Saskatchewan Election

I will be keeping my eye on this one. I have seen with my own eyes what struggles tradionally "conservative" areas of the province have gone through when trying to lobby for services for their area and have been ignored by the NDP. One small example, the well-travelled highway in southeastern Saskatchewan that goes to the Border has been ignored for years to the point where it is nearly impassable. A town in the same area, lobbying for health care facilities for years, finally went about doing most of the fund-raising themselves to provide the area with a wonderful integrated health care facility.

Is Saskatchewan becoming Alberta-lite? It would seem so, if you believe the media, so something must be going right. Real estate investors are going beserk buying up properties.

Apparently the Liberals have had no seats in the last four years.

Saskatchewan Party leader Brad Wall said after 16 years of NDP government, it's time for a change.

Should be an interesting few weeks.
