The Canadian Success Story to Watch

Last week, I visited a wonderful, hospitable province, which, in my opinion, is the Canadian success story of the 21st century. It is almost hard to fathom that there is a province which;
-supplies 1/3 of the world’s potash
-supplies 1/4 of the world’s uranium
-is the 2nd largest oil producing province
-is the 3rd largest natural gas producing province
-is the 3rd largest coal producing province
-has significant oil sands potential
-has the world’s largest diamond exploration project (Shore Gold)
-has significant base and precious metal finds (zinc, copper, gold)
-has the largest rare earth minerals find in North America
-has significant potential for helium and associated gases

Few Canadians give much thought to Saskatchewan...but you should.  After years of overtly anti-business sentiment, an entrepreneur friendly government has risen to power.  Resource development is no longer a dirty word in Saskatchewan, and the result has been swift and dramatic.  Major mining company regional head offices are scattered around downtown Saskatoon.  The decades old population bleed has been stemmed, and the province grew by 30,000 last year.   Graduates who fled their homeland to Alberta, BC, and Ontario, are returning.  House prices have doubled.  Investment dollars are flowing in, and opportunity abounds.
Over the next few weeks, my show will concentrate on this growing investment opportunity.  Stay tuned...it really is an exciting opportunity.
