanc
Regina Refinery at 90 and Devine’s Upgraders, Part 6: Were the Lloydminster and Regina upgraders enormous money losers, or huge successes? The conclusion
For all the political strife over cost overruns of the two projects as they were built, and their initial struggles, the added provincial royalties in the 21st century made up for that in spades. And the further investment in northwest Saskatchewan’s heavy oil patch has far outstripped the money spent on the Bi-Provincial Upgrader, even when you adjust for inflation.

Regina Refinery at 90 and Devine’s Upgraders, Part 5: Were the Regina and Lloydminster upgraders worth it? The two upgraders’ massive impact on provincial revenue
“Any reasonable entrepreneur in North America, if they had these resources, they would have done the same thing. Now, you had to be very determined about it, because it wasn’t easy. And you had the cyclical (nature) to deal with, but a lot of good entrepreneurs and business people, they know cycles. I would say it certainly contributed significantly to Saskatchewan, and it’s not going to change.” – Grant Devine
